The 6th and 7th scale degrees are raised when ascending and lowered when descending. To use C minor as an example, the notes would be C D Eb F G A B C Bb Ab G F Eb D C.
When ascending, the melodic minor scale has a raised 6th and 7th scale degree, but those two notes are lowered when descending.
In B harmonic Minor, you lower the third and sixth scale degree from the B major scale. So your notes will be B, C#, D, E, F#, G, A#, B There are three forms of minor: Harmonic, Melodic, and Natural.
The harmonic minor scale has the 7th note of the natural minor scale raised. The melodic minor scale has the 6th and 7th notes of the natural minor scale raised and then lowered. e.g. A natural minor: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, A A harmonic minor: A, B, C, D, E, F, G#, A A melodic minor: A, B, C, D, E, F#, G#, A, G, F, E, D, C, B, A
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.
There are a few types of scales for EACH key: major natural minor harmonic minor melodic minor The major is the one that you typically learn first, natural minor next, etc. The harmonic minor scale is a scale that is similar to the natural minor, only the 7th tone is raised by a half step. For the melodic, it is similar to the harmonic only its 6th tone is ALSO raised. NOTE: when you are coming down on a melodic scale, play the natural minor scale for that key. There are as many of each type of scale as there are scales, which, in total is 48. Including all of the 4 types listed above.
When descending the melodic minor scale, you should play the natural minor scale, which means lowering the 6th and 7th notes compared to the ascending melodic minor scale.
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.
When ascending, the melodic minor scale has a raised 6th and 7th scale degree, but those two notes are lowered when descending.
The harmonic minor scale differs from the melodic minor scale by only one note. In the harmonic minor scale, the seventh note is raised by a half step compared to the natural minor scale, while the melodic minor scale raises both the sixth and seventh notes when ascending but reverts to the natural minor scale when descending.
The melodic minor scale differs from the natural minor scale by raising the sixth and seventh notes when ascending, creating a more unique and exotic sound. This alteration gives the melodic minor scale a brighter and more uplifting quality compared to the natural minor scale, which has a more traditional and somber sound.
The natural minor scale has a flat third, sixth, and seventh compared to the major scale. The melodic minor scale raises the sixth and seventh notes when ascending but uses the natural minor scale when descending. The harmonic minor scale raises the seventh note compared to the natural minor 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.
A melodic minor scale is a minor scale where the sixth and seventh are raised by a half step as the scale ascends; however, the melodic minor scale is played exactly the same as a natural minor scale as it descends.
To play the melodic minor scale ascending on a musical instrument, start with the root note and follow the pattern of whole and half steps specific to the melodic minor scale. This means raising the 6th and 7th notes of the natural minor scale by a half step when going up.
Yes, when the melodic minor scale descends, it is the same as the harmonic minor scale.
In B harmonic Minor, you lower the third and sixth scale degree from the B major scale. So your notes will be B, C#, D, E, F#, G, A#, B There are three forms of minor: Harmonic, Melodic, and Natural.
The harmonic form of the natural minor scale raises the seventh note by a half step to create a stronger resolution to the tonic. The melodic form raises the sixth and seventh notes when ascending, but reverts to the natural minor scale when descending.
