[musictlk] The Circle of Fifths

Tue Jul 8 23:26:00 UTC 2014

Hi,

So when I write out Linda's list for my friend, would it be best 
to write the scales in order of how many flats?
If that makes any sense

Hi all,

One important thing to remember is that the circle of fifths is 
meant
to be a circle.  What would be really helpful is if you could 
have a
tactile image of it made with the keys written in appropriate 
places
on the circle, like the numbers on the face of a clock.  12:00 
would
be your C major, with no sharps or flats.  Each time you go 
clockwise
around the circle, you add a sharp.  Each time you go
counter-clockwise, you add a flat.  You have to switch once you 
hit
C-sharp when going counter-clockwise to flats.  I hope this 
helps.
Linda's list is very helpful for spelling out the keys, but the 
circle
will really help you to learn the relationships between the keys
rather than just what notes are in each diatonic scale.

 Yes, the key of c is my preferable key as well.
 I can do key of g on the occation and the key of f, but that's
 about it.

 Hi,
 This listing is really helpful to me also.  I tend to play 
mostly
 in the key
 of C because I haven't memorized all of the sharps and flats; I
 just know
 some of them.  So thanks for providing this list!

 Hi Marissa,

 This doesn't make sense to me.  Since we don't have a copy of 
the
 document
 you refer to, it's impossible for us to help you with the 
reading
 of said
 document.

 The circle of fifths is as follows:

 The keys are, going up for the sharps: C, G, D, A, E, B, 
F-Sharp,
 C-Sharp.

 Going down for the flats: C, F, B-Flat, E-Flat, A-Flat, D-Flat,
 G-Flat,
 C-Flat.

 The C scale is as you said.
 The G scale is G, A, B, C, D, E, F-Sharp, G.
 The D scale is D, E, F-Sharp, G, A, B, C-Sharp, D.
 The A scale is A, B, C-Sharp, D, E, F-Sharp, G-Sharp, A.
 The E scale is E, F-Sharp, G-Sharp, A, B, C-Sharp, D-Sharp, E.
 The B scale is B, C-Sharp, D-Sharp, E, F-Sharp, G-Sharp, 
A-Sharp,
 B.
 The F-Sharp scale is F-Sharp, G-Sharp, A-sharp, B, C-Sharp,
 D-Sharp,
 E-Sharp, F-Sharp.
 The C-Sharp scale is C-Sharp, D-Sharp, E-Sharp, F-Sharp, 
G-Sharp,
 A-Sharp,
 B-Sharp, C-Sharp.

 The F scale is F, G, A, B-Flat, C, D, E, F.
 The B-Flat scale is B-Flat, C, D, E-Flat, F, G, A, B-Flat.
 The  E-Flat scale is E-Flat, F, G, A-Flat, B-Flat, C, D, E-Flat.
 The A-Flat scale is a-Flat, B-Flat, C, D-Flat, E-Flat, F, G,
 A-Flat.
 The D-Flat scale is D-Flat, E-Flat, F, G-Flat, A-Flat, B-Flat, 
C,
 D-Flat.
 The G-Flat scale is G-Flat, A-Flat, B-Flat, C-flat, D-Flat,
 E-Flat, F,
 G-Flat.
 The C-Flat scale is C-Flat, D-Flat, E-Flat, F-Flat, G-Flat,
 A-Flat, B-Flat,
 C-Flat.

 The key signatures are: C, no sharps or flats; G, one sharp; D,
 two
 sharps; A, three sharps; E, four sharps; B, five sharps; 
F-Sharp,
 six
 sharps; C-Sharp, seven sharps; F, one flat; B-Flat, two flats;
