What is the Harmonic Minor scale?
Harmonic minor is the natural minor scale with a raised seventh. Raising that note restores the leading tone, so the dominant chord becomes major and resolves strongly to the tonic. The step and a half between the sixth and seventh gives the scale its distinctive colour.
E♭ Harmonic 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.
