![]() Use the second and third fingers for D flat and E flat, respectively. From there, move your thumb under and use it to hit the C key. When fingering the scale in the right hand, start with your second finger (index finger) on the A flat followed by the third finger to B flat. The notes of the A Flat Minor scale are A flat, B flat, C, D flat, E flat, F, G, and back to A flat. Let's start with the notes of the scale before moving on to the fingering. ![]() Today I want to teach you to play the A Flat Minor scale. If you want to experiment with the Circle of Fifths, we recommend that you try this excellent interactive Circle of Fifths.Download PDF Learn How To Play The A Flat Major Scale On Piano! (Please review inverted intervals if this is confusing.) Since going down by a perfect fifth is the same as going up by a perfect fourth, the counterclockwise direction is sometimes referred to as a "circle of fourths". If you go up a perfect fifth (clockwise in the circle), you get the key that has one more sharp or one less flat if you go down a perfect fifth (counterclockwise), you get the key that has one more flat or one less sharp. The circle of fifths gets its name from the fact that as you go from one section of the circle to the next, you are going up or down by an interval of a perfect fifth. The keys that are most distant from C major, with six sharps or six flats, are on the opposite side of the circle. The next most closely related keys to C major would be G major (or E minor), with one sharp, and F major (or D minor), with only one flat. ![]() This puts them in the same "slice" of the circle. So the most closely related key to C major, for example, is A minor, since they have the same key signature (no sharps and no flats). What makes two keys "closely related" is having similar key signatures. Keys are not considered closely related to each other if they are near each other in the chromatic scale (or on a keyboard). In theory, one could continue around the circle adding flats or sharps (so that B major is also C flat major, with seven flats, E major is also F flat major, with 6 flats and a double flat, and so on), but in practice such key signatures are very rare. The major key for each key signature is shown as a capital letter the minor key as a small letter. ![]()
