A mode is an old time word for "mood". The mood is referring to the feeling created from stressing one of the seven chosen notes of the key that you are in. One way to stress any one of the seven chosen notes is to begin on that note, then linearly play each note until you repeat the same note again in a higher register. These scales that are considered to be in a particular mode were given names taken from Greek "hot hang out" places at the time of Pythagoras, who discovered Western music. He named the 7 musical "colors": Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian, and Locrian. Fortunately we can just number the scales instead of using the Greek names. LOL A lot of folks think that those names are technical terms. Don't tell them..... lol jk
Modes can be linear scales, chord progressions, or any kind of a structure that suggests a subkey by stressing a particular musical "color" or musical mood.
Here's a video on how to begin using modes to compensate for very quick key changes, without wasting years of effort creating mental constructs to compensate for the fact that the piano is not a movable pattern instrument......
