In October 2016, we ran the Festival of Making Music - a weekend of music-making workshops in Scotland aimed at exploring shared concepts of rhythm, melody and harmony using simple tunes as a basis for improvisation.

This session demonstrates how to make use of different modes, like the Dorian, Ionian and Myxolydian.
