Answers for Lesson #12 Quiz (Natural Minor Scales)  1) For each scale degree, write the proper technical name: 1:   name: TONIC 2:   name: SUPERTONIC 3:   name: MEDIANT 4:   name: SUBDOMINANT 5:   name: DOMINANT 6:   name: SUBMEDIANT 7:   name: LEADING TONE (or LEADING NOTE) 2) On the staves below, write the following major scales. Number the notes, then write it's relative minor scale beside it, separated by a double barline. Use a key signature for each scale, and watch the clef. a) D-major b) A-flat major c) A-major d) G-flat major e) B-major a) NOTE: Some of the minor scales (on the right) were written an octave lower than the 6th note as shown in the major. This is so that it fits on the staff a little better. This, of course, does not affect the answer in any way.   3) For each named major key, write the relative minor. The first one has been done for you: a) E-major: C# minor b) B-flat major: G-minor c) F#-major: D#-minor d) C-major: A-minor e) E-flat major: C-minor f) D-flat major: B-flat minor   4) In the first staff, write a G-major scale, both ascending and descending. Then in the next three staves, write the relative minor of G-major in all three forms. Write each scale both ascending and descending:   5) In the left column are some minor keys, In the right column, write the relative major scale, and draw the correct key signature. D-minor shares the same key signature with: F major:   F-minor shares the same key signature with: A-flat major:   C#-minor shares the same key signature with: E major:   E-minor shares the same key signature with: G major:   C-minor shares the same key signature with: E-flat major:   A-minor shares the same key signature with: C major:
