* Know that the harmonic minor scale uses the same notes as the natural minor scale, but with a raised 7th (M7).
* Know that the harmonic minor scale uses the same notes as the major scale, but with a flatted 3rd and 6th.
* Know that the harmonic minor scale consists of the whole-half pattern w-h-w-w-h-+-h.
* Practice the Ahm scale in open position, both one octave and all notes.
* Know that the diatonic chords of the harmonic minor scale are i, ii{{dim}}, III+, iv, V, VI, vii{{dim}}.
* Know that the diatonic dominant-function chords of the harmonic minor scale contain the leading tone (M7), which makes their dominant - tonic resolution stronger than natural minor.
* Practice the chord progressions above, listening for the minor tonality with the strengthened dominant-tonic resolutions due to the raised 7th.
* Know that an augmented chord consists of a root note and the M3 and A5 above.
* Know that augmented chords consist entirely of M3 intervals between its member notes, including the augmented 5th to the octave.
* Practice the augmented chord shapes above.
* Know what enharmonic notes are and why their different spellings can suggest different harmonic functions.
