An earlier tutorial covered the basics of key signatures, and looked at the key signatures for the major keys. This one extends that to include key signatures for the natural minor keys as well. If you're not too clued-up on the basics of the natural minor scale, then there's another tutorial which is also probably worth reading before going much further here.
The table below shows all of the notes contained in each major key and the relative natural minor scale, and the corresponding key signatures
