Scales: major and melodic minor up to 4 sharps/4 flats in various bowing, range: 3 octaves. We recommend that the student learns the lower tetrachord (on the A string) and the upper tetrachords (on the E string) before putting them together to create the A harmonic minor scale and the A melodic minor scale. They are to be played in first position, starting on the open A string. These scales and arpeggio of A minor are appropriate for Grade 1 violin students. The key signature of A minor has no sharps and no flats. The melodic minor scale includes the pitches A-B-C-D-E-F#-G# going up, but changes to G natural and F natural going down. The harmonic minor scale includes the pitches A-B-C-D-E-F-G#, and is identical going up and going down. Since the natural minor key is itself on the Circle of 5ths - E minor on circle of 5ths, this means that this is a commonly used melodic minor scale key. The key of A minor is based on the note A. This melodic minor scale is based on the natural minor scale with the same key / tonic note - E natural minor scale.
