"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.
E minor harmonic scale looks like this : E F# G A B C D# E The major scale for E minor is G major.
A major scale and its relative minor scale share the same key signature.
a harmonic minor
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.
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.
F Major has a relative minor scale of D Minor.
The major key of the C major scale is C major, and the relative minor key is A minor.
A minor scale shares the same key signature as its relative major scale.
E minor harmonic scale looks like this : E F# G A B C D# E The major scale for E minor is G major.
The harmonic minor scale is in the minor mode.
To determine the relative minor of a major key, you can find the sixth note of the major scale. This note is the starting point for the relative minor scale.
A flat minor is the relative minor of B major
A relative major scale begins on the same note as its relative minor scale, but starts on a different degree of the scale.
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.
A major scale and its relative minor scale share the same key signature.
The C major scale and its relative minor, the A minor scale. C Major.
Harmonic Minor - The first minor scale you will learn, uses the accidentals in the key signature with a sharp 7th. Melodic Minor - First half of the scale is minor, the second half is major (ascending). Descending, only the accidentals in the scale are used. Natural Minor - Same notes as the relative major but ending on the first note of the minor scale. Hope this helps.
