B Minor Scale

The B minor scale is a seven-note scale that has a dark and melancholic sound typical of minor scales. It is based on the note B and follows a specific sequence of intervals (whole steps and half steps).

Intervals Between Notes

B to C# : Whole step
C# to D : Half step
D to E : Whole step
E to F# : Whole step
F# to G : Half step
G to A : Whole step
A to B : Whole step

This pattern creates the minor sound, characterized by the minor third (B to D).

B minor has two sharps in its key signature: F# and C#.

It is the relative minor of D major (they share the same key signature).

Common in classical, rock, and folk music to evoke sadness or introspection.
