The seventh degree is raised by a semitone both ascending and descending.
In a natural minor scale, the half steps occur between the 2nd and 3rd degrees and between the 5th and 6th degrees of the scale. For example, in the key of A natural minor, the half steps occur between B and C, and between E and F.
Natural minor scales do not have raised 7ths as in harmonic minor scales. They don't have raised 6th in ascending scales as in melodic minor scales. Hence the notes are the same for ascending and descending scales: C D Eb F G Ab Bb C.
The natural minor scale with the most sharp notes is E natural minor, which has one sharp note (F#).
There are two sharps in b natural minor: F# and C#
The sixth and seventh degrees are raised a half-step when going up (notice that sometimes when raising a note you'll end up on another white key), like the C-sharp melodic minor scale - where you need to raise B, but most of the time you just play the black key to the right on the way up, and revert to the natural notes on the way down.
The natural minor scale has a flat 7th note, while the harmonic minor scale has a raised 7th note.
The main difference between a minor scale and a harmonic minor scale is that the harmonic minor scale has a raised seventh note compared to the natural minor scale. This alteration creates a unique sound and adds tension to the music.
The harmonic minor scale has a raised seventh note compared to the natural minor scale, giving it a unique sound and creating a stronger sense of tension and resolution in music.
The harmonic minor scale has a raised seventh note compared to the natural minor scale, while the melodic minor scale has both a raised sixth and seventh note when ascending, but reverts to the natural minor scale when descending.
The melodic minor scale differs from the harmonic minor scale in that the melodic minor scale raises the sixth and seventh notes when ascending, but reverts to the natural minor scale when descending. The harmonic minor scale raises only the seventh note.
The natural minor scale has a flat 3rd, 6th, and 7th note compared to the major scale, while the harmonic minor scale has a raised 7th note in addition to the flat 3rd and 6th notes.
The natural minor scale has a flat 6th and 7th note, while the harmonic minor scale has a raised 7th note.
The difference between a melodic minor scale and a harmonic minor scale is that in a melodic minor scale, the sixth and seventh scale degrees are raised on the way up, and on the way down they are the same as they would be in natural minor. In a harmonic minor scale, only the seventh scale degree is raised and stays the same on the way down.
Harmonic minor scale has a raised 7th in both ascending and descending scales. Melodic minor has raised 6th and 7th in ascending scale. It is similar to natural minor in descending scale.
The harmonic minor scale raises the seventh note of the natural minor scale by a half step, while the melodic minor scale raises both the sixth and seventh notes by a half step when ascending, and reverts back to the natural minor scale when descending.
The harmonic minor scale differs from the natural minor scale by raising the seventh note by a half step. This alteration creates a unique sound and allows for different harmonic possibilities in music composition.
The natural minor scale has a flat 3rd, 6th, and 7th note compared to the major scale, while the harmonic minor scale has a raised 7th note.
