What is the Circle of 5ths?
The Circle of Fifths is a visual musical concept that represents the relationships between twelve musical keys. The concept is based on the perfect fifth interval, which is the distance between a note and the note five scale degrees above it. The circle structure consists of a starting point at 12 o'clock, representing C Major, and a clockwise movement (sharps) and counter-clockwise movement (flats). The Circle of Fifths helps in identifying key signatures, identifying related keys, and identifying relative minor keys. It is also useful for understanding and creating chord progressions and transposing songs. The Circle of Fifths is a visual roadmap of Western tonality, revealing the inherent mathematical and sonic properties of music.
