Ever since I found you, it is so difficult for me to watch other peoples channel, you just teach too well and you are good looking at the same time, May God bless you in anything you do cause you are a blessing to the world❤❤❤
Thank you for clear explanations. This is the third video of yours that I've seen. I'm using my dry erase board for practice. You make learning theory much less intimidating for me. It's actually interesting! You are an awesome teacher!
Wow this was right when I needed it. I've been watching your vids all day and I've learned more today then I have all last year. You have a way of breaking it down, and explaining it in a very informative and understandable way. Thank you!
Gracie, I have been researching on circle of 5'th and that's how landed at this video and let me tell you, it is one of the best lessons on major and minor scales using circle of 5'th, one reason probably is your natural smile and more teaching less drama strategy, every moment of this 33.29 minutes is worth listening. I think, I will keep watching your videos, thanks for doing what you do!!
Hi, Gracie. Very helpful session. I LOVE your “munk” voice, lol! You are gifted with being very pleasant, funny, patient, and never boring. Grateful for your hard work, inspiring me to work harder.
OMG!! I have searched high and low to find the easiest way to understand this damn circle of fifths! And you were the only one who explained it brilliantly! I couldn't recommend your TH-cam videos enough! I am sitting my Grade 5 theory test soon and this is heaven-sent! Thanks so much! Viewing all the way from England!
Happy Valentine's Day My Dear Gracie ! May God keep Bestowing His Blessings on you so that you can have good health and all round prosperity throughout the year ! With lots of lots of love 💕💕💕💕💕 and regards , Jayantàda , 14/2/2023
I have see most of you video I started to watch all ur videos just by watch randomly one of your videos I understood that your level is so higher for me to learn faster and easier ❤❤ Thank you my friend
Thank you! I have a music theory playlist (under the "playlist" section on my channel) if you want to watch the videos in an order that makes sense and builds on itself.
I love that quick way to draw the minor part of the circle💖 I've never been able to memorize it just off the top of my head... It always takes a lot of brain burning thinking and lots of suspicion I'm doing it wrong.
Gracie my girl, you are so good at teaching! Mercy angel! It makes perfect sense. I think I heard the baby in the background. Makes this old man smile big.
Gracie...what a video, beautiful explanation of the famous circle of fifth, now I know how they where those notes come from. Thank you for sharing you just won another student.
Been playing for years. Hobby. Not Profesional. Your method of teaching is very refreshing and sinks into your brain easily because of your approach. Learning more than ever thanks to you. I am becoming a better bass, guitar, piano player because of you. I live out on the Island so it gives me a smile when I hear fire trucks. Lol I used to work in the city. Congratulations on the new addition, and keep up the good work. You're an awesome teacher.
I prefer the mnemonic that you mentioned because it follows a similar theme when it comes to the flats: Father Charles Goes Down And Ends Battle for sharps and for flats: Battle Ends And Down Goes Charles Father
Hello" Gracie.I like very much how you deliver music information.I taught my self as best I could.I joined the Isely Brother Group in 1960,but never studied the reading or theory.Never seem to have the time.I know have to order some of your learning aids JOHN Mitchell grey beard sax player-------------Thank You-------
What a simple yet effective method and explained brilliantly truly an amazing and educational video. Im a self taught pianist,music producer and Emcee and found your video by far the best in explaining the circle.. Keep it up.
I love her, she is so pleasant to learn, listen and understand 💕, thank you 😊 Jesus for individuals that are able to teach well and make learning fun. This is a review for me, but I don't mind listening again, reinforcement is always beneficial.
I love your clear descriptions and explanations, Gracie. Especially appreciated you video on minors-has been confusing for me-and secondary dominant. If you’re looking for another topic: tritone substitution.
Sweet. Really love writing out the minor circle part. Your prior major scale video allowed me to figure this out before I saw this vid. I've been trying to drill flashcards (what are the notes in the Gbminor scale?) and I came up with something based on your order of sharps and flats. Bm and Em (the lower notes of the B-C and E-F pairs that are only separated by a half-step) are sharp minor keys as are any keys with a sharp in the name (F#m). Everything else is flat (Cm, Gm, etc [excepting, of course, A which most folks learn early on has no sharps or flats]). Then use the order of sharps or flats to find the accidentals. For sharps go to the next letter (B to C, F# to G, etc.) and that's the last accidental in the order of sharps. B minor means that you'll use C in the order (F,C) so the scale is B, C#, D, E, F#, G, A. Now you know