spiltmilk_2000 Posted March 10, 2010 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
Major-Minor Posted March 10, 2010 Posted March 10, 2010 "Scarborough Fair" is the best suggestion i have. The Major Quote
nottswarwick Posted March 10, 2010 Posted March 10, 2010 I always use Santana Oye Como Va, A Dorian Quote
spiltmilk_2000 Posted March 10, 2010 Author 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
