The Dorian scale is the second mode in a group of seven musical modes. It has a smooth, cool sound — not as bright as the major scale, but not as sad as the minor scale. It feels calm and a little jazzy or mysterious. For example, if you play the white keys on a piano from D to D, you’re playing the D Dorian scale. | Steve Perkins Studio LLC | Facebook
