How to form diatonic chords of E flat minor scale?

E Flat Minor Scale

E♭ – F – G♭ – A♭ – B♭ – C♭ – D♭ – E♭ are the notes of the E flat minor scale.

Diatonic chords are formed by stacking two generic third notes above each scale note.

E Flat Minor Diatonic Chords

These are the seven minor scale diatonic chords that come from the E flat minor scale.

Each diatonic chord is labelled with a roman numeral number.

All natural minor scales follow the same patten:

i,  iiº,  III,  iv,  v,  VI,  VII

We use uppercase roman numeral numbers to represent major chords, lowercase to represent minor chords, uppercase with a small plus sign to represent augmented chords, and lowercase with a small circle to represent diminished chords.

First, fourth and fifth chords of a natural minor scale will always be minor. Third, sixth and seventh chords of a natural minor scale will always be major. Second chord of a natural minor scale will always be diminished.

The seven diatonic chords formed from the key of E flat minor are:

i.  E♭ – G♭- B♭ (E♭ minor chord)

iiº.  F – A♭ – C♭ (F diminished chord)

III.  G♭ – B♭ – D♭ (G♭ major chord)

iv.  A♭- C♭ – E♭ (A♭ minor chord) 

v.  B♭- D♭ – F (B♭ minor chord)

VI.  C♭- E♭ – G♭ (C♭ major chord) 

VII.  D♭ – F – A♭(D♭ major chord)

These are the chords that are diatonic to the E flat minor scale. They are directly related to the E flat minor key and make a harmonic sound for music in the same key.
