MINOR –
Pure or Natural Minor, Aeolian, Parallel or Relative Minor to (the Major one minor third above). Ex.: A minor (C)
C minor (Eb): DO, RE, ME, FA, SO, LE, TE, DO
C# minor (E): DI, RI, MI, FI, SI, LA, TI, DI
D minor (F): RE, MI, FA, SO, LA, TE, DO, RE
D# minor/Eb minor (F#/Gb): skipped because of dubble-sharps/-flats
E minor (G): MI, FI, SO, LA, TI, DO, RE, MI
F minor (Ab): FA, SO, LE, TE, DO, RA, ME, FA
F# minor (A): FI, SI, LA, TI, DI, RE, MI, FI
G minor (Bb): SO, LA, TE, DO, RE, ME, FA, SO
G# minor (B): SI, LI, TI, DI, RI, MI, FI, SI
A minor (C): LA, TI, DO, RE, MI, FA, SO, LA
Bb minor (Db): TE, DO, RA, ME, FA, SE, LE, TE
MELODIC MINOR –
The melodic minor scale is a minor scale with raised sixth and seventh scale degrees, but only when ascending. The descending part of the melodic minor scale is identical to a natural minor scale.
Ex.: C minor melodic scale:
DO, RE, ME, FA, SO, LA, TI, DO, TE, LE, SO, FA, ME, RE, DO
ascending: DO, RE, ME, FA, SO, LA, TI, to the octave DO, then descending TE, LE, SO, FA, ME, RE, back to the root DO
Due to the reason that certain melodic minor scales will get dubblesharps and dubbleflats, which would mean new syllables I decided to only show the following ones and not all 12 melodic minor scales:
Cm mel. : DO, RE, ME, FA, SO, LA, TI, DO, TE, LE, SO, FA, ME, RE, DO
Dm mel. : RE, MI, FA, SO, LA, TI, DI, RE, DO, TE, LA, SO, FA, MI, RE
Em mel. : MI, FI, SO, LA, TI, DI, RI, MI, RE, DO, TI, LA, SO, FI, MI
Fm mel. : FA, SO, LE, TE, DO, RE, MI, FA, ME, RA, DO, TE, LE, SO, FA
Gm mel. : SO, LA, TE, DO, RE, MI, FI, SO, FA, ME, RE, DO, TE, LA, SO
Am mel. : LA, TI, DO, RE, MI, FI, SI, LA, SO, FA, MI, RE, DO, TI, LA
Bbm mel. : TE, DO, RA, ME, FA, SO, LA, TE, LE, SE, FA, ME, RA, DO, TE
HARMONIC MINOR –
The harmonic minor scale is derived from the natural minor scale only with a raised seventh degree.
Again due to dubble-sharps/-flats I only show the following:
C harm. minor : DO, RE, ME, FA, SO, LE, TI, DO
D harm. minor : RE, MI, FA, SO, LA, TE, DI, RE
E harm. minor : MI, FI, SO, LA, TI, DO, RI, MI
F harm. minor : FA, SO, LE, TE, DO, RA, MI, FA
G harm. minor : SO, LA, TE, DO, RE, ME, FI, SO
A harm. minor : LA, TI, DO, RE, MI, FA, SI, LA
Bb harm. minor : TE, DO, RA, ME, FA, SE, LA, TE
