Why do they exist and what are they? In this music theory lesson we explain the Natural Minor scale and clear up confusions that people often have between Modes and Natural Minor scales. We then look at how to distinguish the Natural Minor scale from the Harmonic and Melodic scales showing what they have in common and how they vary. By the end of this music theory lesson you will know why the 3 minor scales exist and their uses.\n
