What is a parallel minor of d major

Answer 1

The parallel minor of D major is D minor. In music theory, a parallel minor shares the same tonic (root note) as the major key, but it has a different scale structure, specifically using the minor scale. In this case, both D major and D minor start on the note D, but have different sets of notes: D major consists of D, E, F♯, G, A, B, and C♯, while D minor consists of D, E, F, G, A, B♭, and C.
