Keen to know, how you can memorize the signatures to all modes:
Two approaches to figuring out all modes in all 12 keys
1) Thinking relative scales:
This is the system taught in music schools.
When you use this approach, you count back a number of scale degree steps to the relative major scale.
Then you figure out the key signature to that major scale. This tells you what the notes are that you are looking for in the mode relative to that major scale.
This approach is mostly “scale degree” driven.
Conclusion:
E Phrygian consists of all white keys of the piano: no sharps or flats.
2) Thinking parallel scales.
Parallel scales are scales that start on the same starting note: E major scale, E minor scale, E Phrygian, E Mixolydian, E Locrian, etc..
The parallel scale approach to figuring out what the notes are in a mode, is less tedious than the system of counting scale steps to the relative major scale.
