How to find the minor scale starting on any note, for any musical instrument. We use ear training to learn the sound of the natural, harmonic and melodic minor scales and then transpose them to different keys. Sing or play on your own instrument, or write on manuscript paper using sharps and flats, as accidentals or a key signature.
