Great for anyone who is in need of musical theory help. Certainly for more advanced students and teachers! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ For Music Theorists Only! *by on Reviewed in the United States June 27, 2023* I'm a music teacher. 5 Stars for the author's mastery and presentation of music theory as organized by the circle of 5ths, BUT!... The book is highly technical and many would say a bit obscure in its approach to organizing the way one thinks about the structure of music. If you are a person who needs visual graphics to organize information into patterns, this is the theory book for you, but only after mastering at least 3 college semesters of traditionally presented music theory. This teaches a method of organizing scale and chord structures divorced of any instrument other than the visual diagram of the circle of 5ths. My experience as a teacher ingorms me that most musicians will find it more useful to understand the same information in relation to the keyboard or the fretboard or the lines and spaces of the staff. Buy it if you love exploring the esoteric and theoretical nature of music. It will fit in nicely on your shelf of references covering the more heady methods of analyzing the form of music. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Four Stars *by on Reviewed in the United States September 29, 2017* I received what I expected ## Frequently Bought Together - The Circle of Fifths: visual tools for musicians - The Workbook: visual tools for musicians: Volume 1 - Early Steps - The Chord Wheel: The Ultimate Tool for All Musicians --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/26449186-the-circle-of-fifths-visual-tools-for-musicians](https://www.desertcart.be/products/26449186-the-circle-of-fifths-visual-tools-for-musicians) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-08-16*
