The Circle of Fifths is a musical tool that illustrates the relationships between key signatures and the twelve tones of the chromatic scale. It is represented as a circle, with the key of C major (or A minor) at the top, and each subsequent key is a fifth higher than the previous one as you move clockwise around the circle. The circle is divided into twelve equal segments, each representing a specific key or key signature. It is a useful tool for understanding key relationships, chord progressions, and modulation in music theory.\n
