C Harmonic Minor
The C Harmonic Minor scale is a seven-note scale that is derived from the C Natural Minor scale. It is formed by raising the seventh note of the natural minor scale, which in this case is B♭ in the natural minor, to B. This alteration creates a unique sound that is often associated with classical and Middle Eastern music.
The notes in the C Harmonic Minor scale are C, D, E♭, F, G, A♭, and B. This scale is commonly used in various musical genres, including jazz, metal, and flamenco, due to its distinctive and dramatic character. The raised seventh note provides a leading tone that resolves nicely to the tonic, enhancing its harmonic richness.
