WMO-03 Chords in Phrygian Mode

About this worksheet

This worksheet will teach your student how to figure out what chords fit within the Phrygian mode. They will learn how to harmonize each scale degree using both diatonic triads as well as seventh chords.

If the student understands the intervals and chords used in the mode they will find it easier to apply the mode.

It's recommended you give your student an in-depth lesson on Phrygian before giving this worksheet. SCA-06 provides a handy reference sheet on the Phrygian mode and is a good starting point.

This worksheet will help your student:

  • Understand the Phrygian mode
  • Learn to harmonize the mode
  • Understand the chords used in the mode
  • Figure out diatonic triads and seventh chords

As Phrygian is the third mode, it's worth teaching your student about Ionian and Dorian first. These resources can be accessed in the Lesson Materials Section.

About this worksheet

This worksheet will teach your student how to figure out chords that fit within the Dorian mode. Once your student can easily answer the exercises they will gain a better understanding of the mode and how to apply it.

For example: the diatonic triad built on the third degree of D Dorian is F Major and uses the notes F, A & C. With this level of understanding the student will be able to easily apply the mode in their improvising as they will understand which chords the mode will work with as well as any target tones to work with.

This worksheet will help your student:

  • Understand the Dorian mode
  • Learn to figure out diatonic triads and seventh chords
  • Gain confidence in applying the Dorian mode

Before giving this worksheet to your student, give them WMO-01 which focuses on the Ionian mode.
