To make the scale minor, flats need to be added to the notes E and A. So the correct answer is:
B and E
To make the scale minor, you need to flatten the third, sixth, and seventh scale degrees. In the given scale, the third degree is F, the sixth degree is B, and the seventh degree is C. Therefore, you need to add flats to F and C to make the scale minor. So the correct answer is F and C.
To determine which notes need to be flattened to make a scale minor, we need to understand the pattern of a minor scale.
A minor scale follows the pattern: Whole step, Half step, Whole step, Whole step, Half step, Whole step, Whole step.
Let's apply this pattern to the scale in question, starting on the tonic note D:
- D to E (Whole step)
- E to F# (Half step)
- F# to G (Whole step)
- G to A (Whole step)
- A to B (Half step)
- B to C# (Whole step)
- C# to D (Whole step)
The notes in this scale are D, E, F#, G, A, B, C#, D.
To turn this scale into a D minor scale, we need to flatten certain notes.
In the original scale, the natural notes are D, E, G, and A. To create a D minor scale, we need to flatten the notes F#, C#, and B.
So, the notes D, E, F, G, A, Bb, C, D would make the scale minor.
The correct answer is: F and C
