What Are Scales? 
Scales are the series of notes which are arranged in an ascending or descending manner.
Minor Scales
The minor scale has been derived because of the reason that they express a feeling more intimate sounding than that of the major scale which express more joyous and cheerful sound. When you play all the notes in a minor key signature, you are playing the minor scale.
Minor Scales In Every Key:

C = C – D – Eb – F – G – Ab – Bb – C
D = D – E – F – G – A – Bb – C – D
E = E – F# – G – A – B – C – D – E
F = F – G – Ab – Bb – C – Db – Eb – F
G = G – A – Bb – C – D – Eb – F – G
A = A – B – C – D – E – F – G – A
B = B – C# – D – E – F# – G – A – B
C# = C# – D# – E – F# – G# – A – B – C#
