Find the Mixolydian Mode on Keyboard

The short answer: Find the Mixolydian drills Mixolydian — the major scale with a flat 7 (1 2 3 4 5 6 ♭7) — across the keys. Points scale with speed. That flat 7 is the dominant, bluesy sound behind rock, funk, and gospel piano.

What the game is

You get a key and find its Mixolydian notes on the keyboard. It is one flat away from major, so the game sharpens your eye for that single lowered 7th in every key.

What it teaches

  • The ♭7 that makes major sound dominant.
  • Mixolydian in every key.
  • Its home over dominant 7th chords.

Why it's cool

Major with an edge — the sound of a thousand grooves and gospel vamps. On the keyboard, feeling that flat 7 in every key is what makes dominant-chord playing come alive.
