The E-flat harmonic minor scale is derived from the E-flat natural minor scale by raising the seventh degree, which is D-flat, to D natural. This alteration creates a leading tone that enhances the resolution to the tonic, E-flat. The E-flat harmonic minor scale consists of the notes E-flat, F, G-flat, A-flat, B-flat, C-flat, and D natural. This scale is often used in classical and Jazz Music to create a distinct sound with its characteristic augmented second interval between the sixth and seventh degrees.
D flat
The B-flat major scale contains two flats: B-flat and E-flat. However, if you're looking for a scale that has only one B-flat, it would be the G minor scale, which is the relative minor of B-flat major. In G minor, the B-flat appears as the sixth scale degree, while the scale itself includes B-flat as part of its harmonic and melodic variations.
The notes in a G harmonic minor scale are: G A B flat C D E Flat F# G

"Harmonic" is a type of minor scale. It includes the flat-third, flat-sixth and raised 7th. The raised 7th is really what gives it the "harmonic" feel. For example, C-D-Eflat-F-G-Aflat-Bnatural-C.
The relative major to C minor is E-flat major.
F major and its relative harmonic minor, D minor, have only b flat.
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 3rd, 6th, and 7th note compared to the major scale, while the harmonic minor scale has a raised 7th note.
D flat
The tonic minor (or parallel minor) of a flat major is a flat minor.
The natural minor scale has a flat 6th and 7th note, while the harmonic minor scale has a raised 7th note.
The natural minor scale has a flat 7th note, while the harmonic minor scale has a raised 7th note.
The natural minor scale has a flat 3rd, 6th, and 7th compared to the major scale. The harmonic minor scale has a raised 7th compared to the natural minor scale. The melodic minor scale has a raised 6th and 7th when ascending, but reverts to the natural minor scale when descending.
The B-flat major scale contains two flats: B-flat and E-flat. However, if you're looking for a scale that has only one B-flat, it would be the G minor scale, which is the relative minor of B-flat major. In G minor, the B-flat appears as the sixth scale degree, while the scale itself includes B-flat as part of its harmonic and melodic variations.
The natural minor scale has a flat 3rd, 6th, and 7th note compared to the major scale. The harmonic minor scale has a raised 7th note compared to the natural minor scale. The melodic minor scale has a raised 6th and 7th note when ascending, but uses the natural minor scale when descending.
The natural, harmonic, and melodic minor scales are related in music theory by sharing the same key signature but having different patterns of whole and half steps. The natural minor scale has a flat 3rd, 6th, and 7th compared to the major scale. The harmonic minor scale raises the 7th note to create a leading tone, while the melodic minor scale raises the 6th and 7th notes when ascending but reverts to the natural minor scale when descending.
