I seem to be getting errors when I try to post, so I am going to recommend a resource.
There is a "module" (open textbook) on the CNX org website that addresses modes and ragas. Regrettably I can not give you the address, but the author is Catherine Schmidt-Jones and the site has a search feature.
- The sound of each scale or mode results from its pattern of intervals. Major starts on tonic and then goes up a whole tone, another whole tone, a semitone, etc. (WWs W WWs).
@bassplayermusic91 Hi, and thanks for the questions. I made this visual aid for a review class. I am glad it was helpful.
- Parallel keys have the same tonic or home note. A major and A minor are parallel. (Notice that other very stable, structurally important notes, like the fifth note of the scale, are also the same.)
- Yes, A minor and C major are relative keys. Keys that use the same notes, the same "family members" in their key signatures, are relatives.
So, A majors parallel minor is A minor. Can this 'A minor scale' be called the relative minor to C major?
Also, I know relative minor scales have modes of there own, eg, I = Aeolian, II = Locrian and so on... Do these same shapes (of the relative minor modes) apply and are the same as you would put on the parallel minor modes?
Sorry if this is confusing, but I can't think of any other way to simplify it, thanks!

Hey, nice video!
Can you please explain something to me?
