Dorian Scale
The Dorian Scale is a musical scale that is often used in jazz, blues, and rock music. It is the second mode of the Major Scale and is characterized by a specific pattern of whole and half steps. The scale can be constructed by starting on the second note of a Major Scale and following the sequence of whole and half steps: whole, half, whole, whole, whole, half, whole.
In the Dorian Scale, the unique interval structure gives it a minor quality with a raised sixth note, which distinguishes it from the natural minor scale. This raised sixth creates a more uplifting sound, making the Dorian Scale popular for improvisation and composition in various musical genres.
