The harmonic minor scale is one of the three main minor scales. Its greatest quality is that it allows us to write functional harmony, even though we're not in the major key anymore! The harmonic minor may only be one note different than the natural minor (also known as the 'aeolian mode') but that raised 7th note makes all the difference to how this scale sounds and how it can be used in practice.
