spiltmilk_2000 Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Hi there, trying to teach the dorian mode to some year 9 kids (13) of varying musical ability and am looking for an easy pop melody they can play on keyboard in D dorian... I can only think of miles Davis' So What and Beatles Eleanor Rigby and both seem a little sophisticated when notated. To those teachers out there... any melodies you would suggest? Thanks so much if you can help Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiltmilk_2000 Posted March 10, 2010 Author Share Posted March 10, 2010 Thanks for the suggestions guys! Wikipedia (that font of all knowledge & truth!) says Smoke on the water is Dorian??? maybe my theory isn't what it should be but assuming we play the riff in D it contains a Gsharp so how can that be??? Thanks if anyone can explain in idiot proof terms! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
