circle of fifths

 * The sharp side of the circle of fifths can be read off directly from the white keys on a piano's octave (by making the appropriate jumps):   Do–So–Re–La–Mi–Ti–Fi. Also, the flat side of the circle of fifths can almost be read off entirely from the black keys on a piano's octave (with the exception of Fa):    Do–Fa–Te–Me–Le–Ra–Se.
