Welcome to the third Circle of fifths lesson.
It contains lots of piano and treble clef diagrams, and mp3 audio files to link all the relevant material together.
Below are detailed steps to understand and draw the minor sharp scales on the Circle of fifths diagram.
Please read the first two lessons before continuing, as they contain background material needed in this lesson.

In 2. Major sharps, we drew the major sharp scale names (in red) using the Father Charles Goes Down And Ends Battle phrase starting at 11 o'clock with note F, moving clockwise.
To draw the minor sharp scale names, this phrase will be re-used in the same clockwise direction, but the first letter will start 3 hours earlier - at 8 o'clock.
