To change a major scale to a natural minor scale, lower the 3rd, 6th, and 7th scale degrees.
The primary difference between a major and minor scale is in the positioning of the tones and semitones that make up the scale. Both scales have eight notes. In the standard harmonic minor scale, the semitones occur between the 2nd and 3rd notes of the scale, whilst in the major scale, the semitones occur between the 3rd and 4th notes, and the 7th and 8th notes.
To modulate from F major to E minor, you can use a pivot chord that is common to both keys. One effective pivot chord is D minor (the vi chord in F major and the ii chord in E minor). You can introduce this chord in a passage that emphasizes the F major tonality and then transition to E minor by using the D minor as a bridge. Following this, you can resolve to E minor by emphasizing the E minor tonic and incorporating chords from the E minor scale.
The minor scale that has B flat as its submediant is the D minor scale. In the D minor scale, the notes are D, E, F, G, A, B flat, and C, making B flat the sixth note, or submediant, of the scale.
The key signature is the same, but in the D minor scale, the notes that you play may not necessarily depend only on the key signatures. It will also depend on whether you are playing the melodic or harmonic minor scale.

The B minor scale has two flats. Specifically, it includes the notes B, C#, D, E, F#, G, and A, with its relative key, D major, having two sharps instead. In the natural minor form, B minor incorporates the same two flats as its harmonic and melodic variations.
A Major/Minor scale.
scale
A minor scale begins on the sixth step of its relative major scale. For example, the A minor scale is the relative minor of C major, and it starts on the sixth degree of the C major scale. This relationship allows the minor scale to share the same key signature as its relative major scale.
In a typical diatonic scale, the sequence of chords is major, minor, minor, major, major, minor, and diminished.
(X) Minor Scale = 3 semitones below (Y) Major Scale E.G. C Minor = E♭ Major
The major key of the C major scale is C major, and the relative minor key is A minor.
"That would be A minor. Go a minor third below the tonic of the major scale to find the relative minor." Technically, there is no relative harmonic major to the key of C Major. The relative minor scale of C Major would the natural minor scale of A. A harmonic minor scale raises the 7th note of the scale a half step, giving us G#, which is not in the key of C Major.
F Major has a relative minor scale of D Minor.
A major scale and its relative minor scale share the same key signature.
To find the minor scale from a major scale, you can start on the sixth note of the major scale. This note becomes the first note of the minor scale. Then, follow the same pattern of whole and half steps as the major scale, but starting from the new first note. This will give you the natural minor scale.
The C major scale and its relative minor, the A minor scale. C Major.
A minor scale shares the same key signature as its relative major scale.
