Now that we know the notes of the E flat minor scale (natural), we now take a look at the E flat harmonic minor scale. Notes: Db – F – Abįor further reading on the key of E flat minor and its chords, go here. Triad chords in the key of Eb minor and their notes: Notes of E flat major scale: E♭, F, G♭, A♭, B♭, C♭, D♭, E♭.Notes of D sharp major scale: D#, E#, F#, G#, A#, B, C#, D#.

Finally, the last whole step returns us to Eb. Let’s form the E flat minor scale with this formula. “W” stands for whole step and “H” stands for half step. There’s a formula for forming natural minor scales using whole steps and half steps. How about the scale degrees? They are as follows: Here’s the E flat natural minor scale on the bass clef. Here’s the E flat natural minor scale on the treble clef. Here’s a diagram of the E flat minor scale on piano/keyboard.
