7 Musical Modes - I.D.P.L.M.A.L.

Date: By

There is a way to create 7 kinds of scales easily just by using one chord.
This method is called the I.D.P.L.M.A.L.
I.D.P.L.M.A.L. refers to:
Ionian(I) Dorian(ii) Phrygian(iii) Lydian(IV) Mixolydian(V) Aeolian(vi) Locrian(vii)
The way to memorize it is:
I Don't Play Like Miles After Lunch
(Miles Davis was an influential musician in the history of the 20th century music)

The way to use this method is to start the scale from a different note. 
For example, if I have a scale which contains only B flat, 
then the one below will be an F Major scale, which starts from F(I):
F - G - A - B flat - C - D - E - F 
this one will be an F Dorian scale, which starts from G(ii):
G - A - B flat - C - D - E - F - G 
and this one will be an F Mixolydian scale, which starts from C(V):
C - D - E - F - G - A - B flat - C

 By using the 7 musical modes, you will be able to create different kinds of sounds by using the same chord.

Ancient Architectural Style & Sketchup Practice

By Date:
Today in history class, I learned some different types of architectural style in different ancient time periods -- Ancient Rome, Ancient Greece, and Ancient Egypt.

So, I started up by doing some research with the style of those types of ancient buildings, and this is what I got: Ancient Rome Style: made of stone, arches, pillars, and domes. Ancient Greece Style:   made of columns, door and window openings. Ancient Egypt Style: made of sun-baked mud brick or stone, post and lintel structure.
