Many people are reasonably happy about choosing chords to harmonize a melody in a major key but minor keys present particular challenges, especially when trying to figure out your way around the natural minor scale, melodic minor scale and harmonic minor scale and dealing with the inevitable conflicts between melody and harmony. In this music theory lesson, we show you how to add chords and harmonize a melody in a minor key and you will learn some of the most successful minor key chord options and chord progressions. Additionally there is advice on avoiding the pitfalls of harmonizing in melodies in a minor key and how to end up with chords that paint the melody well, while adding suitable colour and harmonic rhythm that functions well. \n
