Harmonic Minor Piano ScalesHarmonic minor piano scales are simple to build if you know the Natural Minor scales! You simply sharp the seventh note.For example: the "A" Natural minor scale is To form the Harmonic minor scale, you sharp the G and you have Let's try another one. The "E" natural minor scale is To make it Harmonic minor, sharp the "D". Pretty easy, right? Just remember that you have to know the key signature (how many sharps or flats) of the relative major scale. You have to think a little backwards here--on the 6th note of which major scale does my chosen natural or harmonic minor scale start?
