How do you play minor scales, arpeggios and melodic minors (piano)?
If you have, say, “A Melodic minor”, you would raise that a minor third to find the relative major key, which would be “C Major”. C Major has no sharps or flats so the “NATURAL Minor” scale of “A” has no sharps or flats, BUT in melodic minor you raise the 6th and 7th note while ascending, then you lower them for descending. You apply same concept for other key signatures (minor third above to find major key and that is how many accidentials are in your minor key)–keep natural accidentals, then raise the 6th and 7th asc. lower for dec. So it would be A B C D E F# G# A for ascending and A G F E D C B A for descending. The arpeggio would be A C E A ascending and A E C A descending (nothing changes). Your fingering for right hand would be 123-12345321-321 and left: 12345-34543-54321 (these are only for one octave. just keep going for more). For harmonic minor, instead of raising the 6th, you keep to the natural key signature but you raise the 7th. Harmonic does not change while descending
