1. Start on any note on the piano. This note is what will serve as the 'tonic' or the 'starting note'.

2. At this point, the minor scale can be defined on where you place whole steps and half steps. w=whole h=half

Now starting with the 'tonic' go up in this way: up a whole, up a whole, up a half, up a whole, up a whole, up a half, up a whole, up a whole. so the formula for any minor scale is...

wwhwwhww

You can start on any note you'd like. To perform the minor scale, just follow the formula above!

Where is C-Sharp Minor on a piano?

There is no such thing as a C sharp minor on a piano. C sharp minor refers to a key signature or tonal center, not a singular note. Remember, the individual notes in music mean nothing until they are made relative to each other by the scale or chords used. Right but also the C# minor scale (C#m) means take the C# scale and flat the third note in the scale progression. The third note here is E# (E Sharp). Start by counting the first note of the scale, it is called the root, in this case C#. So, C#, D#, then E#. The chord is the usually the first (root), 3rd and fifth notes of the scale progression. In a minor key/scale you flat the 3rd note of the scale/chord. So here the E# is flatted to be natural E. The chord C# minor (C#m) consists of the notes C#, E and G#. Have fun.

What are 6 flats in music?

In music, six flats refer to a key signature that contains six flat notes. This key signature is associated with the keys of E-flat major and C minor. The six flat notes are B-flat, E-flat, A-flat, D-flat, G-flat, and C-flat. These flats alter the corresponding natural notes in the scale, affecting the harmony and melody of compositions in these keys.


What is difference between a flat and a minor on the keyboard?

A flat is the note that is a half step down from the note with the flat sign. A minor is the name of a type of scale, which is the scale starting with the minor note it's named after. For example, the B minor scale would start with B minor, as opposed to starting with C (the first note of the common C major scale).
