A minor scale is a type of musical scale that has a sad or somber sound. It consists of seven notes, following a specific pattern of whole and half steps. The natural minor scale is built using the formula: whole, half, whole, whole, half, whole, whole. For example, the A minor scale starts with the note A and includes the notes A, B, C, D, E, F, G.
In addition to the natural minor scale, there are also the harmonic minor and melodic minor scales. The harmonic minor scale raises the seventh note, creating a unique sound, while the melodic minor scale raises both the sixth and seventh notes when ascending and reverts to the natural minor when descending.
