To which notes do flats need to be added to make the following scale minor? A scale is displayed on the staff with D as tonic. The notes of the scale appear in the following order: D, E, F, G, A, B, C, D.
(1 point)
F and C
F and C
B and E
B and E
B
B
D
D
The correct answer is: F and C. Flats need to be added to the F and C notes to make the scale minor.
To make the D major scale into a D minor scale, the notes that need flats added are F and C. So the correct answer is F and C (first option).
To determine which notes need to be flatted in order to make the given scale minor, we need to identify the root note of the scale (the tonic). In this case, the tonic is D.
To create a minor scale, we follow a specific pattern of whole steps (W) and half steps (H). The pattern for a natural minor scale is W, H, W, W, H, W, W.
Starting with the D major scale (which has no flats or sharps), let's apply the pattern to find the notes of the D natural minor scale:
D (tonic) - First note
W (whole step) up - E
H (half step) up - F
W (whole step) up - G
W (whole step) up - A
H (half step) up - B
W (whole step) up - C
W (whole step) up - D (octave)
From this pattern, we can see that in the D natural minor scale, the notes F and C are naturally flat compared to the corresponding notes in the D major scale.
Therefore, to make the given D major scale minor, we need to add flats to the notes F and C. So the correct answer is:
F and C
