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.

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.

What is the easiest way to change a minor key to a major key?

You notes in the A minor chord are A, C, and E. Simply transpose your C one step higher to a C#, and you have an A major! Most chords are easily transposed from major to minor, or visa versa, with a transposition of one note. However, this is for the piano, you didn't specify which instrument =)
