Flatten the third and seventh notes in the scale. Therefore, if you're in the key of A major the notes are A, B, C#, D, E, F#, G#, A. Therefore, flattening the 3 and 7, you end up with A, B, C, D, E, F, G, A.
By the way, Am is the relative minor of the key of Cmajor, which has no sharps or flats.
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.
A Major/Minor scale.
A flat minor is the relative minor of B major
I'm not sure if this is the answer your looking for, but by playing a scale, starting on the sixth degree in a major scale (also called aeolian mode), you will essentially be playing a natural minor scale. Specifically, the relative minor.
A diatonic scale is simply a regular major or minor scale.
To make a scale minor, you can lower the 3rd, 6th, and 7th notes of the major scale by a half step. This will give the scale a minor sound.
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.
F Major has a relative minor scale of D 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.
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.
Simply a minor scale
