Q: is it really a modulation if you don't change the key ? like if i go from c major to g mixolydian does it really count
A: i say spend more time going to c, g, mixo, anything, any key, spend more time going to these keys rather than thinking about saying words like 'modulation' ........ unless .... you enjoy saying words, like modulation and others, which is actually very enjoyable, in which case make sure to spend time with words/writing also. what the heck, mix it together with music, that's always great too
