What Is The Circle Of Fifths?
The circle of fifths is a terrific tool to use when introducing students to key signatures, scales, and chords.
When I show my piano students how it can help them memorize their scales and key signatures, they fall in love with the idea of using the “rainbow circle with all the sharps and flats on it”!

Tips for using the circle of fifths reference sheets in piano lessons
- I use these reference sheets with my piano students as we focus on learning scales, chord progressions, and arpeggios.
- I introduce the scale, arpeggio, and chord progression in the same key to all of my students during the same week so we can build studio community and a little friendly competition.
- When my students play the scale, cadence, and arpeggio correctly in their lesson the next week, they color that section of their circle of fifths and get to learn the next key around the circle.
- Each week when I introduce a new scale to my students, I use the circle of fifths to help them discover the key signature, see how far they’ve traveled around the circle, and see what’s coming up next.
