Simple Variations in Ionian Mode

Simple Variations in Ionian Mode.

Simple Variations in Ionian Mode will delight your early intermediate students. Older students who wish to play something sophisticated will be particularly interested in this lovely piece.

The Ionian mode is essentially the same as the major scale, sharing all the same pitches and intervals. The main difference lies in their functional harmony; the major scale emphasizes tonic and dominant relationships, while the Ionian mode explores all pitches more seamlessly without strong tension and resolution.

Teaching the modes through music is an effective way to engage students in music theory. The piece uses F as the tonal center.

Students can play this piece as a set or focus on the theme and/or only one variation. Simple Variations in Ionian Mode are easy enough for the early-intermediate student to learn quickly.

If your student is interested in learning another modal piece, take a listen to Simple Variations in Phrygian Mode and Lydian Mode.

Stay tuned for upcoming modal pieces.
