A free printable, blank circle of fifths to fill in — with a complete answer key. Print it or save as PDF for class or self-study. Prefer to practice on screen? There’s a free game & app ↓
C major is filled in at the top. Working clockwise, write each major key on the outer ring, its relative minor on the inner ring, and count the sharps or flats — each step clockwise adds a sharp, each step counterclockwise adds a flat.
| Position | Major key | Relative minor | Key signature |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | C major | A minor | no sharps or flats |
| 1 | G major | E minor | 1 sharp |
| 2 | D major | B minor | 2 sharps |
| 3 | A major | F♯ minor | 3 sharps |
| 4 | E major | C♯ minor | 4 sharps |
| 5 | B major | G♯ minor | 5 sharps |
| 6 | F♯ major | D♯ minor | 6 sharps |
| 7 | D♭ major | B♭ minor | 5 flats |
| 8 | A♭ major | F minor | 4 flats |
| 9 | E♭ major | C minor | 3 flats |
| 10 | B♭ major | G minor | 2 flats |

Print the blank wheel and fill it in from memory. Start at C major (twelve o’clock) and move clockwise a perfect fifth at a time — G, D, A, E, B, then the enharmonic F♯/G♭, and around through the flats D♭, A♭, E♭, B♭, F and back to C. On the outer ring write the major key; on the inner ring write its relative minor (a minor third below, sharing the same signature); and note how many sharps or flats each key carries. When you’re done, check yourself against the answer key. Repeat until you can complete the whole wheel without a single blank left over.
Copying a completed chart teaches you almost nothing; reproducing it from memory teaches you everything. A blank worksheet forces active recall — the single most reliable way to move a fact into long-term memory. Do it a few times a week and the geography of keys becomes automatic: you’ll read any key signature straight off its position and hear why neighboring keys sound closely related.
Paper is great for testing recall, but repetition is quicker on screen. The circle of fifths game drills the same facts against the clock, and the interactive circle of fifths lets you explore every relationship. For key signatures specifically, the printable key signature chart is a handy companion.
Print the blank wheel, then fill in each major key clockwise from C (top), its relative minor on the inner ring, and the number of sharps or flats. Check yourself against the answer key below. Repeat from memory until you can complete the whole wheel without help.

The 12 major keys around the outer ring (C at the top, moving clockwise by fifths: G, D, A, E, B, F♯/G♭, D♭, A♭, E♭, B♭, F), each key's relative minor on the inner ring, and each key's signature — the count and order of its sharps or flats.
