Dorian Mode Piano Chords

Chords built from the Dorian mode include minor triads on the i, ii, and v degrees, major triads on the III, IV, and VII degrees, and a diminished triad on the vi degree. The characteristic i-IV progression highlights the raised sixth that distinguishes Dorian harmony from natural minor, creating a brighter, jazzier chord palette favored in funk, soul, and modal jazz.
