ah, but what if you are playing in A# minor and you need to raise the leading tone up on the harmonic minor? that’s when you’d need a double sharp.

what is the point of double sharps? if the composer had the note G and wanted to double sharp it why wouldnt he just put an A down on the sheets? wouldnt that make alot more sense and make it less complicated?

What exactly is the circle of fifths for? How is it incorporated into a song? By the way, I am totally music illiterate and am just interested in learning to play the piano. Is there an easier way?:) You’re doing a great job, by the way.

Man, this circle of fifth is very hard, but I think I got it (somehow)! Little practice and that will work.
And, you are very good teacher, THANKS. This really help me to improve my technic.
THANK YOU!!

that’s a good goal, …
that’s a good goal, my focus is to just present information, there’s no need to be strict about it, if you don’t want to learn the circle of fifths yet, skip ahead and get info on the topic you need help with. It can be a lot of work, but it’s the same as anything else, anything that is worth something is going to take work to achieve.
Don’t let it …
Don’t let it confuse you, Try checking out the newer version I did of this in the summer, I think i explain it more clearly.
huaaah, that circle …
huaaah, that circle of fifths is so hard to learn! I googled it and it didn`t go with that “Battle Ends And Down Goes Charles Father” on the flot-side. Have I watched wrong picture or what? The sharp side goes same way( Charles Father Goes Down And Ends Battle) When do I supposed to use this while playing? I`m confused, this is hard:S
why is everything …
why is everything with the piano so complicated… I just want to play songs without all the mumbo jumbo confusion of death I mean oops circle of fifths…
when I first started playing the piano I was very excited… but as I go further into it it feels more like work than it is play.. I learn more in 3 days just from watching tutorials on youtube than I have in 10 piano lessons.. I don’t exactly want to be able to play every song… I just want to be able to play the songs I want
