We will now consider a Harmonic Minor scale.

For example, here is the G Harmonic Minor scale, where G is the Tonic.

Some intervals from the Tonic are identical with those from the G Major –
2nd, 4th, 5th, 7th and 8ve (perfect octave). Since they are identical, they keep
the same names.

The 3rd and 6th intervals are different and therefore need a new name.
We will now consider a Natural Minor scale, for example G Natural Minor.

All intervals are the same as the Harmonic Minor scale, except for the 7th,
which therefore needs a new name.

We can now assemble on all the intervals produced by the major and minor
scales based on one key-note: in this case, G –

The intervals illustrated above are called diatonic as they only contain notes
proper to the prevailing key without chromatic alteration.
