    If there are major scales there are also minor scales. The notes on a major scale sound bright and cheerful while notes on the minor scale sound solemn and sad. There are three types of minor scales:
    Natural Minor Scale - When you play all the notes in a minor key signature, you are playing the minor scale. To guide you, here are the minor scales in every key:
    C = C - D - Eb - F - G - Ab - Bb - C
    D = D - E - F - G - A - Bb - C - D
    E = E - F# - G - A - B - C - D - E
    F = F - G - Ab - Bb - C - Db - Eb - F
    G = G - A - Bb - C - D - Eb - F - G
    A = A - B - C - D - E - F - G - A
    B = B - C# - D - E - F# - G - A - B
    C# = C# - D# - E - F# - G# - A - B - C#
    Eb = Eb - F - Gb - Ab - Bb - Cb - Db - Eb
    F# = F# - G# - A - B - C# - D - E - F#
    G# = G# - A# - B - C# - D# - E - F# - G#
    Bb = Bb - C - Db - Eb - F - Gb - Ab - Bb

    Harmonic Minor Scale

    Harmonic Minor Scale - To play a harmonic minor scale, you simply raise the seventh note of the scale by a half-step as you go up and down the scale. For example:
    Natural C Minor Scale = C - D - Eb - F - G - Ab - Bb - C
    Harmonic C Minor Scale = C - D - Eb - F - G - Ab - B - C
