The Circle of Fifths

A map of all twelve keys and their relative minors, arranged by key signature, for finding key signatures and modulating smoothly.

What's inside

• All 12 major keys arranged clockwise by ascending fifths, anticlockwise by ascending fourths
• Each key's relative minor on an inner ring, sharing the same key signature
• Sharp and flat counts marked around the outer ring
• A "how it works" panel on the sharp/flat pattern and the inner/outer ring relationship
• A "using it while composing" panel: finding key signatures fast, modulating to neighbours, picking relative minors, building progressions
