Question

How to remember the circle of fifths?

Answer 1

Fat Cats Go Down Alleys Eating Bacon is the order of the sharps, and also is the key to your circle of 5ths. I would write that out (F♯CGDAEB) of on a piece of paper. The key of C has zero sharps, so put a 0 above C. The next scale that has only 1 sharp is G, so put a one above G. D has 2, A has 3, E has 4, etc. So using FCGDAEB you can know both the order of the sharps as well as the circle of 5ths for the sharps.
