The Circle of 5ths and All It Reveals | Ep58

The Musician Toolkit with David Lane

No single visual aid shows more aspects of how music works than the Circle of 5ths (sometimes called Circle of Keys and Circle of 4ths). Besides its more widely known uses for showing the order of sharps and flats along with the keys in sharp and flat order, it also shows scale degree frequency, primary and secondary triads, chord groupings, and more. From the basic to the obscure, this will get into the Circle of 5ths and all that it reveals.
