#pianolessons : circle of 5th explained.
The Circle of Fifths is a fundamental concept in music theory, especially for understanding key signatures, chord progressions, and relationships between keys. It's a circular diagram that shows the relationships between the 12 tones of the chromatic scale, organized by fifths.
Starting from any key, if you move clockwise, you ascend by a perfect fifth each time. For example, if you start on C major, the next key clockwise is G major (up a perfect fifth from C), then D major, A major, and so on. Conversely, moving counterclockwise, you descend by a perfect fifth each time.
Each step in the circle adds a new sharp or flat to the key signature. For example, going from C major to G major adds one sharp (F#), from G major to D major adds two sharps (F# and C#), and so on. Similarly, going counterclockwise subtracts flats.
Here are examples of the circle of fifths with key signatures:
1. **C Major**: No sharps or flats
2. **G Major**: One sharp (F#)
3. **D Major**: Two sharps (F# and C#)
4. **A Major**: Three sharps (F#, C#, and G#)
5. **E Major**: Four sharps (F#, C#, G#, and D#)
6. **B Major**: Five sharps (F#, C#, G#, D#, and A#)
7. **F# Major**: Six sharps (F#, C#, G#, D#, A#, and E#)
8. **Db Major**: Five flats (Bb, Eb, Ab, Db, and Gb)
9. **Ab Major**: Four flats (Bb, Eb, Ab, and Db)
10. **Eb Major**: Three flats (Bb, Eb, and Ab)
11. **Bb Major**: Two flats (Bb and Eb)
12. **F Major**: One flat (Bb)
