Find out how to draw the Circle of Fifths and why it's so incredibly useful! Learn how to use the circle of fifths to work out all the major keys, all the minor keys and all their key signatures. When it comes to music theory, the circle of fifths is one of the most important concepts you can learn. Useful for notation, transposition, understanding key signatures, and familiarising yourself with the general structure of music, it is well worth your time to add the circle of fifths to your vault of music theory knowledge. The circle of fifths can seem a little overwhelming at first, but you will soon realise how easy it really is to understand. The circle of fifths is the relationship among the 12 tones of the chromatic scale, their corresponding key signatures, and the associated major and minor keys. Looking at the circle - the outer section shows the actual key signatures and accidentals, the middle circle represents the corresponding major keys and the inner circle represents the corresponding minor keys. The reason it’s called the circle of fifths is because of the interval relationships between each key signature. Each key, or accidental is a fifth up from the previous. It's amazing how it all works. The circle of fifths is an essential tool in music theory, and you’ll be surprised how often it comes in handy. With the massive amounts of information that musicians need to memorise on a regular basis, we can tell you that the circle of fifths will make your life a lot easier.
