Free 1-Octave Harmonic Minor Scales in 12 Keys for Piano
These are harmonic minor scales in one full octave in all 12 keys. The full octave scale has 8 notes going up and going down. Please remember that these scales are written down with key signature (# or b at the beginning of each line). However, we kindly added cautionary # (sharps) and b (flats) in parenthesis. For those of you who are complete beginner please note that sharp and flat signs are on the left side of a note, not on the right side. Try to practice from the easier ones first and also hand separately first. We suggest starting with keys such as A minor, D minor, E minor, C minor, and G minor first. These keys have the same fingering order. Eventually, it's best to memorize one by one. But take your time to learn them and make it automatic one by one.
The harmonic minor scale has one note that altered (a half step higher) from the actual key signature. The 7th note of a scale is raised a half step higher either by having accidentals like a sharp or natural sign.
It's boring to listen to the recording. But it's on this page for free just in case you need it.
