ABOUT THE CIRCLE OF FIFTHS The circle of fifths shows the pitches in a order of perfect fifths in the 12 tone equal temperament, generally shown as a circle with the pitches (and their corresponding keys) in a clockwise progression. Musicians and composers often use the circle of fifths to describe the musical relationships between pitches. Its design is helpful in composing and harmonising melodies, building chords, and modulating to different keys within a composition. it can be used for key changes as the keys next to each other are very close only changing one pitch at a time and it can help you with your 2-5-1s as 2-5-1s are technically just going through the circle of fifths from a anti clockwise direction
