What is the Melodic Minor scale?
Melodic minor is the natural minor scale with both the sixth and seventh raised. It smooths out the wide leap of harmonic minor while keeping the strong leading tone. Classical practice lowers both notes again on the way down; jazz keeps the ascending form throughout.
Cis Melodic Minor is a scale, not a key. It has no key signature of its own — music that uses it is normally written in the key signature of its parent scale, with any extra accidentals added as they occur.
