Now, you just need to fill in the inner circle of the clock which is the minor scales. You get there by memorizing that the C Major Key Signature is enharmonic with A minor. Write A minor in the inner clock circle at the 12 O Clock position. Then go around clockwise with the same circle of 5ths progression that we know from our mnemonic: A, E, B, F, C, G, D. The next thing that you have to know and remember is that there are always two half steps between each note in a Major or Minor scale degree except for between B and C or between E and F in which there is only one half step. You can visualize this on a piano keyboard by noticing that there is no black key between B and C or Between E and F. Now, the pair of scales, Major and minor at the same clock position are called relative scales. So, A minor is the relative minor scale related to C Major. This is different than C Major and C minor scales which are called parallel scales or C minor is the parallel minor of C Major. See Figure 3: When you have filled out all of the 24 clock positions, both inner and outer, it should look like this. The other 6 scales that make up the 30 scales of Western music are 6 enharmonic scales 2 Major and 4 minor. Therefore, the 30 Keys of Western Music are from the 1 O Clock position to the 12 O Clock position: [1] C Major, [2] A minor, [3] G Major, [4] E minor, [5] D Major, [6] B minor, [7] A Major, [8] F# minor [9] Gb Minor, [10] E Major, [11] C# minor, [12] Db minor, [13] B Major, [14] G# minor, [15] F# Major, [16] Gb Major, [17] Eb Minor, [18] D# minor, [19] Db Major, [20] C# Major, [21] Bb minor, [22] A# minor, [23] Ab Major, [24] F minor, [25] Eb Major, [26] C minor, [27] Bb Major, [28] G minor, [29] F Major, [30] D minor. Any other scales that you could imagine, like: A# Major, B# Major, D# Major, E# Major, G# Major and Ab minor are not typically used. | |
