C minor is a minor scale based on C, consisting of the pitches C, D, E♭, F, G, A♭, and B♭. Its key signature consists of three flats. Its relative major is E♭ major and its parallel major is C major.

The C natural minor scale is:

{ \omit Score.TimeSignature\relative c' { \key c \minor \time 7/4 c^"C natural minor scale" d es f g aes bes c bes aes g f es d c2 \clef F \key c \minor } }

Changes needed for the melodic and harmonic versions of the scale are written in with accidentals as necessary. The C harmonic minor and melodic minor scales are:

{ \omit Score.TimeSignature \relative c' { \key c \minor \time 7/4 c^"C harmonic minor scale" d es f g aes b c b aes g f es d c2 } }
{ \omit Score.TimeSignature \relative c' { \key c \minor \time 7/4 c^"C melodic minor scale (ascending and descending)" d es f g a b c bes! aes! g f es d c2 } }
