Is a mode of Harmonic Minor and Roumaniko and considered a Major Scale; Also called Spanish scale. – D Hijaz = G Harmonic Minor = C Roumaniko – If you start 3 scale degrees forward you get Harmonic Minor. – If you start 1 Scale degree back you get Roumaniko Is Similar to Ussak, Major, Minor, Dorian Scales – D Hijaz ~ D Ussak ~ Bb Major ~ G Minor ~ C Dorian – If you give it a b3^rd you get Ussak – If you give it a b3^rd and then start 2 scale degrees back you get a Major scale – If you give it a b3^rd and then start 1 scale degree back you get a Dorian scale – If you give it a b3^rd and then start 3 scale degree forward you get a Minor scale Is similar to Hijazkiar, Nihavent, and Pireotikos – D Hijaz ~ D Hijazkiar ~ G Nihavent ~ D Pireotikos – If you give it a #7^th you get Hijazkiar – If you give it a #7^th and start 3 scale degrees forward you get Niavent – If you give it a #4^th and #7^th you get Pireotikos Passing Notes – #4 Passing Note is used in ascending sequences & turnarounds #4ð5 or #4ð6ð5 – #6 Passing Note is used in ascending sequences & turnarounds #6ð7 or #6ð8ð7 – #7 Passing Note is used in ascending sequences & turnarounds #7ð8 or #7ð9ð8 – Chord Cadence VIIðI or IIðI – 4^th note is the Dominant

Modulation Suggestions: D Hijaz ð C Roumaniko G Niavent ð D Hijaz ð G Harmonic Minor D Kiurdi (work the Hijaz ajnas) ð D Hijaz D Hijaz ð Bb Major ð D Ussak
Modulation Possibilities: D Hijaz ð G Harmonic Minor ð C Romaniko D Hijaz ð D Ussak ð Bb Major
D Hijaz ð D Hijazkiar ð G Nihavent ð D Pireotikos

In maqam D Hijaz:

1^st note; D is the, the tonic, the home of the maqam, the final landing. 
4^th note; G which creates tension, and is a good note to start the Taqsim, to stretch to or to take off from, the beginning of the upper ajnas.
5^th note; A is a good place to start developing a new idea.  

In a different Maqam you will find different rules. The lower ajnas is the primary part of the maqam and it indicates the type of the maqam. The upper ajnas has the secondary role. When modulating, we are using different jins, keeping some common notes from the original jins while altering others. Hijaz Tetrachord can commonly modulate to Ussak(Kurd) Tetrachord.

When playing a Taqsim, take your time, don't play don't run! Build your Taqsim and think about telling a story. Use Long notes! When you are not sure where you want to go, stay on one note for a while, Breathe and take your time. Use more successive note and less jumps! Stay on the maqam for a while before Modulating. When Modulating to a different Maqam, be clear about the new Maqam.
