To determine the relative minor of a major key, you can count down three half steps from the major key's root note. For example, the relative minor of C major is A minor. To find the relative major of a minor key, you can count up three half steps from the minor key's root note.

What is the relationship between the circle of fifths and minor scales?

The circle of fifths shows the relationship between major and minor scales. Each key on the circle has a relative minor key that is located three positions clockwise. This means that the circle of fifths can help identify the relative minor key of a major key and vice versa.


Is there an online major to minor converter available?

Yes, there are online tools available that can convert major keys to minor keys and vice versa.


What is the difference between a minor and major key?

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.


What is the easiest way to change a minor key to a major key?

You notes in the A minor chord are A, C, and E. Simply transpose your C one step higher to a C#, and you have an A major! Most chords are easily transposed from major to minor, or visa versa, with a transposition of one note. However, this is for the piano, you didn't specify which instrument =)


Why can you not look a a key signature to tell us if a piece is in a minor key?

Each key signature represents two possible keys. Each of the major keys has a relative minor key and vice versa. A key signature with one (F) sharp could either be G major or E minor. If the minor and major scales bear the same key signature, they are called related scales. In this case, G major is the relative of E minor. Here is what you should look for to determine if a piece is in minor: Starting and Ending pitches/chords- pieces and minor usually but not always start and end on do and the tonic (I) chord of the scale Raised seventh scale degree (ti instead of te)- In the harmonic and melodic minor scales the seventh scale degree is raised a half a step (but in melodic minor it has a raised sixth as well on the way ascending, but follows pure minor, descending. To tell if a note is part of the ascending or descending scale look at the following note: if it is higher the note is part of the ascending scale- if it is lower, the note is part of the descending scale.) The raised seventh or sixth never appears on the key signature. Also, bear in mind that the related scales in question are only three notes apart. For example, you know the key signature of G major, but not that of E minor. So you count three notes down, thus, G, F, then E, now you know two things about E minor. One, its key signature id F sharp, and two, it is a relative of G major. To get to the major scale, always count upwards. To get to the minor scale, count downwards. I reckon that might have been a little confusing.


What scale has A flat and C sharp?

Technically, none. If a scale has sharps then it won't have flats and vice-versa. But, in this case it's a matter of semantics: A flat is the same as G sharp and there are several scales that have both G sharp and C sharp - for example, D major, A major, E major, B major, F# major, C# major, G# major, B minor, F# minor, C# minor, G# minor - and then there are the other 5 modes besides major and minor. As well, C# is the same as D flat. D flat and A flat are also found in several scales.


How do you determine music major scale?

look for any accidenatls in the scale. If there are no accidentals, then it's a major scale, vise versa. All the sharps and flats should be included in the key signature of the scale.

Does relative clause always introduce by a relative pronoun?

Vice versa: a relative pronoun (which, that, who, whom, whose) introduces a relative clause.A relative clause can also be introduced by a relative adverb (where, when, why), or a zero relative sometimes called contact clauses (the relative clause directly follows the noun to which it relates with no introductory word).Examplesrelative pronoun: The man who called left a message for you.relative adverb: The place where I bought the carhad many to choose from.zero relative: The movie we saw was 'A Wonderful Life'.


What is an 'A Instrument'?

An instrument tuned to the key of A. For example: If you play Concert C major, you will actually have to play at E major, to make it sound like C major. Vice versa, if you play at C major, it will sound like Concert A major instead.
