How does Theo Wheel work?
Theo Wheel is a music theory tool that combines the Circle of Fifths and the Nashville Number System. Whether it's learning scales, chords, notes or keys - Theo can help you learn and memorize music theory.
Please watch this How To Use Theo Wheel video for a more in depth tutorial on how to use your Theo Wheel.
What does Theo Wheel help with?
Theo Wheel helps with learning and memorize notes, chords and positions in different keys. What's unique about Theo Wheel is that it shows you everything you need to see in relation to a specific key, and blocks out everything you don't need to see.
It helps greatly with songwriting, transposing and referencing. It's durable and fits in a guitar case or backpack for easy transportation.
The Circle of Fifths is the relationship between the twelve tones of the chromatic scale, their corresponding key signatures and their associated major and minor keys moving in intervals of a fifth.

The Nashville Number System is a way of transcribing music by showing the scale degree on which a chord is built.

Why are there roman numerals on the Theo Wheel?
The upper case roman numerals indicate the place of each note and chord within the major scale. The lower case roman numerals indicate the place of each note and chord within the relative minor scale.
IE: In the key of C Major, the I (1) chord is a C, II (2) is D, etc. The same pattern applies to the relative minor scale.
Where are the Major, Minor and Diminished Chords on the Theo Wheel?
The Major Chords are referenced as "MAJ", or roman numerals I, IV, V (1, 4, 5).
The Minor Chords are referenced as "MIN", or roman numerals II, III, VI (2, 3, 6).
The Diminished Chord is referenced as "DIM", or roman numeral VII (7).
What are the notations in the top right window of the major scale? IE: 1#, 2#, 3#, etc.
Those are the amount of sharps or flats in a specific key, also called accidentals. For example, the key of G shows a 1#, which means that there is 1 sharp note in that key. When we look at the rest of Theo Wheel, we can see that the VII is an F#.
Why does it look like certain chords are mis-named? IE: In the key of D, the VII (7) is named as D flat (Db), when really it should be C sharp (C#).
In order to make Theo Wheel compact and versatile, we had to get creative. While the VII (7) in the key of D is in fact a C sharp (C#), if we were to notate as such it would have made other chords in different keys incorrect. Since D flat (Db) and C sharp (C#) are technically the same note, we change this notation.
To help with this issue, there's a feature in the top right hand corner of each note - the number of sharps and/or flats in that key. This is a way to trigger that a note needs to be changed and helps guide as to what they are.
For example, in the key of D, the first note (D) shows there are two sharp notes in that key (2#). As you look around the major scale, you can quickly tell that the notes in questions are the III (3) and VII (7). Since the key of D Major has the 2# mentioned - we know they are not going to be G flat (Gb) and D flat (Db), but instead will be F sharp (F#) and C sharp (C#).
