3.1Start with the easiest minor scale: A minor
A natural minor:
A B C D E F G A
= ля си до ре ми фа соль ля
Notice something important:
It uses exactly the same notes as C major.
C major:
C D E F G A B C
A minor:
A B C D E F G A
Same seven notes.
Different home note.
This relationship is called relative major/minor.
So:
C major ↔ A minor
They share the same key signature: no sharps or flats.
