![]() ![]() There are a few new solfège syllables in minor including me (\downarrow\hat3), le (\downarrow\hat6), and te (\downarrow\hat7). Scale degrees in minor are the same as those in major.While there are three minor scales, minor keys and minor key signatures are always identified as simply “minor” (“A minor,” “D minor,” etc.) and are based on the natural minor scale.Melodic minor: W‑H‑W‑W‑W‑W‑H (ascending) and W‑W‑H‑W‑W‑H‑W (descending). ![]() Harmonic minor: W‑H‑W‑W‑H‑3Hs‑H (ascending).Natural minor: W‑H‑W‑W‑H‑W‑W (ascending).Each minor scale is an ordered collection of half and whole steps, as follows:.There are three variations on the minor scale: natural minor, harmonic minor, and melodic minor.A minor scale's third note is always a half step lower than the third note of the major scale with the same name.See B (musical note) and Musical note#Note names and their history for explanations. Natural B is called B by Swedish jazz and pop musicians, but still denoted H in classical music. Since the 1990s, B-flat is often denoted Bb or "Bess" instead of B in Swedish music textbooks. In Germany, Russia, Poland and Scandinavia, this pitch is designated B, with 'H' used to designate the B- natural. While orchestras tune to an A provided by the oboist, wind ensembles usually tune to a B-flat provided by a tuba, horn, or clarinet. See pitch (music) for a discussion of historical variations in frequency. When calculated in equal temperament with a reference of A above middle C as 440 Hz, the frequency of the B ♭ above middle C is approximately 466.164 Hz. B-flat is also enharmonic to C (C-double flat). It lies a diatonic semitone above A and a chromatic semitone below B, thus being enharmonic to A ♯, even though in some musical tunings, B ♭ will have a different sounding pitch than A ♯. B ♭ ( B-flat), or, in some European countries, B, is the eleventh step of the Western chromatic scale (starting from C).
