How to Teach Musical Modes Using Disney Music

Hi friends!

Are you a music teacher? Do you teach about modes?

If so, grab a cup of your favorite drink, and watch this free playback of my webinar on teaching musical modes with Disney music!

Here are some of the questions we're going to tackle:

• What's the difference between "modes" and "scales?"
• Why do we want our students to learn about them?
• How can we easily, and meaningfully, remember the 7 classical modes WITHOUT counting half steps and whole steps?
• How have Disney composers used modes to evoke a variety of emotions?
• What examples from Disney music can you use in your teaching?

Musical examples will come from the following Disney films:

• Frozen 2
• Beauty and the Beast
• Little Mermaid
• Nightmare Before Christmas
• Brave
• Pocahontas
• Mulan

And we'll discuss the following modes:

• Major and Minor
• Ionian and Aeolian
• Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, and Locrian
• Pentatonic

Are there any topics you'd like me to discuss in future webinars? Let me know in the comments! :-)
