05 Raising B flat to B natural
For D melodic minor both the sixth and the seventh note need to be raised
during the ascent. This means B rises to B natural and C rises to C#.
03 A flat and a sharp in the same scale
Even though D minor has a B in the key signature, the raised 7th will still be
labelled as a sharp. Play with your right hand: D-E-F-G-A-B -C#-D.
06 The notes to play
On the descent you need to lower the sixth and seventh back to the notes of
the D natural minor scale: D-C-B -A-G-F-E-D.04 The left hand
Follow the same notes as for the right hand, starting two octaves lower. Practise
the scale with hands separately, then together.D melodic minor
