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. Having this understanding of the Phrygian mode will help your student use the mode in their improvising later on. 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 lesson

Phrygian is the third of seven modes. It's recommended you teach the modes in order as it will make more sense to your student. After your student understands Ionian and Dorian (see related lessons) you can move on to Phrygian. This is a very exotic sounding mode and students will love it when they can improvise using it. Phrygian is used a lot in Flamenco so any students wanting to get a Spanish sound in their playing can learn this.
