Modern jazz composition often involves the juxtaposition of modes from different keys. This approach allows composers and improvisers to create unique and colorful harmonic landscapes, often pushing the boundaries of traditional tonality.
Students are encouraged to explore each mode extensively. This can involve experimenting with different melodic patterns, intervals, and rhythmic ideas within each mode. This helps internalize the sound and shape of each mode while also developing improvisational skills. Students can start with simple melodies and gradually add complexity as they become more comfortable with each mode.

Modes of C melodic minor shown in an unmusical order:
-
What do the triangle and the plus indicate?
-
-
I don't understand how one is musical, it's a bunch of F chords...
-

Chords shown have:
triangle
triangle before a #4
triangle before a #5
triangle before a +5
triangle before a 7
Maj before a 7
minus sign before a triangle
minus sign before a Maj 7
Those two pages are from the same book?

Perhaps but..it is addressed to a piano framework--and Chick Corea at that..
It didn't do anything for me..again.the chord names of the modes vs the scales to play over them..I think a recent 400+post thread dealt with some of this stuff.
I think Levin has said..and I agree..all the chords are the same in MM..and of course it can be confusing

These are standard Jamey Aebersold chord symbols. Take a look at this:

Thanks,
He's chord scaling so his chord symbols are really chord/scale symbols (extra stuff enough to identify the scale), but he writes he's for removing thoughts from the written page and expressing what is being heard in the mind.
I totally agree with that; I've never used a lead sheet in my life.

Pleasantly surprised at the Katana 50 for a clean...
