Circle of 5ths Explained


1. For our purposes the circle of 5ths relates the Major Scales together.
.
2. There are 12 Major scales. So far we have learned C, G, D, F, and Bb in class.
.
3. When you start at C at the TOP, you count every 5 letters to get to the next SCALE.
.
Example: C to G would be C, D, E, F, G and G to D would be G, A, B, C, D
.
4. When starting at C at the TOP, going LEFT, you count every 4 letters to get to the next scale.
.
Example: C to F would be C, D, E, F and F to Bb would be F, G, A, Bb
.
5. You should be able to fill in the chart using this method. Remember flats (b) begin on the left.
And sharps (#) begin on the right.
