The Minor Scale

 
 
The Minor Scale in the Key of C
 
The Minor Scale
 
C to D is one whole step due to the black key in between them.
D to Eb is one half step there are no keys between them.
 
The Minor Scale can be thought of as whole step - half step - whole step - whole step - half step - whole step - whole step.
 
Remember this pattern.
WHWWHWW
 
Another way to think of the notes is in numbers - the first note C=1 and the second note D=2 and the third note in the scale Eb=3 and so on.
 
Please have a look at Diatnic Harmony to see how the numbers way is the best in the end.
