![]() ![]() A whole step above A flat is B flat, so you must write a flat sign in front of the B, to make it B flat. A whole step above G flat is A flat, so you must write a flat sign in front of the A. A half step above F is G flat, so you must write a flat sign in front of the G. A whole step above E flat is F, so no accidental is needed. A whole step above D flat is E flat, so you must write a flat sign in front of the E. A half step above C is D flat, so you must write a flat sign in front of the D. A whole step above B flat is C, so no accidental is needed. By checking each whole step and half step we can determine all pitches of the natural minor scale. Check every whole step and half step in the scale and write in the necessary accidentals. ![]() The B flat natural minor scale begins on the note B flat, not B natural.Ĥ. Remember that with natural minor scales, the word “natural” has nothing to do with the accidental that we call natural. The term “natural” minor can be confusing. For this scale, the last note should be B flat. Make sure that your last note is exactly one octave above the first note of the scale. Do not skip any pitches and do not repeat any pitches. Start on the note B flat and write each successive note for every scale degree. Write in the pitches for that diatonic scale. Write the pattern of whole steps and half steps as they occur between each scale degree (W H W W H W W).ģ. Write all of the scale degrees under the staff.Ģ. The B flat natural minor scale will serve as an example.ġ. Here is a simple step-by-step process to create natural minor scales accurately. It uses a whole step and half step pattern of W H W W H W W. Like major scales, the natural minor scale is a diatonic scale, so no letter names will be repeated or skipped. There are three basic minor scales: natural, melodic, and harmonic. Most of the music that stems from Western European traditions utilizes either major or minor scales. ![]()
