Minor Scale Worksheets

Familiarity with minor scales and how they are constructed is a very important part of developing a "joined up" understanding of music theory and how it works

Below you can see a graphic relating to one of the twelve basic music theory lesson packs that covers minor scale construction and forms part of the musicteachingresources download

The packs (with answer sheets ) are designed to take students from a position where they know nothing at all about music theory to a place where they "get" note names, scales, chords and keys (not just key signatures!) without having to understand and be familiar with notated music at all

Below you can see (and download FREE) a handout that you can use to help your students to understand the differences (and similarities) that exist in the construction of Major and minor scales

Minor scales are best understood in relation to Major scales

Students who fully understand a single major scale (in terms of the sequence of intervals that make it up) have very little trouble in transferring that "secure" knowledge into the construction of any minor Scale

When they understand the sequence of whole-step and half-step intervals (W W H W W W H) that will allow them to construct any Major scale then it is simply a case of making them aware of and familiar with the sequence of whole and half-step intervals (W H W W H W W) that will allow them to construct all (natural) minor scales

In addition to the above materials on minoe scales there are a host of similarly styled resources and worksheets covering Major scales and pentatonic scales (major and minor) as well as a whole load of stuff designed to ingrease student's understanding of blues-scales and seventh chords etc?

The music worksheets and handouts provide a simple, flexible and powerful resource to music educators and help with the development of a functionable and workable understanding of the principles of music theory.

The worksheets are not specific to a particular style of music or exam syllabus (as the reality is that Bach used the same twelve notes as Charlie Parker?)

Once they have been downloaded you can print these invaluable music education resources straight from the hard drive of your computer or drop the files onto a memory stick and take them into your school or college for photocopying etc. Whatever suits the way you work?
