I wish someone would have demystified the circle of fifths earlier for me. For two years I’ve been planning to animate this video and I finally decided that 2021 was the year that to tackle it. You do not have to memorize the circle of fifths to understand it. You do not have to know the circle of fifths to be a good musician. As many others will attest to - the circle of fifths is a tool that makes making musical decisions easier. If you have ay follow p questions please let me know in the comments. I don’t think that the main takeaway here should be: “Now I know music theory”. The goal here is to show you how this jargon filled concept is actually pretty simple and attainable.

The circle of fifths is kind of at the center of music theory and chord progressions in general. As a follow up we will be going over the practical applications of the circle!

In my next video I am going to go over how to use this knowledge in order to find the key of any song. I hope to expand the other practical uses of the circle of fifths from from there.
