Careful – while the answers so far are not wrong, they are not complete; in the melodic minor, descending notes are altered as well.The A melodic minor scale up and down: A B C D E F# G# A G(natural) F(natural) E D C B ABasically, for any given melodic minor, raise the 6th and 7th notes when ascending, and lower them back down when descending. Nothing special happens to the 3rd of the scale.... Show More
The notes in an a minor scale are as follows:A B C D E F G AAnd when you said there isn’t a key signature, that’s not true. There are just no sharps or flats. It still counts as a key signature.And I’m pretty sure that A B C D E F# G# A would be the melodic minor ascending.I never did much work with that, but that would be the 6th and 7th tones raised a semi-tone....
