Interactive piano reference to major and minor scales
First thing I clicked on was C minor... which showed me &quot;C minor scale&quot;. Problem is.. Is that a thing? I&#x27;ve not heard of &quot;the C minor scale&quot;. I don&#x27;t think it&#x27;s a thing. (Jazz pianist here) In classical piano as a kid I was taught 2 minor scales - melodic (different going up to coming down) and harmonic. Your &quot;minor scale&quot; corresponds to the melodic minor descending, aka Aeolian mode. (i.e. white piano notes from A up to A)<p>[googles it] On the &quot;minor scale&quot; wiki page they mention those three scales - &quot;In music theory, the term <i>minor scale</i> refers to three scale patterns&quot;. There is no one &quot;minor scale&quot;, that I&#x27;m aware of. Well, maybe you were taught that way, I don&#x27;t know. Dorian mode (i.e. white piano notes from D up to D) is another commonly used minor scale; there are others.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Minor_scale" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Minor_scale</a>
