Bass clarinet?

Q: I play the bass clarinet in my band and I have to play all my minor scales for a grade. could someone please help me with all the notes??

A: Assuming that you know all of your major scales:

* the natural minor has a flat 3, 6, and 7 both ways.
* the melodic minor has a flat 3 going up but a flat 7,6, and 3 going down
* the harmonic minor has a flat 3 and 6 both ways.

In C
major C D E F G A B C B A G F E D C
natural C D Eb F G Ab Bb C Bb Ab G F Eb D C
melodic C D Eb F G A B C Bb Ab G F Eb D C
harmonic C D Eb F G Ab B C B Ab G G Eb D C

Using the relative key signature is only effective when doing the natural form. For many players, adjusting the major scale is the easiest method. This assumes you know all of the major scales very well.

Learning it this way also helps when you want to learn the modals...
