There are several types: Tonal (In a key): This can be a major or minor key. Modal (In a mode) Atonal: No key, no tonic note. There are various other more complex types like twelve tonality, whole tonality and polytonality, but these are the main three types.
When it is indicated in the music. There is no special time and no speciall occasion. However, the minor tonality is sometimes associated with 'spooky' 'sad' songs and certain cultures use it more than the major tonality. There are 3 forms of the minor scale: Natural, Melodic and Harmonic. If you are playing classical music, then the harmonic minor scale is actually rarely used. In classical music, the melodic minor scale is favored. If you are playing jazz or any other type of music, a good time to use it is on top of a V7/Vi chord (using the third in the chord as the leading tone, a vi chord using the tonic of the chord as the starting point of the scale or any dominant chord in a minor mode. There are tons of places to use the harmonic minor scale. Just experiment with it as much as possible. You'll find for yourself stuff that works and stuff that doesn't. Both will be very obvious. Hope that helps! 1234567#8
