A natural minor scale/key consists of the same notes as its relative major. The relative major key for the key of Bb minor is Db major. Finally, the last whole step returns us to Bb. Let’s form the B flat minor scale with this formula. “W” stands for whole step and “H” stands for half step.

There’s a formula for forming natural minor scales using whole steps and half steps. How about the scale degrees? They are as follows: Here’s the B flat natural minor scale on the bass clef. Here’s the B flat natural minor scale on the treble clef. Here’s a diagram of the B flat minor scale on piano/keyboard.


The notes of the A sharp natural minor scale are A♯, B♯, C♯, D♯, E♯, F♯, and G♯. The only difference is the names of the notes. On piano, the same keys are used to play the two scales. We will learn the notes, intervals and scale degrees of the B flat minor scale (natural, melodic and harmonic) on the piano, treble and bass clef.ī flat is an enharmonic of A sharp. We will take a look at all three of them here. The three types of minor scales are the natural, melodic and harmonic minor scales. In this lesson, we will learn how to play the B flat minor scale.
