I think not. Spanish would have been a good option, but wasn't available at my school until ten years after I finished. Wouldn't have helped my singing, though... :sad: I hold a guitar upside-down (and had to have it pointed out to me), so Music A-Level? I think not.

I dropped out of that class and did Spanish instead. I remembered it as Tone, Semitone, Tone, Tone, Tone, Semitone, Tone, cos I don't do tetrachords, unless it's time for a floss. :mrgreen: Did someone do Music A-Level?

I will admit to having no clue as to the difference between the two types of scale, except that the Dorian mode was based on the Dorian tetrachord: descending, a series of falling intervals of two whole tones followed by a semitone. Applied to a whole octave, the Dorian mode was built upon two Dorian tetrachords separated by a whole tone (Wikipedia). Other than that, annoying senior doctors and janatorial staff seems to be about right... :???: As you’ll have seen, Dorian.

I think I was thinking about the jazz connection with dorian, aeolian is a bit conventional, but it does its job. Yeah, an mp3 would probably be easier. What was your result then?

'La-la-la-la-la..." doesn't really help if you happen to be (like me) tone-deaf... :sad: Bob Actually, I kind of expected my result to be Aeolian as well…

Almost works for me. You can be dorian if you like - you just need to go

“la-la-la-la-la…”

Almost works for me.
