minor scale (idea) by srkorn

There are traditionally three minor scales, listed here with their differences from the major scale:

The Natural Minor Scale - Contains a minor third, minor sixth and minor seventh
The Harmonic Minor Scale - Contains a minor third, and a minor sixth
The Melodic Minor Scale - Contains a minor third; in many schools of music theory, it has the minor sixth and minor seventh depending on whether the scale is ascending or descending

When you use the term "minor scale", the implication is almost always that you are referring to the natural minor scale.
