Unit 6, Lesson 5 of 7
Brainlag Music

To the relative

Music theory, Modulation, 10 minutes

The same key signature, a different tonic: the raised 7th shows the way into the relative minor.

Same signature

The relative shares the key signature. Moving from a major key to its relative minor, the sign is the minor key's raised 7th: in C major moving to A minor, G sharp. Moving the other way, the raised 7th disappears.

The rest of this lesson and its 4 practice questions are in Brainlag Music Theory.
