Question

Which of the following scale degrees stays the same when changing from a major to a minor scale third 7th 5th or 6th

Answer 1

When changing from a major scale to a natural minor scale, the scale degree that stays the same is the **5th**. The 3rd, 6th, and 7th degrees all change between major and minor scales. The major scale has a major 3rd and a major 6th, while the natural minor scale has a minor 3rd and a minor 6th. The 7th degree also changes from a major 7th in the major scale to a minor 7th in the natural minor scale. However, the 5th degree remains the same in both scales.
