Why do composers write in F sharp minor not G flat minor?
G and A are only one step away from each other while F and A are two. While Gb to A still sounds like a minor third, written on the staff it looks like a second. Also, you can't have the same note letter twice in a scale. If you went up the (natural minor) scale from Gb, the next note would be Ab, then A, thus using the same note letter twice in a scale. Also, in A major, the relative major to F# minor, the sharps are F#, C#, and G#. F# already being in the key signature, it seems more natural to use F# than G.

How many kinds of minor scales are there?
Harmonic Minor - The first minor scale you will learn, uses the accidentals in the key signature with a sharp 7th. Melodic Minor - First half of the scale is minor, the second half is major (ascending). Descending, only the accidentals in the scale are used. Natural Minor - Same notes as the relative major but ending on the first note of the minor scale. Hope this helps.
What is a melodic scale in music?
A melodic minor scale is a minor scale where the sixth and seventh are raised by a half step as the scale ascends; however, the melodic minor scale is played exactly the same as a natural minor scale as it descends.
What is the difference of a melodic scale and a harmonic scale?
The difference between a melodic minor scale and a harmonic minor scale is that in a melodic minor scale, the sixth and seventh scale degrees are raised on the way up, and on the way down they are the same as they would be in natural minor. In a harmonic minor scale, only the seventh scale degree is raised and stays the same on the way down.

What is the name of the second scale degree of a harmonic minor scale?
It is called the supertonic (Latin super=above. Thus, "above the tonic"). This is the same for the major scale as well as the 3 minor scales of Western music (natural, melodic and harmonic).
What notes are in the key of F minor?
The standard minor scale (or natural minor) contains the first, second, lowered third, fourth, fifth, lowered sixth and lowered seventh scale degrees. In F minor the notes are: F natural minor - F, G, Ab, Bb, C, Db, Eb and F. F harmonic minor - F, G, Ab, Bb, C, Db, E natural and F. F melodic minor - F, G, Ab, Bb, C, D natural, E natural and F (ascending). In the descending form of the F melodic minor scale, the D and D are lowered to Db and Eb (ie the same notes as the natural minor).
What are the notes in a G minor scale?
Minor scales are a little weird, because they actually come in three flavors: natural minor, melodic minor, and harmonic minor. Melodic minor is particularly weird because the notes are different if you're going up the scale than if you're going down the scale! In all cases, the first five notes are the same, it's only the last two where things get weird. For the natural minor, the notes of G minor are: G-A-Bb-C-D-Eb-F-G. For melodic minor, if you're going up the scale, it's: G-A-Bb-C-D-E-F#-G, but going down the scale, it's the same as natural minor. Harmonic minor is probably the least used, and I don't remember the exact rules. I think it might be G-A-Bb-C-D-Eb-F#-G. The key signature for a minor key, though, will be that of the natural minor. So G minor will have two flats.
