How do you find the relative minor and major?
You can find the relative minor of a major scale by finding that scale’s sixth scale degree—the sixth note in the scale. For instance, the D major scale goes D-E-F♯-G-A-B-C♯. The sixth scale degree is B. Therefore, the relative minor of D major is the key of B minor.
What are relative minor scales?
Relative minor and major scales share all the same notes–each one just has a different tonic. The best example of this is the relative relationship between C-major and A-minor. These two scales have a relative relationship and therefore share all the same notes. C-major: C D E F G A B C. A-minor: A B C D E F G A.
What is the relative minor to C?
The relative minor chord For example, the C relative minor chord is the sixth degree chord of the C major key, that is, Am (or Am7). Another example: suppose the tonality is G major. The relative minor of G will be Em (or Em7).

Why are scales called major and minor?
The two keys are clearly different because they start on a different tonic note and one scale is major (sounds “happy”) whilst the other is minor (sounds “sad”). However, they sound related because they share the same number of sharps and flats and so you can easily play one after the other without it sounding horribly discordant!. Understanding this relationship between the relative
What are all the major and minor scales?
A Minor Scale. The A Minor scale is the relative minor scale of C Major.
Why is a minor scale called a minor scale?
The scale is called the harmonic minor scale because it is a common foundation for harmonies (chords) in minor keys. For example, in the key of A minor, the dominant (V) chord (the triad built on the 5th scale degree, E) is a minor triad in the natural minor scale.
