B Flat Minor Violin Scale: Key Signature

Video Transcript

"Now, we've learned how to construct and play a B flat minor scale on the violin. Now let's look at it on the staff paper. Right here we have our key signature. All of these flats right here, this is our key signature. It lets us know in a piece or in a scale which notes will be flatted. OK. We have a one under our B flat, because it's our first scale degree. So we put a one under it. We have a two under the C natural. And if you see, right here, we have a V shape. Now, it's connecting two and three. That's because in a minor scale, two and three, and five and six are always half steps. This V shape thing right here represents a half step. Four, we have E flat, five, F natural, again, we have our V which is a half step. Seven is an A flat, and B flat is an eight. So we have an eight under the B."
