its the same as the A flat major scale, but you have to lower the 3d, 6th and 7th, but since it's melodic the 6th and 7th are Major on the ascending.
so:
A flat major: A flat - B flat - C - D flat - E flat - F - G - A flat
A flat melodic minor ascending: A flat - B flat - C flat- D flat - E flat - F - G - A flat
A flat melodic minor descending: A flat - G flat - F flat - E flat - D flat - C flat - B flat - A flat
You might be wondering whats up with that C flat, 'cause its the same as a B. Same for the F (being an E). But this is the right way to write it, theoretically.
Play these keys: C, E flat, G to get a C minor chord.
It depends if you're playing a D flat major or a D flat minor chord. For D flat major, play D flat, F, and A flat. For D flat minor, play D flat, E, and A flat.
You find B on the keyboard, then play the black key rightbefore it.
It depends on which scale of c-minor you would use: there are four basic scales, aeolian: this is the scale you extract from E flat major (c, d, e flat, f, g, a flat, b flat), harmonic: (c, d, e flat, f, g, a flat, b), melodic (c, d, e flat, f, g, a, b) - in classical music this is the upgoing version, the downversion is c, b flat, a flat, g, f, e flat, d, c. then you have the c minor dorian scale: this you can hear on so what by miles Davis and is often related to the modal idiom: (c, d, e flat, f, g, a, b flat). to know which scale to use you have to know something about functional harmony: what you play has to have some reference to what's coming (a different chord), f.i.: you cannot play an a in c minor when going to f minor. Notes are what is played that creates music that can be heard. Notes are also what musicians read when they play an instrument.
You will play in the key that is a major second or one whole step above the key the piano is playing in. For example, if the piano is playing in C major, the tenor sax will play in D major, if the piano is playing in Bb minor, the tenor sax will be playing in C minor, etc.
Play these keys: C, E flat, G to get a C minor chord.
It depends if you're playing a D flat major or a D flat minor chord. For D flat major, play D flat, F, and A flat. For D flat minor, play D flat, E, and A flat.
The natural minor would be: E flat, F natural, G flat, A flat, B flat, C flat, D flat, E flat. This has six flats (too many for me), and incidentally is exactly the same as D# minor, which has six sharps. The melodic minor is different on the way up and way down. On the way up, play C natural instead of C flat, and D natural instead of D flat. On the way down, play it the same way as you do a natural minor. And finally, harmonic minor: Leave the C flat alone and play a D natural instead of a D flat going both ways. Pianists tend to practice the harmonic minor, which strings practice the melodic minor. Just ask your teacher what type they would like you to use. There a lot of D# minor scales but i will give you one. |-----11--9--7--6---------------------------------------------E |-------------------9--7--6------------------------------------A |----------------------------8--6------------------------------D |----------------------------------9--8--6---------------------G |-------------------------------------------9--8--6------------B |----------------------------------------------------9--7------e
What do you mean by this? If you mean a melody, it's the main tune. You play it either by ear or reading music. Or do you mean melodic minor scales? There are 2 types of minor scales; melodic and harmonic. I apologize if you are not familiar with music theory and don't understand what I am saying, but there are harmonic and melodic minor scales. Harmonics involve the key of the scale, plus the raised 7th note ascending and descending. Melodics are also the key of the scale, but with the 6th and 7th notes of the scale raised when ascending, and back to the raw form of the key when descending.

There are a few types of scales for EACH key: major natural minor harmonic minor melodic minor The major is the one that you typically learn first, natural minor next, etc. The harmonic minor scale is a scale that is similar to the natural minor, only the 7th tone is raised by a half step. For the melodic, it is similar to the harmonic only its 6th tone is ALSO raised. NOTE: when you are coming down on a melodic scale, play the natural minor scale for that key. There are as many of each type of scale as there are scales, which, in total is 48. Including all of the 4 types listed above.
You will play in the key that is a major second or one whole step above the key the piano is playing in. For example, if the piano is playing in C major, the tenor sax will play in D major, if the piano is playing in Bb minor, the tenor sax will be playing in C minor, etc.
Sonata No. 14 C-Sharp Minor for Piano-Beethoven
The melodic minor scale differs from the natural minor scale by raising the sixth and seventh degrees when ascending, but reverting back to the natural minor scale when descending. This alteration creates a more pleasing sound and smoother transition to the tonic in melodic minor compared to the natural minor scale.
You cant
I know how to play it, but for me to tell you everything, we'll be awhile. All I can say now is for the left hand: play g flat, d flat, then the NEXT g flat. Then play g flat, d flat, then e. Good luck and keep trying!
