Minor interval singing example 3[edit | edit source]
If your computer can play MIDI files, click the score. To hear audio of the score rendered, click the ▶ in the audio playback panel.
Relative to the major scale
- The third note is always flattened (mi becomes me).
- The sixth and seventh notes float, sometimes flattened, sometimes not.
- Here the sixth note is flattened (la becomes le).
- The seventh note when leading back to the original do is usually a semitone away, so here it is not flattened (ti remains ti), hence the natural '♮' before it.
- Since these three notes are flattened and C major has no sharps or flats, the C minor key signature has three flats.

This exercise is mostly in the natural minor, meaning the sixth and seventh notes are flattened (le and te) per the key signature. The exception again is the seventh note leading to the first, or tonic, note (ti-re-do and re-ti-do).
