Minor Scale Theory Reminders

1. The Natural, Melodic, and Harmonic Minor Scales all use the exact same Minor Pentascale: 1-2-b3-4-5 (Do-Re-Me-Fa So).
2. Scale degree b3 (Me) is what makes minor scales sound and feel minor.
3. The only notes that determine the kind of minor scale are b6 (Le), 6 (La), b7 (Te), and 7 (Ti).
4. For the Natural Minor Scale: The Scale Degrees are 1-2-b3-4-5-b6-b7-1 and Solfege Syllables are Do-Re-Me-Fa-So-Le-Te-Do (no matter what key you are in).
5. For the Ascending Melodic Minor Scale: The Scale Degrees are 1-2-b3-4-5-6-7-1 and Solfege Syllables are Do-Re-Me-Fa-So-La-Ti-Do (no matter what key you are in).
6. For the Descending Melodic Minor Scale: The Scale Degrees are 1-b7-b6-5-4-b3-2-1 and Solfege Syllables are Do-Te-Le-So-Fa-Me-Re-Do (no matter what key you are in).
7. For the Harmonic Minor Scale: The Scale Degrees are 1-2-b3-4-5-b6-7-1 and Solfege Syllables are Do-Re-Me-Fa-So-Le-Ti-Do (no matter what key you are in).
8. The only thing that changes when you change keys is the Letter Names of the notes.
