In C major, all the notes are natural, meaning there are no\u00a0<strong>accidentals\u00a0<\/strong>(sharp or flat notes). Moving clockwise around the circle, every step to a new key is an interval of a fifth.<\/p>\n<p>If you move counter-clockwise around the circle, you will find that the distance between notes is a fourth. (You&#8217;ll less likely, but sometimes, hear the term &#8216;circle of fourths&#8217; used as well.)<\/p>\n<p>The first fifth is from C to G major. The key of G major has one accidental, or one sharp note (F#). The next fifth \u2014 from G to D major \u2014 introduces another accidental (C#). In D major, both F and C are sharp. Each step around the circle adds an additional sharp note until you reach C# major, in which all 7 notes are sharp!<\/p>\n<p>Likewise traveling counter-clockwise around the circle from C major introduces one flat note per key, per interval, until you reach Cb major \u2014 all flat notes.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to showing every major key in the chromatic scale, the circle of fifths conveniently nestles in every <strong>relative minor\u00a0<\/strong>key as well. A relative minor key shares the exact same notes as its major scale, but puts them in a different order for a different tonality.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>RELATED: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/camelot-wheel\/\">Using the Camelot Wheel to Mix in Key (What Is It &amp; Why Do I Need It?)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Circle of Fifths: Practical Applications<\/h3>\n<p>First and foremost, it&#8217;s a tool. It won&#8217;t necessarily make you more creative, but it can help you in a variety of practical ways we sometimes overlook.<\/p>\n<h4>Chord Progressions<\/h4>\n<p>The circle of fifths can help you easily identify the chords in a given key as long as you&#8217;ve chosen a tonic (the I chord\/key you&#8217;re in). Let&#8217;s use the following progression as an example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>I &#8211; IV &#8211; V<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is easily one of the most famous chord progressions in Western music \u2014 guaranteed, you&#8217;ve heard it\u00a0<em>all over the place<\/em>. Now let&#8217;s use the key of C major as an example again. C major contains the following chords:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>C &#8211; Dm &#8211; Em &#8211; F &#8211; G &#8211; Am &#8211; Bdim<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And in Roman numerals:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>I &#8211; ii &#8211; iii &#8211; IV &#8211; V &#8211; vi &#8211; vii\u00b0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The circle of fifths can help you identify the IV and V chords instantly, in any key, as long as you&#8217;ve chosen a tonic. How, you ask?\u00a0<strong>Simply moving one scale degree clockwise from the tonic is the V chord; one\u00a0scale degree counter-clockwise from the\u00a0tonic is the IV chord.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-47471 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Circle-of-Fifths-Easily-Navigate-Every-Key_4.png\" alt=\"Circle of Fifths- Easily Navigate Every Key_4\" width=\"500\" height=\"207\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Circle-of-Fifths-Easily-Navigate-Every-Key_4.png 500w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Circle-of-Fifths-Easily-Navigate-Every-Key_4-20x8.png 20w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Circle-of-Fifths-Easily-Navigate-Every-Key_4-385x159.png 385w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In the key of C major, G is the V and F is the IV! In the key of A major, E is the V and D is the IV, and so on. Just like that, you&#8217;ve identified the chords needed to write one of the catchiest progressions in all of music!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Related:\u00a0<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/popular-chords-harmonies-jeff-lorber\/\">How to Figure Out Chords to Songs<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Finding the Relative Minor of Any Major Key<\/h4>\n<p>If the circle you&#8217;re referencing doesn&#8217;t label it outright, you can still use it to identify the relative minor of any major key. All you have to do is move 90\u00ba, or 3 steps to the right, of your major key to find its relative minor.<\/p>\n<p>Starting on F, for example, 3 steps to the right puts you at D. D is the relative minor of F major.<\/p>\n<h4>Knowing All of the Sharps\/Flats in Any Key<\/h4>\n<p>Trying to memorize key signatures for all 12 keys is tough to do. Luckily, the circle of fifths can help with that.<\/p>\n<p>We mentioned earlier that moving clockwise around the circle adds one sharp note per step. Moving counter-clockwise, we add one flat note per step. But how do we know which sharp note to add? Enter, the\u00a0<strong>order of sharps and flats.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As if music theory wasn&#8217;t already complicated enough, there&#8217;s a particular order in which sharp and flat notes are added to key signatures as the circle of fifths represents.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Sharps:\u00a0<\/strong>FCGDAEB<\/li>\n<li><strong>Flats:\u00a0<\/strong>BEADGCF<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>How do we make sense of this? Starting at C major, moving one degree clockwise, lands us on G major. G major has one sharp note, which, accordingly to the order of sharps, is F#. D major has two sharps: F# and C#. A major has three sharps: F#, C#, and G#. And so on&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Moving counter-clockwise, we refer to the order of flats in the exact same way. F major has one flat note. If we know our order of flats, we know that note is Bb.<\/p>\n<h3>And that&#8217;s the circle of fifths!<\/h3>\n<p>If you&#8217;re like me, you&#8217;re probably more confused now than before!
