Violin Scales in G Minor: Written on Staff Paper

So now we've learned how to construct and play a G minor scale on the violin. Now let's take a look at it on staff paper; come on. See the key signature is a B flat and E flat those are our accidentals in the scale. One is under G, that is a G. One is under it cause that is our first scale degree. Two is an A if you see between two and three is a V this V represents a half step. Because remember in minor scales between two and three and five, six are half steps. Our fourth scale degrees, C so we'll put a four underneath that, fifth is D and again, we see the five and the sixth has the little V under it, that means it's a half step. Sixth is E flat, seventh is F and the eighth scale degree same as the first is a G; now that is all.
