"Exercise Thirty-Nine (The 12 Major Scales, and the 12 Minor Scales)"
Overview
The 12 Major Scales, and the 12 Minor Scales. Each major scale is followed by its relative minor. There are two ways of playing the minor scale; we thought it best to give them here after each major scale, leaving it to the instructor to teach them as he sees fit. We mark by a figure 1 the first (modern) minor scale, also termed the "harmonic minor scale;" and by a figure 2 the second (ancient) minor scale, also termed the "melodic minor scale." We know, that the modern or harmonic minor scale has a minor sixth and the leading- note both a- scending and descending; whereas the ancient or melodic minor scale has a major sixth and the leading note is ascending, and a minor seventh and minor sixth in descending. M.M. ♩ = 60 to 120. C major. 1. A minor, relative to C major. 2. A minor, relative to C major. F major. 1. D minor. 2. D minor. Bb major. 1. G minor. 2. G minor. Eb major. 1. C minor. 2. C minor.
