- The natural minor scale is derived from the major scale by starting on the sixth degree of the major scale and following the same sequence of notes. For example, the A natural minor scale is derived from the C major scale, consisting of the notes A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and returning to A.

We tend to say that major scales have a ‘happier’ and ‘cheerier’ sound, whereas minor scales have a ‘darker’ and ‘sadder’ sound. Minor scales have a different formula of tones and semitones (whole steps and half steps)to major scales. The main difference is that all minor scales have the third note of the scale ‘flattened’. By flattened, I mean tha...
Unlike major scales, where there is only one type to know about, minor scales have three variations. The three types of minor scales that we’ll look at are: 1. The natural minor scale 2. The harmonic minor scale 3. The melodic minor scale All three of these minor scales start the same but have some slight differences after that. Side note: Melodic ...

Specifically, while the major scale has a major third interval between its first and third degrees, the natural minor features a minor third interval, contributing to its more melancholic tonality. Discuss how the natural minor scale can influence harmonic progression choices when composing music.
Jan 16, 2021 · The natural minor scale informs the creation of melodies with a clear character to them. Music does not derive its character solely from pitches and their relationships to each other, so the end result of a melody informed by the natural minor scale might be influenced by any number of other musical considerations.
Feb 24, 2024 · A Natural Minor Scale. The first form of A minor that we will look at is the natural minor scale. It’s made up of seven notes starting on A (which is known as the keynote). It then follows the natural minor scale formula of whole and half steps. This gives us the notes: A B C D E F G. A Natural Minor Scale in the Treble Clef
A natural minor scale (or Aeolian mode) is a diatonic scale that is built by starting on the sixth degree of its relative major scale. For instance, the A natural minor scale can be built by starting on the 6th degree of the C major scale:
The natural minor scale can be thought of as a major scale with the 3rd 6th and 7th notes lowered by one half step. By altering these notes we also change the intervals which make up the scale. Also, most of the time when we refer to a ‘minor' scale we're generally referring to the natural minor.
