Natural Minor

Natural minor keeps the clearest minor-key entry point while preserving the same letter-linked SingLet logic used elsewhere.

Natural Minor

The minor section now breaks into natural, harmonic, and melodic minor so each common classroom form can be compared against the same pronunciation columns.

Natural minor formula

W-H-W-W-H-W-W

Natural minor keeps its own stable interval pattern: whole, half, whole, whole, half, whole, whole. It shares a key signature with its relative major, but the tonic and interval shape give it a different musical center.

Reading The Standard 15 Minor Scales

The minor-scale section mirrors the major-scale section on purpose. Using the same columns makes it easier to compare how standard note names, fixed-do, movable-do, and SingLet behave when the tonic shifts into a minor framework. The natural minor spellings keep the examples readable while preserving the same letter-linked SingLet logic.

15 Minor Scales

This companion set uses the standard natural minor spellings, again organized through the circle of fifths as one center key, a clockwise sharp side, and an anticlockwise flat side.

1. Center

A minor sits at the center with no sharps and no flats.

2. Clockwise / Sharp Side

Moving clockwise adds sharps in the usual order and yields the seven sharp-side minor keys: E minor, B minor, F♯ minor, C♯ minor, G♯ minor, D♯ minor, and A♯ minor.
