Question

write a short note on relative scale​

Answer 1

Explanation:

In music, relative keys are the major and minor scales that have the same key signatures (enharmonically equivalent), meaning that they share all the same notes but are arranged in a different order of whole steps and half steps. A pair of major and minor scales sharing the same key signature are said to be in a relative relationship.[1][2] The relative minor of a particular major key, or the relative major of a minor key, is the key which has the same key signature but a different tonic; this is as opposed to parallel minor or major, which shares the same tonic. Relative keys are a type of closely related keys, the keys between which most modulations occur, because they differ by no more than one accidental. Relative keys are the most closely related, as they share exactly the same notes.[3] To distinguish a minor key from its relative major, one can look to the first note/chord of the melody, which usually is the tonic or the dominant (fifth note); The last note/chord also tends to be the tonic. A "raised 7th" is also a strong indication of a minor scale (instead of a major scale): For example, C major and A minor both have no sharps or flats in their key signatures, but if the note G♯ (the seventh note in A minor raised by a semitone) occurs frequently in a melody, then this melody is likely in A minor, instead of C major.

Answer 2

Relative scales are scales that share the same set of notes — much like you have DNA in common with your relatives. Every major scale has a relative minor scale, and every minor scale a relative major.

In music, relative keys are two different keys in which one is major and one is minor, and they share a common set of notes. For example, with the G Major scale above, those notes are also functional for the E minor scale, if you start and end on E instead of G – E F# G A B C D E.
