Grade 6 - Brief reminder for your homework in minors

Remember, Majors are always written in CAPITALS and +, while minors always in small letters and -

In order for us to find the relative minor of each Major we go DOWN 3 SEMITONES

for example:  C+  = a -

HOW DO WE CREATE THE MINOR?

We use the circle of 5ths to see the sharps or flats from the mother Major.

For example. For e- ( relative harmonic minor of G Major) we only need to put a sharp on the F note)

When we have placed ALL the accidentals of the Major scale to the Harmonic minor, we give her an extra characteristic.

We find the VII (Leading Note) and we raise it one semitone up.

If the note does not have any accidentals, we just put a sharp
If it has already a sharp, then we put a double sharp
If it has a flat, we remove the flat with a natural.

Minors are the only state of scales that we can have together flats and sharps.