which notes are sharps and how many sharps there are. G# minor means you'll use A in the order (F,C,G,D,A) so the scale is G#,A#,B,C#,D#,E,F#. Flats are similar. Go to the next letter and use the order of flats to note where non-flat notes start and use all the flats up to, but not including, that one. D minor means you'll use E to see that's where non-flats start (B,E [you won't make E flat]) so the scale is D,E,F,G,A,Bb,C. Bb minor means you'll use C in the order (B,E,A,D,G,C [you won't make C flat]) so the scale is Bb,C,Db,Eb,F,Gb,Ab. Now you know Bb minor has 5 flats and what they are. What if someone gives you something crazy like a Gb minor to figure out? Well, here the method breaks down and you have to draw out the circle of fifths to realize that Gb should actually be considered F# so you can figure out a real scale instead of a crazy scale (Gb,Ab,Bbb,Cb,Db,Ebb,Fb). Easier to deal with 3 sharps than 9 flats in a 7-letter scale. But, if someone asks you what the notes are in a real scale then you can use the order of sharps and flats and the next letter trick to figure it out.
Thanks for the lesson of minor scales and I appreciate you give a chance for us to figure out the equivalents. Also your game boy earings are very cool!
Mnemonic suggestion: Remember that the order of sharps in the circle of 5th starts with F. That is all to remember. Then you can construct the order yourself. The next sharp is always the 5th degree of the scale A B C D E F G. Explanation: 1st sharp is F. Then counting 5 notes starting with F: F G A B C = 2nd sharp is C. Then start with C counting 5 notes: C D E F G = 3rd sharp is G. Then the next one starts with G and counting 5 notes or degrees: G A B C D = 4th note or sharp is D. Then starting with D we get similarly D E F G A = 5th note to be put as sharp is A. Then A B C D E = 6th note or sharp is E. And finally, the last one: Starting with E (the 6th sharp) we get: E F G A B = 7th sharp is B. That is how to construct the order of sharps easily in case you do not remember: FCGDAEB.
This is great review for a songwriter and musician like me. To remember I just sing the sharps like I do my Abc's and then do the same. Basicly make up a song that I like and can remember. Or just pick a tune and change the words to the circle of 5ths and the order of sharps and flats. By the way, what key do you get when you drop a piano down a mine shaft...............A flat miner.😊❤✌
Idk if you read all these comments _ if you do I want you to hear that you are AMAZING! Your ability to teach what you have mastered is incredible. Thank you for sharing music and not making us pay for the knoedge. The fact that you just give your expertise to help others is beautiful. Grateful for you
Thank you. 😁 I really appreciate all of your videos. They are so helpful. I am, most definitely, becoming a patron. 🙂 Ken PS - You definitely have a gift communicating these concepts.
Love your teaching style. Suggestion- i could benefit from homework assigned to me so to put your teaching to practice. For me I am working on sight reading and fingering on keyboard of simple treble and chords ie. ' All of me'
The three at the bottom come from both sides, with flats running from 11 o’clock to 5 o’clock counterclockwise, and sharp keys running from 1 o’clock to 7 o’clock.
Keep in mind your major minor pairs .... they both contain the same notes so they both share the same sharps and flats. Knowing that we can siimply glance at the circle of fifths and tell what notes are sharps and flats just like our major keys. .... Correct ??? UR number one fan ~ Michael
The circle of 5ths and 4ths is the cool tool. I have always used the phrase "Funny Clowns Get Drunk And Eat Bead". Drawing out the circle can even be made more simple. You just have to remember F-C-G and know that the 1st, 4th and 5th grade are the dominant notes and they appear on the circle in the order 4-1-5. First we fill in F-C-G with C in the middle at 12 o'clock as we know that the C Major scale has zero flats and zero sharps. The F (4th grade) will be on its left (at 11 o'clock) and the G (5th grade) will be on it's right (1 o'clock). Now let's move to the scale of G Major. We already have it's 4th grade on it's left (C at 12 o'clock) and we can put it's 5th grade on the right (D at 2 o'clock). And so on. Very simple once you get it.
Hi Gracie, You have a gift to explain and huge knowledge, thank you for your time. Is there any shortcut to identifying any chords to which scale belongs taking into inconsideration the inversions? It might be a silly question to ask but I am a beginner and I don't yet master all the scales hence the chords and their inversions. If I take a new song and I can see the chords and it takes a bit of groundwork to figure them out, which is absolutely fine, I am not scared of putting the hours in. I was wondering if it is an easy way. Enjoy spring :)!
Hi Gracie. Thank you dearly for your videos. I am watching them all and learning loads! I am also sharing them with ones that I love. What a beautiful teacher you are. Thank you. 💦🐢🎈🌹
The reason why those 3 at the bottom are special is because they're the only key signatures for which the enharmonic equivalent doesn't have double-sharps or double-flats, right?

