In this lesson, I’ll be explaining why the descending of the melodic minor scale differs from its ascending.<\/p>\n

The melodic minor scale is the only traditional scale<\/a> in European music that its descending form is different from the ascending. Other traditional scales:<\/p>\n

The natural major scale<\/a><\/p>\n

The natural minor scale<\/a><\/p>\n

The harmonic minor scale<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

…have the same ascending and descending form.<\/p>\n

We’ll be looking at the reason why the melodic minor scale is played in a particular way while ascending and in an entirely different way while descending.<\/p>\n

A good way to start would be to refresh our minds on the melodic minor scale.<\/p>\n

Quick Insights On The Melodic Minor Scale<\/h2>\n

Although the natural minor scale is the principal scale, the melodic minor scale is one of the scales that are associated with the minor key.<\/p>\n

Using the natural minor scale, the melodic minor scale can be formed by raising the sixth and seventh tones.<\/p>\n

“Let Me Show You How This Works…”<\/em><\/p>\n

Using the A natural minor scale:
\n
\n…which consists of all the white notes on the keyboard from A to A:
\n
\nThe A melodic minor scale can be formed when the sixth and seventh tones (which are F and G):
\n
\n…are raised by a half-step (to F# and G# respectively):
\n
\nCheck out the A melodic minor scale side-by-side with the A natural minor scale:<\/p>\n

Keep in mind that what we just learned is the ascending form of the melodic minor scale. The melodic minor scale has a different descending scale form and we’ll be talking about it in the next segment.<\/p>\n

The Melodic Minor Scale: Ascending Vs Descending<\/h2>\n

The descending form of the melodic minor scale differs from its ascending form and this is because of its relationship with the major scale. You’ll understand this a lot more as we proceed in this segment.<\/p>\n

But before going any further, let’s break the melodic minor scale down into tetrachords: upper and lower tetrachords.<\/p>\n

A Breakdown Of The Melodic Minor Scale Into Tetrachords<\/h3>\n

A scale can be broken down into two tetrachords (with each tetrachord consisting of four notes each). String players (like violinists) while playing traditional scales play “four notes to a string”.<\/p>\n

For example, while playing the C melodic minor scale:
\n
\n…a violinist would play the first four notes (C, D, Eb, and F) on a string:
\n
\n…and the last four notes (G, A, B, and C) on another string:
\n
\nThe first four notes make up the lower tetrachord while the last four notes make up the upper tetrachord.<\/p>\n

So, the C melodic minor scale:
\n
\n…has its lower tetrachord:
\n
\n…and upper tetrachord:
\n
\nThe understanding of the tetrachords of the melodic minor scale will better your understanding of the reason why its descending form is different from its ascending form.<\/p>\n

Keep reading!<\/p>\n

Why The Descending Fashion Of The Melodic Minor Scale Differs From Its Ascending<\/h3>\n

The descending form of the melodic minor scale is different from its ascending form because its upper tetrachord is identical to that of the major scale.<\/p>\n

Take a look at the C melodic minor and C natural major scale:<\/p>\n

C melodic minor scale:
\n
\nC natural major scale:
\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

…and you’ll observe that both scales have an identical upper tetrachord consisting of G, A, B and C:
\n
\nWhile playing the ascending form of the C melodic minor scale, the lower tetrachord comes before the upper tetrachord:<\/p>\n

Lower tetrachord:
\n
\nUpper tetrachord:
\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

However, while descending, the upper tetrachord is played before the lower tetrachord in this order:<\/p>\n

C:
\n
\nB:
\n
\nA:
\n
\nG:
\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The descending form of the C major scale and the C melodic minor scale have their first four notes in common and that’s why you can’t tell if a scale is the melodic minor scale or a major scale using its first four notes in the descending form.<\/p>\n

The tetrachord below:<\/p>\n

C:
\n
\nB:
\n
\nA:
\n
\nG:
\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

…can either be for the major scale or for the melodic minor scale.<\/p>\n

The Descending Melodic Minor Scale<\/h3>\n

The descending form of the melodic minor scale is identical with that of the natural minor scale.<\/p>\n

For example, the descending form of the C natural minor scale:<\/p>\n

C:
\n
\nBb:
\n
\nAb:
\n
\nG:
\n
\nF:
\n
\nEb:
\n
\nD:
\n
\nC:
\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

…is used as the descending form of the C melodic minor scale:
\n
\nSo, here’s the ascending form of the C melodic minor scale:
\n
\n…and its descending form:
\n<\/p>\n

Final Words<\/h2>\n

It’s important to know the ascending and descending forms of the melodic minor scale and why they are different.<\/p>\n

However, in jazz theory, the ascending form of the melodic minor scale is used as its descending. So, if you’re a jazz musician, feel free to stick to the same melodic minor scale; whether you’re ascending or descending.<\/p>\n
