The modes are a system of scales and chords dating back to Pythagoras of ancient Greece. They were heavily in use for a period of church music known as Gregorian Chant. They have also influenced the music of many diverse Western cultures.
Mastering the modes is an outstanding way to expand your concept of harmonic and melodic tonality. Key writing and improvising are important but limited. Modes provide a way of creating "shades" of major and minor keys. Once learned, modes will give you powerful new insights into the possibility of creativity.
