The Natural Minor Scale

The Natural Minor Scale has pitches that are the same as its relative major key but the ordering of the whole tones and semitones is different. The organization of whole tones and semitones in an ascending natural minor scale are in the following order:

Tone, semitone, tone, tone, semitone, tone, tone. 

The pitches are in reverse for the descending scale.

Listen to this natural minor scale and then repeat the recording to sing along. Notice where the tones and semitones fall.

T = Tone (Whole Tone/2 Semitones)

ST = Semitone
