In my Introduction, I mentioned the circle of fifths and I will include a paragraph here because it ties in with the subject.
“Our tutor introduced to us a method called the circle of fifths, which you can use to create beats for your bars to create a composition. To memorize the cycle of fifths I have thought of my own rhymes my brain can remember, those being, ‘Carol gets drunk and eats butterflies’ and ‘Carol finds B.E.A.D.S’ of course the S isn’t included but it makes it easier to remember. The left side of the Circle of fifths represents the ♭ notes, and the right side represents the ♯ notes. The circle of fifths is a diagram used in music that helps to memorize and comprehend the 24 major and minor keys used in music.”
I spent my last time writing out the circle of fifths to memorise it and now I can confidently say I remember it thanks to the rhyme I learnt when I researched the circle of fifths,
This video helped me to understand the circle of fifths better and is what inspired the rhymes that helped me remember the circle of fifths.
I wrote out the Circle of fifths and how C major and other notes can be used by utilising the Circle of fifths.
“The circle can be easily used to find out the common chord progression for basic keys. The circle of fifths shows every major key with its corresponding minor key (of the Aeolian mode). This can be used as the vi chord in a progression. “
