- Acclaimed fiddler Darol Anger digs into our modern functional versions of the Greek Musical Modes: What the heck are they? How they developed, how to remember them, and why and how they are still useful today.
Darol draws on his 45+ years of experience as a jazz violinist -- and a decade of professorship at the famed Berklee College of Music -- to illuminate an often confusing musical concept that happens to form the very center of western music, and modern improvisation.
Besides the 600+ regular lessons in Darol's Fiddle School, there are now almost 4000 Video Exchanges in a searchable (by subject or tune name) database. Also lots of interviews with various great fiddlers who share their fiddling insights and great stories. Find out more here:

This was amazingly good 👍
Fantastic way to explain and remember this! Thanks
Darol, you're a hoot! I did a brief workshop with you at the Vancouver Folk Festival back in the early 80's i think. You were so enthusiastic and forthcoming with great ideas. Workshop time over but you continued schooling us until Barbara pulled you away by the ear to get to your next performance.
Such a fun explanation, especially your visual depictions of those crazy Greeks~ from those sober Dorians who'll dance if you get enough meat in them, to those smiling, weird Lydians probably hiding something, the rocking Mixolydians you need to keep daughters away from, to those moping Aeolians! Awesome, thanks for sharing!😆
Oh my Zeus, you did it! This is amazing, Darol. I never heard the somewhat elusive concept of modes explained in such a practical, concrete manner. I knew that context was important in music but never did I realize that having the _historical_ context of the development of modes would pave the way to understanding its utility. Thank you for your videos!
Dear Gonzalo: Glad you liked it!
Really interesting, I love studying the modes. We’ve just dumbed music down to two modes in modern music. What’s the point of ignoring the other five modes?
