Perfect 8th: The 8th note of the F# melodic minor scale is F#.Tonic: The 1st note of the F# melodic minor scale is F#.The descending formula is the natural minor scale formula backwards. The formula for a melodic minor scale (ascending) is W-H-W-W-W-W-H. (These are the notes of the F# natural minor scale.) Notes of the F# melodic minor scale descending: F♯, G♯, A, B, C♯, D, E, F♯. Notes of the F# melodic minor scale ascending: F♯, G♯, A, B, C♯, D♯, E♯, F♯. When descending, you go back to the natural minor scale. For the F sharp melodic minor scale we raise the 6th and 7th notes by a half step and this results in F♯, G♯, A, B, C♯, D♯, E♯, F♯. The notes of the F sharp natural minor scale (as we’ve seen) are F♯, G♯, A, B, C♯, D, E, F♯. While the harmonic minor scale raises only the seventh note of the natural minor scale by a half step, the melodic minor scale raises both the sixth and seventh notes by a half step.

Let’s now learn how to form the F sharp melodic minor scale. Here’s the F# harmonic minor scale on the bass clef. Here’s the F# harmonic minor scale on the treble clef. Here’s a diagram of the harmonic F sharp minor scale on piano. Perfect 8th: The 8th note of the F# harmonic minor scale is F#.Major 7th: The 7th note of the scale is E#.
Minor 6th: The 6th note of the scale is D. Perfect 5th: The 5th note of the scale is C#. Perfect 4th: The 4th note of the scale is B. Minor 3rd: The 3rd note of the scale is A. Major 2nd: The 2nd note of the scale is G#. Tonic: The 1st note of the F# harmonic minor scale is F#. (Whole step – half step – whole step – whole step – half step – whole step and a 1/2 step – half step.) The formula for forming a harmonic minor scale is W-H-W-W-H-W 1/2-H. To form the F sharp harmonic minor scale, we raise the seventh note by a half step and this results in F♯, G♯, A, B, C♯, D, E♯, F♯. For example, the notes of the natural F sharp minor scale are F♯, G♯, A, B, C♯, D, E, F♯. To play a harmonic minor scale, you simply raise the seventh note of the natural minor scale by a half-step as you go up and down the scale. Now that we know the notes of the F sharp minor scale (natural), we now take a look at the F sharp harmonic minor scale. Notes: G# – B – Dįor further reading on the key of F# minor and its chords, go here. Triad chords in the key of F# minor and their notes: On both the left and right hands, the thumb is finger 1, index finger is finger two, middle finger is finger 3, ring finger is finger 4 and pinky (little) finger is finger 5. Let’s now learn the piano fingerings for the F# minor scale. The sixth note of the major scale becomes the root note of its relative minor. A natural minor scale/key consists of the same notes as its relative major. The relative major key for the key of F# minor is A major. Finally, the last whole step returns us to F#. Let’s form the F sharp minor scale with this formula. “W” stands for whole step and “H” stands for half step. There’s a formula for forming natural minor scales using whole steps and half steps. How about the scale degrees? They are as follows: Here’s the F sharp natural minor scale on the bass clef. Here’s the F sharp natural minor scale on the treble clef. Here’s a diagram of the F sharp minor scale on piano/keyboard.
Perfect 8th – The 8th note of the F-sharp natural minor scale is F#. Minor 7th – The 7th note of the scale is E. Minor 6th – The 6th note of the scale is D. Perfect 5th – The 5th note of the scale is C#. Perfect 4th – The 4th note of the scale is B. Minor 3rd – The 3rd note of the scale is A. Major 2nd – The 2nd note of the scale is G#.
Tonic – The 1st note of the F-sharp natural minor scale is F#. Let’s take a look at the intervals of the F# minor scale. To learn more about this scale and others, check out my course, Learn Scales & Music Theory & Give Yourself An Upper Hand. The notes of the F sharp natural minor scale are F♯, G♯, A, B, C♯, D, and E. We will learn the notes, intervals and scale degrees of the F sharp minor scale (natural, melodic and harmonic) on the piano, treble and bass clef. We will take a look at all three of them here. The three types of minor scales are the natural, melodic and harmonic minor scales. Let’s learn how to play the F sharp minor scale.
