Quartal Voicings (Dorian) – mDecks Music
Learn how to build and apply quartal voicings over a Dorian minor 7 framework with step‑by‑step playing and practice patterns.
This lesson teaches quartal (fourth‑based) voicings applied to the C Dorian sound, demonstrating how to construct 2+3 five‑note voicings where the bottom four notes are perfect fourths and the top adds a triadic third. It explains which scale degrees produce usable quartal stacks, why certain tritone combinations are best avoided, and how these voicings function in a modal context. A three‑step practice routine walks you from parallel movement to mode‑specific rhythmic patterns and a sequenced circle‑of‑fifths exercise, with advice on preparing the larger fourth leap. Members receive a downloadable PDF exercise to accompany the lesson.
