Scales & Key Signatures: Spelling Natural Minor Scales - Other Scale Comparisons

The key signature for E minor is the same as G major: one sharp (F-sharp).

  • Therefore, the E natural minor scale is: e - f-sharp - g - a - b - c - d - e.

The key signature for D minor is the same as F major: one flat (B-flat).

  • Therefore, the D natural minor scale is: d - e - f - g - a - b-flat - c - d.

The key signature for B minor is the same as D major: two sharps (F-sharp and C-sharp).

  • Therefore, the B natural minor scale is: b - c-sharp - d - e - f-sharp - g - a - b.

And once again, the key signature for G minor is the same as B-flat major: two flats (B-flat and E-flat).

  • Therefore, the G natural minor scale is: g - a - b-flat - c - d - e-flat - f - g.
