Great lesson. Just a minor thing (no pun intended) - at http://www.hearandplay.com/main/why-the-circle-of-fourths-is-so-important-when-learning-major-scales it is called the circle of fourths. Which makes sense to me as when we work counter clockwise, each scale starts at the fourth from the previous scale, flattening the 7th from that scale.
Am I making sense, or have I missed something?

Dear Jeramine.
Thanks for all the suport you are rendering to me for learning the piano.
I would like to clear one thing about chords of the major scale. To play the chords of the major scale must we use the same scale notes of c major? or each scale have each chords? for example C Major scale is CDEFGABC. The chords are CMajor,Dminor,Eminor,FMajor, GMajor, Aminor,Bdiminished and finally CMajor. right?
In case of D Major scale will it be like this or i am mistaken? The D Major scale is DEF#GABC#D. So the chords will go this way or different way? DMajor, Eminor,F#minor,GMajor,AMajor,Bminor,C#diminished and finally Dmajor. Do please let me know if i am right or wrong. thanks a lot.
