PositionĮxamine the table and you will see that the 3, 6, and 7 positions will be flat chords (flat notes start the chord at these positions) depending on the minor scale used. Lets start by looking at the C Major and minor scales. The numbering system for minor scales is the same as for major scales expect that there is a use of an accidental (small note to left of roman numerals) to indicate that the position is flat. The difference for each is in the number of flat or minor notes in the scale as compared to the major scale. Three Scales Three SystemsĪs we discovered in working with scales there are three minor scales and therefore three Harmonic Systems to be developed. It will apply for the minor harmonic systems. Review the major harmonic system for the process and procedure to create harmonic systems. It is something that can be taught early and give a student a much needed boost to there theory and master of music.Īs before the definitions apply. Moving to and learning these systems is often reserved for advanced students. In next post I'll make a list of all ascending minor scales.Chords and Scales Combined to Make a System for Minor KeysĪ.k.a – The Minor Diatonic Harmonic Systems C harmonic minor scale C♯ harmonic minor scale D harmonic minor scale D♯ harmonic minor scale E♭ harmonic minor scale E harmonic minor scale F harmonic minor scale F♯ harmonic minor scale G harmonic minor scale G♯ harmonic minor scale A♭ harmonic minor scale A harmonic minor scale A♯ harmonic minor scale B♭ harmonic minor scale B harmonic minor scale Later, when we finish this series, you will be able to compare and recognise those 3 minor scales. Besides, try to get used to the sound/shape of the harmonic minor scale. Here I want to list all the harmonic minor scales.Īs always, if you can, play every single scale on your instrument and on a piano/synth. In the second one I listed all the natural minor scales. In the first one I introduced the 3 kind of minor scales. This is the third post in a series about minor scales.
