Which modes are included in the string mnemonic "I Don't Particularly Like Modes A Lot"?

The string mnemonic "I Don't Particularly Like Modes A Lot" is designed to help remember the seven musical modes derived from the diatonic scale. Each word in the mnemonic corresponds to one of the modes in the order they appear.

Breaking it down:

• "I" stands for Ionian,

• "Don't" stands for Dorian,

• "Particularly" stands for Phrygian,

• "Like" stands for Lydian,

• "Modes" stands for Mixolydian,

• "A" stands for Aeolian,

• "Lot" stands for Locrian.

Since the mnemonic covers all seven modes of the diatonic scale, recognizing that the answer choice indicating all of these modes is correct is key. Each of the modes mentioned in the answer choices—Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian—is indeed included in this mnemonic. Thus, the answer indicating that all modes are part of the mnemonic is validated by the comprehensive nature of the mnemonic itself.

In summary, the choice that states "All of the above" is accurate as it encompasses every mode represented in the mnemonic.
