A little device to aid in memorizing the circle of 5th....
C -> G.  That's all you have to memorize.  Then increment each pair by a
whole step.

C      D      E      F#     Ab      Bb
  \     /   \   /   \   /    \    /     \    /    \
    G      A      B      C#      Eb      F

I'm sure this has been pointed out many times before, but thought it
might help someone.  Of course, you do need to memorize the chromatic
scale.  Arranging your harps in a case is a good way to memorize the COF
painlessly, but some of us don't have cases (or even all 12 harps).  I
call the above the "sawtooth of fifths".
