Modes in C Ionian

Below are the modes. The modes are useful for many things and is used in lots of western music. As has been discussed before, the modes are 7 intervals out of the 12 total tones in the diatonic scale. If there are 7 modes in a set order, then you could start the stop the scale in seven different ways.

As will be discussed further in the actual videos the modes is nothing more than a list of 7 in 7 different orders. Playing the modes will help you discover what scale sounds good with what chords, and what chords might sound good together. The modes provides a useful approach and introduction to music and one approach to playing. As we will see in section 3 which integrates harmonic and melodic modifications to the modes, a different approach to to music.

Any feedback on these visuals is appreciated. The octive highlighted is always the C, do you think it would be better if 1 was always highlighted, so in D Dorian instead of C being highlighted, D would be?
