What the game is

You get a key and find its Dorian notes on the keyboard. It is natural minor with one raised note, so the game trains your eye for the natural 6 that changes everything.

What it teaches

• The natural 6 that brightens minor.
• Dorian in every key.
• Its home over minor 7th vamps.
