C Ionian — Electric Piano

The C Ionian lit key by key — roots pinned, degrees named, audio ready.

C Ionian carries 7 notes per octave (modes family), drawn here straight onto the Electric Piano's keys with every root pinned — no tablature in between, the keyboard is the map.

Bright, resolved, and stable. The foundation of Western tonal music and the most common mode in pop, classical, folk, and jazz.

Heard in: Pop, classical, country, folk, gospel — the default major tonality of Western music.

The Electric Piano answers touch, so practice these maps at more than one dynamic — the pattern is the same, but the hand that plays it soft and loud owns it twice.
