Natural Minor Scale or Harmonic Minor Scale – Big Difference in Sound

PlayPiano Posted on by

Please listen to the two songs I play on this short video. They are both in the key of A minor, but there is a big difference between them. Can you hear what it is?

Once your ear gets used to hearing that raised 7th in the harmonic minor scale, you will begin to recognize the difference in sound between harmonic minor and natural minor.

In a future video I will demonstrate the melodic minor scale and how that works.

About Duane

Duane Shinn (that would be me) has good news for you if you want to play the piano. He (me) has little fat hands & stubby little fingers - not at all suited for playing the piano - more suited to making mud pies or some such. I am also fairly uncoordinated with just average musical ability - certainly not a great piano player. But I've learned a ton about music over the years and people tell me I'm pretty decent at explaining how music works & how to progress more rapidly on the piano. Over the years I have developed about 150 techniques for conquering the piano. Most professional pianists can do these techniques, but very few can explain them in a way people can understand. I specialize in making complex techniques simple. I invite you to watch a few of my free videos and see some of these for yourself before making any decision about taking any of my courses.
