Learn the white keys from C to C. That's it. All 7 modes (scale patterns) hide inside those same keys. They start on other keys, but those keys are all within the scale of C.
7 modes
1 set of keys
We will start in the key of C, using only the white keys. There are 7 different moods within the key of C, starting on the red key. But every one of them contains the same 7 notes as the key of C.
Your home base: the plain major scale. It contains exactly the same notes as our other 6 scales.
THE NOTES

Happy, bright, resolved
HEAR IT IN
C to C on the white keys. That's the major scale — where everyone starts.
Same white keys, but start on D, E, and so on. Each one has its own mood.
Happy, sad, dreamy — each mode has a mood. Pick a feeling and play.
"With Ionara, you practically only need to learn 1 scale, and where to start."
