Aha! Several years ago a friend gave me a copy of a Circle of 5ths worksheet that she found somewhere on the Internet. I searched for it several times and never found it. Until today! Hot off the web from pedalplus.com.
This is one of the best Circle of 5ths worksheets I’ve seen and I’ve used it numerous times with my students. There are two separate worksheets – one for treble clef and one for bass clef. Check them out here:
How soon do you introduce the Circle of 5ths with your students? Just curious.
I introduce the concept of the Circle of 5ths within the first several months of lessons. That’s the way I teach the pentascales. We start with C and then I tell the student that in order to figure out which new scale to add each week, we’re going to use what’s called the Circle of Fifths. We count up to the 5th note of the previous scale to figure out which scale will be next.
I don’t have a very structured plan for written theory work – that’s something I’m planning to improve this year! – but by the time students get to level 4 or 5 in our state Music Progressions evaluations, they have to know this information, so I try to make sure they’ve done some of these kinds of worksheets and other key signature worksheets by then.
both the images above go to bass clef circle of 5ths. please post the treble clef circle of 5ths.
thank you,
