It is important for a musician to memorise all the related major-minor pairs as this is very useful for songwriting and improvisation. Feel free to create a mnemonic to make it easier to remember. I memorised these just by playing them over and over, worked well for me 🙂

C Major  – A minor

D Major – B minor

E Major – C# minor

F Major – D minor

G Major – E minor

A Major – F# minor

B Major – G# minor
