In preparation for some upcoming breakdowns, we decided to devote an episode to one of the most important fundamentals of music theory, the scale. On this episode, we discuss what a scale actually is, how they can be shifted to create different modes, and explore some lesser-known scales used primarily by twentieth-century composers. This episode is a little more technical than our normal episodes, but have no fear! We still break everything down as we always do, and no prior knowledge is needed.
