1. Start on any note on the piano. This note is what will serve as the 'tonic' or the 'starting note'.
2. At this point, the minor scale can be defined on where you place whole steps and half steps. w=whole h=half
Now starting with the 'tonic' go up in this way: up a whole, up a whole, up a half, up a whole, up a whole, up a half, up a whole, up a whole. so the formula for any minor scale is...
wwhwwhww
You can start on any note you'd like. To perform the minor scale, just follow the formula above!

∙ 14y agoThe Ionian scale follows the pattern WWHWWWH, begin any scale from another note and you are playing a different "mode". For example, if you play WHWWWHW (Ionian beginning on second note) you are playing the Dorian scale. The order goes (I) Ionian, (II) Dorian, (III) Phyrgian, (IV) Lydian, (V) Mixolidian, (VI) Aeolian, (VII) Locrian. The Locrian scale is called a diminished scale because it contains a flat third and a flat fifth relative to it's Ionian. The Ionian, Lydian, and Mixolydian are major scales. The Dorian, Phrygian, and Aeolian are minor because they contain a flat third.

∙ 13y agoThere are several minor scales, but I'll assume you mean the natural minor scale. A minor scale can be built on any of the twelve notes, and the note names are the same on any instrument. Instruments in different keys (Flute in C, Alto sax in Eb, etc) have to play different scales to sound in unison. Some examples of natural minor scales are:
C minor is C, D, Eb, F, G, Ab, Bb, C
A minor is A, B, C, D, E, F, G, A
G minor is G, A, Bb, C, D, Eb, F, G
F# minor is F#, G#, A, B, C#, D, E, F#

What musical scale is neither major or minor?
The scale of 'C' - it uses neither sharp or flat notes.
Where is C-Sharp Minor on a piano?
There is no such thing as a C sharp minor on a piano. C sharp minor refers to a key signature or tonal center, not a singular note. Remember, the individual notes in music mean nothing until they are made relative to each other by the scale or chords used. Right but also the C# minor scale (C#m) means take the C# scale and flat the third note in the scale progression. The third note here is E# (E Sharp). Start by counting the first note of the scale, it is called the root, in this case C#. So, C#, D#, then E#. The chord is the usually the first (root), 3rd and fifth notes of the scale progression. In a minor key/scale you flat the 3rd note of the scale/chord. So here the E# is flatted to be natural E. The chord C# minor (C#m) consists of the notes C#, E and G#. Have fun.
What notes are in a Db harmonic minor scale?
Db minor is a theoretical scale, since the submediant degree of the scale contains a double-flat (Bbb), so it is more commonly referred to as C♯ minor. The notes for both scales are as follows: Db, Eb, Fb, Gb, Ab, Bbb, C natural, Db or C♯, D♯, E, F♯, G♯, A, B♯ (C), C♯.
What is difference between a flat and a minor on the keyboard?
A flat is the note that is a half step down from the note with the flat sign. A minor is the name of a type of scale, which is the scale starting with the minor note it's named after. For example, the B minor scale would start with B minor, as opposed to starting with C (the first note of the common C major scale).
What are the notes in d flat natural minor scale?
UP: d sharp e sharp f sharp g sharp a sharp b sharp c double-sharp d sharp DOWN: d sharp c sharp b natural a sharp g sharp f sharp e sharp d sharp
Which scale does not require sharp or flat notes?
The C major scale and its relative minor, the A minor scale. C Major.
What are the active tones in the c natural minor scale?
C, E-flat, G and B-flat - which are the notes in a C minor seventh.
What are the notes in a G harmonic scale?
The notes in a G harmonic minor scale are: G A B flat C D E Flat F# G
What musical scale is neither major or minor?
The scale of 'C' - it uses neither sharp or flat notes.
What are the notes in d minor scale?
The notes of the D harmonic minor scale are D, E, F, G, A, B flat, C#, D.
What is a major and minor?
A minor scale is the same as its major scale with the third and the seventh notes "flatted" or lowered half a step. For example, the key of C has the notes C D E F G A B C in C minor the E is changed to E-flat and the B is B-flat
What are the notes in A flat minor scale?
A flat, B flat, C flat, D flat, E flat, F flat, G natural
What are the notes in a D minor scale?
D E F G A B flat C D
What are the notes to g flat minor scale?
G flat, A flat, B flat flat, C flat, D flat, E flat, F natural and G flat.
What are the notes of a c minor?
C minor is C D E-flat F G A-flat B-flat C.
What flats are in A flat minor?
There are no flats or sharps. Its relative major scale is C major, which has all of the same notes.
What are the differences between C Major and C Minor?
The key of C Major consists of these notes: C, D, E, F, G, A and B.The key of C Harmonic Minor consists of these notes: C, D, E-flat, F, G, A-flat and B.The key of C Melodic Minor consists of these notes: C, B-flat, A-flat, G, F, E-flat and D. However, when played ascending as a scale, the sixth (A-flat) and seventh (B-flat) notes/degrees would be sharped, leaving us with B and A. On the way back down they are restored to A-flat and B-flat.
