	Minor scale - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sometimes the natural minor scale is equated with the Aeolian mode, but a key characteristic of music in the minor mode in the common practice period of Western music is the use of the leading tone, a half step below the tonic.
		Minor modes use the same set of key signatures as major modes; whichever signature corresponds to the step pattern of the natural minor scale is considered the key signature for that minor mode.
		The major diatonic scale is simply a transposition of the natural minor scale, and the harmonic major scale is an inverted form of the harmonic minor scale, so all of these workhorse scales of the diatonic system possess such a circle of thirds.

	A-flat minor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A-flat minor is a minor scale based on A-flat, consisting of the pitches A-flat, B-flat, C-flat, D-flat, E-flat, F-flat, G-flat.
		The melodic minor has a raised 6th and 7th scale degree (the G-flat and F-flat become G natural and F natural) while it is ascending and returns to the natural minor while it is descending.
		Although A-flat minor occurs in modulation in works in other keys, it is seldom used as the principal key of a piece of music.

	Minor Keys and Scales
		Minor scales sound different from major scales because they are based on a different pattern of intervals.
		In the melodic minor scale, the sixth and seventh notes of the scale are each raised by one half step when going up the scale, but return to the natural minor when going down the scale.
		Major and minor scales are traditionally the basis for Western Music, but jazz theory also recognizes other scales, based on the medieval church modes, which are very useful for improvisation.

		So an A natural minor scale is just the same notes as a C major scale, only a minor scale starts and ends on the 6th degree of the major scale.
		A is the relative minor of C major, and C major is the relative major of A minor.
		The formula for a natural minor scale is 1 2 b3 4 5 b6 b7.

	Minor
		The natural minor scale has the same tones as the major scale, but uses the sixth tone of the major scale as its tonic.
		The melodic minor scale is the same as the natural minor with the exception that the sixth and seventh tones are raised by a semitone (half step) when the scale is ascending.
		The harmonic minor is the same as the natural minor, except that the seventh tone is raised by a semitone (half step) both ascending and descending, e.g.:

	Major Minor Training Environment:Lesson 2
		Because the ways in which the natural minor scale is used in tonal music are less important than the ways in which its variants are used, the training in hearing kinds of scales will not use the natural minor scale.
		The harmonic minor scale is, of course, the one they used to make all of the most important harmonies in the minor mode.
		Recall that the central issue in the formation of the harmonic minor scale was the importance of having tones which led to goal tones from a half step away.

	Dolmetsch Online - Music Theory Online - Minor Scales
		The 3rd of the minor scale must be raised (to form a major 3rd) to produce the tritone, (see lesson 12 - the tritone), that unsettles the dominant 7th thereby providing the pull back to the tonic.
		The falling melodic minor scale in the key of A minor is the falling natural minor scale.
		Because the key signatures for A flat major and f minor are identical, f minor is said to be the relative minor to A flat major and A flat major is said to be the relative major to f minor.

		The natural science minor complements the skills the student gains in his or her major by providing an underlying scientific basis upon which to build a career in natural science, life science, physical science, and the allied health fields, as well as bioinformatics, environmental management, science journalism, and science education.
		A minor in natural science requires the completion of 17 credits of coursework in natural science, at least 9 of which must be earned in upper-level courses (numbered 300 or above).
		If a specific course required for the minor is taken instead to satisfy the requirements for the major, another course in the same discipline should be substituted to fulfill the required minimum number of credits for the minor.

	Music Theory: Basic Theory: Other Minor Scales
		The natural or pure minor scale discussed earlier is one of three forms of the minor scale used in Western harmony.
		This scale is called the harmonic minor because it yields more satisfactory harmonies than the natural minor scale in that it has a dominant seventh chord on its fifth degree.
		The raised seventh degree of these minor scales is referred to as the leading tone, just as the seventh degree of the major scale is. And to avoid the augmented second, the sixth is often raised when it immediately precedes the leading tone.

	The Minor Scale (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		In the natural minor scale, all notes appear with the same accidentals as in its relative major.
		The resulting scale is referred to as harmonic minor scale because the raising of degree VII is often harmonically motivated.
		The main purpose of this accidental is to facilitate the melodic movement from degree VI to degree VII, avoiding the augmented second that is formed in the harmonic minor scale.

	Intonational considerations for the Solo Tuned, Harmonic Minor, Natural Minor and Melody Maker^TM harps
		The 5-limit tuning for the minor triad, assuming that the root is set at zero, places the minor third at +16 cents and the perfect fifth at +2 cents.
		Although I most often use my natural minor harps to play in straightahead minor keys, because of the presence of both minor and relative major triads in the draw notes of the natural minor tuning, I always use the 5-limit tuning for this harp.
		As the 5-limit minor tunings involve a lot of notes that are sharp compared to their 12TET equivalent, I also tend to set the root notes of these tunings a little lower than I would if they were major tunings.

	Music Theory - Minor Scale Modes \| sputnikmusic.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Except, make sure you allow for the fact that a natural minor scale is the Aeolian mode of a Major scale (mode starting on 6th degree), and therefore, when applying modes to the Natural Minor Scale, the first mode is called Aeolian (wheras in the Major scale it is the Ionian).
		When forming modes in harmoic minor, always remember that the 7th degree is sharpend; whenever you play the 7th degree as part of the mode (and you always will) it MUST be lifted.
		Because of the raised 7th, the Harmonic Minor Modes are different to those of the Natural Minor Scale, and as such they have different names which are descriptive.

	The Natural Minor Scale
		That means that the 3rd, 6th and 7th degrees have been lowered by a semitone to get to the notes that appear in the natural minor scale.
		The important thing is that A natural minor is the relative minor of C major, because A is the 6th degree of the C major scale.
		Remember that when the major scale is harmonised in triads, we get major triads on the 1st, 4th and 5th degrees and minor triads on the 2nd, 3rd and 6th degrees (plus, of course, the diminished triad on the 7th degree).

		First, the natural minor scale is not easy to work with when writing a song; that's why the other two were invented.
