| Mar 16, 2020 at 22:52 | comment | added | William Curtis | Thanks Richard that where my confusion came from. I have heard of terachords before but thats about where my knowledge of them stops. I felt that modes had to derive from somthing I just had no clue as to where or what from. Also thank you Albrecht for your answer youve given me what I need to further my research and continue to refine my understanding. | |
| Mar 16, 2020 at 21:46 | comment | added | Richard | @WilliamCurtis Exactly. Since "the modal system was around for many years before the major and minor scales were even thought of," the modes were not based on a scale; they preceded the concept of scale. | |

| Mar 16, 2020 at 19:24 | comment | added | William Curtis | All the modern modes iv learned about were derived from the diatonic scale and im told the modes came before the major and minor scales because we got those scales from the modern modes. So im wondering if thats the case were the first modes derived from a scale or am I missing somthing big? | |
| Mar 16, 2020 at 19:04 | comment | added | Richard | I think your starting point may be flawed; is there a reason you think the modes had to come from a scale? | |
