In a melodic minor scale, the sixth and seventh degrees are sharpened. In real cases - we have to use the word 'raised' rather than 'sharpened' since sometimes we need to raise the sixth degree of a major scale which is already flat. In Ab minor for example - we use naturals to raise the sixth and seventh degrees ascending since those notes (F and G), are already flatted due to the key signature.

What notes are in the melodic and harmonic 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.
