Scales, Harmonic Minor

Harmonic Minor Scale A harmonic minor scale is identical to a Natural Minor Scale, but with the 7th scale degree raised a half step. For example, an A harmonic minor scale would include the following pitches: A B C D E F G# A. Harmonic Minor Scale information from William Wieland's theory website

Scales, Natural Minor

Natural Minor Scales A natural minor scale follows a minor key signature without accidentals. For example, the A natural minor scale, which is in the key of no flats or sharps, contains the notes A B C D E F G A. The intervals of a natural minor scale are: M2, m2, M2, M2, m2,

Triads, Diminished

Diminished Triads A diminished triad is built by stacking two minor 3rd intervals. For example, C Eb Gb is a diminished triad. Diminished Triad information from William Wieland's theory website Triad information from tobyrush.com:

Intervals Without Accidentals

Intervals Without Accidentals In a major key, diatonic intervals will be consistent between the same scale degrees. For example, in a major key, the interval between scale degree 2 up to scale degree 1(8) will always be a minor 7th. This is true in any major key.

Key Signatures, Minor

Minor Key Signatures To determine a minor key signature, first determine the major key, and go down three half steps. For example, the key of 2 sharps would be D major, but three half steps down from D is B. So, the key of 2 sharps is D major, or B minor. Minor Key Signature

Scales, Pentatonic

Pentatonic Scale A Pentatonic Scale is, at its most simple definition, a five-note scale. Typically, this is scale degrees 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6 of the major scale, resulting in a major pentatonic scale. Pentatonic Scale information from William Wieland's theory website

Enharmonic Equivalents

Enharmonic Equivalents These are notes that look different and are spelled differently, but sound the same. With the exception of B/C and E/F, any sharp note can be spelled as a flat if you go up a letter. With the exception of B/C and E/F, any flat note can be spelled as a sharp if

Circle of Fifths

Circle of Fifths The circle of fifths displays the relationship among the twelve notes of the chromatic scale, and the relationship among keys. As you travel clockwise on the circle, you add a sharp or remove a flat to the key signature. As you travel counterclockwise, you remove a sharp or add a flat to
