Natural minor scale

Natural minor scale

[Eng.]

The natural minor scale has the same tones as the major scale, but uses the sixth tone of the major scale as its tonic. Thus, the semitones (half steps) are between the second and third tones and the fifth and sixth tones, e.g.:

C, D, E-flat, F, G, A-flat, B-flat, C (ascending)

C, B-flat, A-flat, G, F, E-flat, D, C (descending)

SCALE STEPS (IN SEMITONES OR HALF STEPS)
