How is a Chromatic, Melodic, Natural, and Harmonic scales different? A chromatic scale is when you play every note in order, going in half steps.
Melodic, natural, and harmonic scales are all forms of a minor scale.
Harmonic sounds like an egyptian scale, the 7th degree of the scale is raised a half step.
Melodic is where the 6th and 7th degrees of the scale are raised a half step going up the scale, but are not raised on the return down the scale.
Natural would be comparing a CM scale to Am scale. Both have the same key signature, but if you play all the white keys on a piano in AM you will have a natural minor scale. what she said |
