| Some of the more common modes |
| Below are some of the common modes used in "Eastern Arabic Music", i.e. the Levant and surrounding countries. These modes were copied from the Solfeggio book used by the Lebanese national conservatory, which is a great book that I recommend for anyone who is interested in training their ear to the subtelties of the music. (the author is Antoun G. Farah). |

The Sikah
The Hizam
The Hijaz
