Daily Scales -Minor 1 Octave

by Laurence Mollerup Here are all the minor scales through the cycle of fourths.

(Please see "Daily Scales -Major" for an explanation of the Cycle of Fourths.)

Practice them slowly every day as a warmup, or a way to memorize the minor scales.

There are other forms of the minor scale that will be in future lessons, including the Harmonic and Melodic Minor scales. The scales in this lesson are all Aeolian minor, which is the 6th mode of the major scale.

Make sure you can name all the notes before playing them, and try a few different fingerings.
