Practicing scales using the circle of fifths
Start in C major, then go to G major, then D major and so on. Because the perfect fifth interval is wide, this will put the major scale in very different positions on your instrument and will make you focus on what key is coming next.
One may also ask, how do I use Beadgcf?
The letters in BEADGCF stand for all the sharp/flat notes (black keys). Using this ordering of letters lets us quickly know or find a key simply by the number of sharps or flats. So, if you see a key and there are three flats, you start at the left side and count three letters in with B being 1, E being 2, and so on.
In this way, how do you explain the circle of fifths?
Also question is, how do you modulate with the circle of fifths?

A circle of fifths progression is one where the roots of the chords are related to each other specifically by ascending 4ths or descending 5ths. Circle of fifths progressions are considered to be harmonically very strong, in the sense that they pull our ear toward one chord being the tonic, or key chord.
