Table with fifths from C to Cb and C# w/ full major scales
| Cb | Gb | Db | Ab | Eb | Bb | F | C | G | D | A | E | B | F# | C# | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| Oct | Cb | Gb | Db | Ab | Eb | Bb | F | C | G | D | A | E | B | F# | C# |
Notice the 4ths and 7ths - this is where the notes flatten/sharpen when shifting keys up/down a fifth (or down/up a fourth).
Fifths and equivalents
All columns are equivalent pitches. Each cell is a perfect fifth above the cell to its left.
| Dbb | Abb | Ebb | Bbb | Fb | Cb | Gb | Db | Ab | Eb | Bb | F | C |
| C | G | D | A | E | B | F# | C# | G# | D# | A# | E# | B# |
| B# | F## | C## | G## | D## | A## | E## | B## | F### | C### | G### | D### | A### |
Rules and Guidelines
The 1.____ scale a perfect fifth 2.____ the current scale contains the same notes but the 3.___ in the current scale is 4.____ to become the 5.____ of the new scale.
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| major | above | P4 | sharped | M7 |
| minor | above | M6 | sharped | M2 |
| major | below | M7 | flattened | P4 |
| minor | below | M2 | flattened | m6 |
Equivalent Pitches for Scales Below/Above by Interval
Modulating from any major scale to a new major scale ___ interval above/below the original key has ___ same pitches and #/b per note:
Which means the most harmonic key changes are:
| - Common Notes | Diatonic Keys | Non-Diatonic Keys |
