![]() ![]() Then you go a perfect fifth higher, which takes you to the key of G. Start from the key of C, because it's the only key signature with no alterations (# or b). The Circle of fifths in sharp works clockwise. These two circles are used as cheat sheets to figure out all the key signatures. The Circle of fifths is divided in two parts, the key signature with sharps and the ones with flats. ![]() Note that some of the intervals overlap the other like the augmented fourth and the diminished fifth which are using the same note in theory (F#/Gb), but will be used in different context. G# would be the augmented 5th.īelow is a diagram showing the different intervals up to the octave. Even though it is the same note as G#, the 6th is A, so we have to call the minor 6th of C is Ab. C to A has 4 1/2 tones, but we want a minor 6th which only has 4 tones, so we change or A to an Ab (A flat). Then, figure out the number of tones to know if it is minor or major. Start by counting the number of notes (don't be afraid to count on your fingers, it is more visual that way), so starting from C: C, D, E, F, G, A. When you want to figure out an interval, like a minor 6th. ![]() The adjectives (minor, major, perfect, diminished, augmented) are determined by the number of tones from the root note. The name of the intervals (Unison, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Octave) describe the distance letter to letter from the root note (C to D: second C to E: third etc). Intervals are distance between two notes. ![]()
