Interactive Circle of Fifths

Find the neighbors of a key

Moving clockwise through the circle adds sharps; moving counterclockwise adds flats. Adjacent keys share many notes, which is one reason the circle is useful when studying harmony.

Explore relative major and minor

A major key and its relative minor share a key signature. C major and A minor, for example, use the same natural notes. The interactive circle shows these relationships so you can compare them while playing.

Hear a relationship instead of memorizing a diagram

Open the circle in Music Toolbox, choose a key, and try its chord relationships. Use the available playback and instrument controls at a comfortable pace.

Connect theory to a song

Look at a song you are practicing and find its chords on the circle. If the relationship is confusing, members can send Jamin a video or question about the musical passage.
