EKS Lesson Eight Introducing minor scales
We can use this table to help us create the minor triads from minor scales. We have learned the A minor scale and the D minor scale, so let us now complete the table with the remaining five notes and then practise playing their minor scales.
Once we know their scales, our table will tell us which notes make up the minor triads for each note.
