Major/Minor Relative Transposition To find your relative minor scale, you need to go to your major scale, and find your sixth note. That note will be the starting note to your relative minor scale. Then you write out your scale going in order of your notes. Your key signature will be the same as your major scales key signature. So if you start with Concert Bb (C Major) go to your sixth note which is A. Now write out your scale starting with A. So it’s, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, A. Now my key signature in Concert Bb (C Major) is no sharps or flats, so there are no sharps or flats in my relative g minor scale.
Memorization Progress: I am working hard on memorizing my scales. Right now, I have Concert Bb, F, G, and Ab memorized. The rest of the scales, I can just figure out in my head, but it takes me a little while. I like to use the circle of fifths to find my key signature, and then I just transpose and write the rest of my scales. Finding the minor is not harder necessarily, but it takes more time, because I have to find the major first and then find my minor.
*Major and Minor scales share the same key signatures
