A Harmonic Minor
The A Harmonic Minor scale is a seven-note scale that consists of the notes A, B, C, D, E, F, and G#. It is derived from the natural minor scale but features a raised seventh note, which creates a distinctive sound. This raised seventh, G#, helps to create a stronger resolution to the tonic note, A, making it popular in various musical genres.
In music theory, the A Harmonic Minor scale is often used in classical, jazz, and world music. It is closely related to the A Natural Minor scale, which has a G natural instead of G#. The unique interval structure of the harmonic minor scale allows for the creation of rich harmonies and melodies, making it a valuable tool for composers and musicians.
