What is the key signature for the harmonic scale for a clarinet?
The key signature for the harmonic minor scale changes depending on what key you are playing the scale in. For example, if you were to play a C harmonic minor you would play C minor (Bb, Eb, Ab) but sharp the seventh of the note (in this case, the Bb to B natural). This is just adding the leading tone into the scale. So, just to recap, play the minor version of the scale but add a sharped 7th. Now you have a harmonic minor.
In a minor scale the seventh note must always be?
