Thank you so much for this. I am really interested in Music Theory, and I am trying to compose in D Mixolydian Mode, and this is really helpful. The product of my first phrase, I am quite happy with.
Modes typically don’t harmony that is functional in the way that major and minor are. Instead, they are either used as “color” over a functional progression or rely more on voice leading.

Thank you for the useful lesson 👍 greetings from Darjeeling india ❤️
So glad you liked it!
Very useful video thank you
I found this to be very useful. Thank you. Do these concepts apply more to classical music?

besides maybe the tonic, not really
Awesome!
Thank you - that’s really encouraging
im confused about the cadence use and the functions of subdominant and so because i understand this is tonal music????
Sounds like Scarborough Fair
