Melodic Minor
In a melodic minor scale, the 6th and 7th degree of the scale is raised up 1 half step on the way up the scale. On the way back down the scale, the 6th and 7th are back down to the natural form of the minor.
Each major key has a relative minor key and vice versa. For example a key signature with one sharp can refer to either the G major or the e minor keys. For major keys there is only one scale type. For minor keys there are 3: pure, harmonic, and melodic. In pure(natural) minor none of the scale degrees are altered. In harmonic minor the seventh scale degree is raised half a step. In melodic minor the seventh and the sixth scale degrees are raised half a step, ascending and returned to their pure minor descending.
Bb Harmonic Minor has 4 flats, since in the harmonic version of the scale the A flat (7th degree) is raised to A natural.

The D minor scale for violin consists of the notes D, E, F, G, A, B♭, and C. In this scale, the B is flattened, making it a B♭. There are no sharps in the natural D minor scale, but if you were to play the harmonic or melodic variations, they may include raised notes, specifically C♯ in the harmonic form.
pure (natural), harmonic, and melodic pure minor-none of the scale degrees are altered harmonic minor-7th scale degree raised a half step melodic minor- 6th and 7th scale degrees raised ascending and pure minor descending
The natural minor scale has a flat 3rd, 6th, and 7th compared to the major scale. The harmonic minor scale has a raised 7th compared to the natural minor scale. The melodic minor scale has a raised 6th and 7th when ascending, but reverts to the natural minor scale when descending.
The difference between a melodic minor scale and a harmonic minor scale is that in a melodic minor scale, the sixth and seventh scale degrees are raised on the way up, and on the way down they are the same as they would be in natural minor. In a harmonic minor scale, only the seventh scale degree is raised and stays the same on the way down.
The natural minor scale has a flat 3rd, 6th, and 7th note compared to the major scale. The harmonic minor scale has a raised 7th note compared to the natural minor scale. The melodic minor scale has a raised 6th and 7th note when ascending, but uses the natural minor scale when descending.
The natural minor scale has a flat 7th note, while the harmonic minor scale has a raised 7th note.
The harmonic minor scale has a raised seventh note compared to the natural minor scale, while the melodic minor scale has both a raised sixth and seventh note when ascending, but reverts to the natural minor scale when descending.
6th and 7th are sharped.
The harmonic minor scale has a raised seventh note compared to the natural minor scale, while the melodic minor scale has both a raised sixth and seventh note when ascending, but reverts to the natural minor scale when descending.
The natural harmonic minor scale is a minor scale with a raised 7th note, while the melodic minor scale has both a raised 6th and 7th note when ascending. The two scales are related because the melodic minor scale is derived from the natural harmonic minor scale.
In a melodic minor scale, the 6th and 7th degree of the scale is raised up 1 half step on the way up the scale. On the way back down the scale, the 6th and 7th are back down to the natural form of the minor.
To turn a major scale to natural minor, lower the third, sixth, and seventh scale tones a half step. To create a natural minor scale from scratch, it is: whole step, half step, whole step, whole step, half step, whole step, whole step. A harmonic minor scale has a seventh raised by a half step above a natural minor scale. A melodic minor scale has a sixth and a seventh raised by a half step above a natural minor scale.
The natural minor scale has a flat 6th and 7th note, while the harmonic minor scale has a raised 7th note.
