The 'Harmonic Minor 8.0' worksheet is designed to help you understand and learn the harmonic minor scale, You must however remember that our theory is different then what you may have been taught or have read elsewhere, This worksheet shows how the scale lies within the major scale...

  When you sharpen the V. of the major scale to create the harmonic minor scale then you alter every chord in some way, If you alter any of the 'first three' tones of a chord then you change the entire chord (major, minor, diminished), If you don't end up altering the basic triad then you will alter one of the extensions...

The chord structure for the normal major scale is
(I. Major, II. minor, III. minor, IV. Major, V. Major, VI. minor, VII. dim.)

The chord structure for the harmonic minor scale is
(I. Aug., II. minor, III. Major, IV. Major, V. dim., VI. minor, VII. dim.)

   The augmented chord should be the main focus as well the harmonic minor scale itself, Any of the extended chords that are a result of the sharp five are for the most part invalid, This worksheet is designed to show our (1 2 3 4 #5 6 7) theory...
