Pretty pink ! And thank you for Nidoran 3 <| sep |> Looks like an awful case of diarrhea . <| sep |> All agreed . The issue is not with musicians like that , who know what modes mean . It ' s with beginners who are confused between relative and parallel , and think that songs in major or minor keys contain several modes one for each chord and have been persuaded they actually need to know about modes before they understand what keys are . I was only really trying to answer the overoptimistic question why don ' t we change the perception , and seem to have got sidetracked into talking about keynotes . my bad <| sep |> To add to this . Consider getting an activity or a part time job in the evening that requires a commitment on your part . Something you can ' t get out of . This would give you a plausible reason for having to leave your work at a set time so might be slightly less confrontational .