OMG this is like a light house showing the way!!!
So happy to hear that!!
Because I've watched all your previous music theory videos, this was an easy refresher. Thanks, Gracie. All the best to you and your family.
I have see most of you video
I started to watch all ur videos just by watch randomly one of your videos I understood that your level is so higher for me to learn faster and easier ❤❤
Thank you my friend
Thank you! I have a music theory playlist (under the "playlist" section on my channel) if you want to watch the videos in an order that makes sense and builds on itself.

Gracie my girl, you are so good at teaching! Mercy angel! It makes perfect sense. I think I heard the baby in the background. Makes this old man smile big.
Thank you so much for making these videos and for making them available for free. The way you explain stuff makes so much sense!
I've learned so much through your piano videos..im grateful
All your videos are excellent. You explain everything so clearly. Thank you so much.
Gracie...what a video, beautiful explanation of the famous circle of fifth, now I know how they where those notes come from. Thank you for sharing you just won another student.
You are so welcome!
Been playing for years. Hobby. Not Profesional. Your method of teaching is very refreshing and sinks into your brain easily because of your approach. Learning more than ever thanks to you. I am becoming a better bass, guitar, piano player because of you. I live out on the Island so it gives me a smile when I hear fire trucks. Lol I used to work in the city.
Congratulations on the new addition, and keep up the good work. You're an awesome teacher.
Thank you, Gracie!
Appreciate you breaking things down to an understandable level..
Be good to you 🙏
One way I learnt to memorize the order of sharps is... Father Christmas Gave Dad An Electric Blanket
That is a great way to remember it thank you 👍🏻🤘🏻
@@VernonTate-y1i you're very welcome
Mice Mnemonic!!
Father charles goes down and eats balls
That's the BEST ONE, AND THE ONLY ONE I CAN REMEMBER! then..Blanket exploded and dad got cold feet for the flats!
thank you so much Gracie for teaching me music. I've never had such a great teacher
You rock this theory stuff! Great for everyone, no matter what instrument or age! Thanks, as always!
I prefer the mnemonic that you mentioned because it follows a similar theme when it comes to the flats: Father Charles Goes Down And Ends Battle for sharps and for flats: Battle Ends And Down Goes Charles Father
Finally understand the circle of 5th.....excellent teacher🎉😊
SO helpful. Thank you! You are saving my music theory life.
Can’t wait to see this one!
You just made this so much more simpler for me. Thank you!
Thanks for this knowledge. Your the best teacher who explains this circle of 5th very easy to understand❤

Aw thank you so much Skylar! You are so sweet :) Much appreciated. Glad you found the reinforcement helpful.
Hit the nail squarely! "Anything" being learned---"Sleep on it" No one says it better than Gracie.
Excellent information and presentation, as always. I like the way you draw a star at 5:01. I had to practice a couple of times to get the hang of it.
Im almost 40 and have been playing guitar since i was 13 and am just now understanding how music works works haha pretty rad
Woohoo! Keep at it! :)
A proper teacher. What more can you say. Lovely😊 Subscribed for sure😊
I bought a chord wheel. This adds a new dimension to it!
I love your clear descriptions and explanations, Gracie. Especially appreciated you video on minors-has been confusing for me-and secondary dominant.
If you’re looking for another topic: tritone substitution.
Thank you very much!! Yes good suggestion - I will definitely venture into tritone substitutions eventually
I’ve learned so much from your teachings. Thank you so much.
That is so wonderful to hear! You're very welcome :)
Thanks Gracie for your informative videos! Also I would like too see some more of the ones where you are performing! Keep up the good work!

I just use "Fred Can't Get Down And Eat Bacon"
Yeah we should know it this way because then it’s not random. There’s a reason the notes are in that order and we should know it
Thank you, Gracie! This solved some problems for me.
You are an excellent teacher!
Father Charles Gave Dave An Energy Bar.... anyway thanks for you sharing your knowledge.
Father Christmas Gave Dave An Excellent Bunny!
What a great explanation of how to find the natural minor scales. Thank you so much! 🎸👍🎹
Absolutely excellent set of videos you have. Amazing that I can learn this now. Thanks!
Eagerly waiting for a tutorial about types of modes.
Excellent tutorial , more than expectations
Thanks, so helpful , love your show siroon akhchik
Another helpful lesson. Thanks very much
A lot to memorize lol! But it all makes sense. Thanks for the easy explaination.
Really nice , Im ur big fan , i have a request if u pls plz take a class about arpeggio , i will be very happy ....plzzzz
Ooo La La , you’ve got it.

Thank you Gracie!!
Its easy to remember order of #. You have to memorize first two: FC. The rest goes as in musical alphabet after F and C in pairs: GD, AE, B.
Excellent, thank you, Angel.

I remember the order of flats as it's the tuning of a 7 string bass, and sharps is just the reverse.
The circle of 5ths and 4ths is the cool tool. I have always used the phrase "Funny Clowns Get Drunk And Eat Bead". Drawing out the circle can even be made more simple. You just have to remember F-C-G and know that the 1st, 4th and 5th grade are the dominant notes and they appear on the circle in the order 4-1-5.

Thanks your a great teacher, makes it all sound simple, now I’ve just got to try to remember it!😊
You're great! Thank you so much

The reason why those 3 at the bottom are special is because they're the only key signatures for which the enharmonic equivalent doesn't have double-sharps or double-flats, right?
