Question

Minor Keys quiz:
What combination of steps makes up a minor scale?
1. w-h-w-w-h-w-w
2. h-w-w-h-w-w-w-
3. w-w-h-w-w-w-h
4. h-w-h-w-h-w-h

Answer 1

The correct combination of steps that makes up a natural minor scale is:

1. w-h-w-w-h-w-w

Here's a breakdown of what that means:
- "w" stands for a whole step
- "h" stands for a half step

So, the pattern for a natural minor scale is:
- Start from the root note, go down a whole step, half step, whole step, whole step, half step, whole step, whole step.

Therefore, the answer is **1. w-h-w-w-h-w-w**.
