Nice scales, please don't let down!
You could maybe put some banner on the right side instead of having them in every entry... Anyway it's your blog, thanks!

If you want to see the Dorian mode in action, listen to Pachelbel's Canon in D-major or Robert de Visee's Prelude in D-minor for lute or guitar. In both songs, you start in D-dorian but end up in either D-major (the Canon) or D-minor (the Prelude). Since II-V-I progressions are part and parcel of jazz, you will need to learn this mode. The problem that every soloist has to overcome, however, is that this mode resolves tends to itself in either a major or minor key. I say "tends to" because we think in terms of major or minor; other cultures do not.
