Think of your favorite scary movie. During the
scariest parts, was the music happy and bright,
or was it mysterious, giving you a sense that
something was going to happen?

I bet you said that it was mysterious. That’s
because a lot of the music in scary movies is
written using minor scales and keys.

In this lesson, we will be building minor scales
with varied key signatures.

Minor Scale Facts:
A minor scale is a diatonic scale.
There are three types of minor
scales: natural, harmonic and
melodic.
A natural minor scale contains the
same key signature as its relative
major, with no alterations.>

A minor scale is a diatonic (die-a-tonic) scale.
There are three types of minor scales, natural,
harmonic and melodic.
A natural minor scale contains the same key
signature as its relative major, with no
alterations.
A harmonic minor scale contains a raised 7th.
<Image: Image1_L10>
<Bounce in Image>
A melodic minor scale contains a raised 6th and
7th ascending and returns to natural minor
descending.
<Image: Image2_L10>
<Dissolve in Image, use reference

signatures in left row, and second
two in right row>
The Key Signatures we will be using to build
these scales are up to the first two sharps and
flats.

<Highlight respective keys>
In major these keys are: C, G, D, F and Bb (B
flat)
All of these key signatures are at the top of the
circle of fifths.

Figure out the 6th scale degree of each of these
major scales.
The sixth scale degree of C is a.
The sixth scale degree of G is e.
<Highlight e>
<Highlight b>
<Highlight d>
The sixth scale degree of D is b.
The sixth scale degree of F is d.
The sixth scale degree of Bb is g.
<Highlight g>
<Dissolve in Image>
You can then build your minor scales using the
same key signature.

Another way the build a minor scale is to use
intervals.
<Fade in Text>
<TEXT: Interval Method>
<Dissolve in Image>
<Image5_L10>
Let’s say someone told you to build a minor
scale on g and you had to include accidentals.
<Bounce in Text>
<TEXT: Minor Scale
Intervals:Whole, Half, Whole,
Whole, Half, Whole, Whole>
The intervals for the natural minor scale are
Whole, Half, Whole, Whole, Half, Whole, Whole
<Bounce in Image>
<Image6_L10>
<Highlight flats (b)>
<Dissolve to Image>
Start at G and build the steps going up to the
next g.
Now you can see what the accidentals are in
natural minor and figure out the key signature.
No matter what minor scale you build, you must
build the natural minor before the harmonic or
melodic.

In addition, we will learn how to build both treble
and bass (base) clef scales. Let’s review the
lines and spaces of the treble and bass clef
scales.

The treble clef spaces are F, A, C, E. A good
way to remember this is the word face.

minor looks in treble clef.

This is how e minor looks in bass clef.
Minor tonality is used frequently in classical
compositions.

Here is a Rondo in g minor by Antonin (ahn-toenin) Dvorak (deh-vor-dzahk). Listen for those
mysterious qualities of minor music.
