12.53Use the Circle of Fifths physically
At the piano, play:
E7 → A
then:
A7 → D
then:
D7 → G
then:
G7 → C
then:
C7 → F
You are literally traveling around the circle.
This is one of the best ways to memorize the Circle of Fifths because you're hearing its harmonic meaning, not just reciting letters.
