Why do composers write in F sharp minor not G flat minor?
G and A are only one step away from each other while F and A are two. While Gb to A still sounds like a minor third, written on the staff it looks like a second. Also, you can't have the same note letter twice in a scale. If you went up the (natural minor) scale from Gb, the next note would be Ab, then A, thus using the same note letter twice in a scale. Also, in A major, the relative major to F# minor, the sharps are F#, C#, and G#. F# already being in the key signature, it seems more natural to use F# than G.

How many kinds of minor scales are there?
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.

In a harmonic minor scale, only the seventh scale degree is raised and stays the same on the way down.
