The circle of fifths is a very clear way of representing music and pitch relationships. It is especially helpful when learning key signatures and scales. Take a look at and study the circle of fifths and see if you can learn more than the Concert Bb scale from memory on your instrument. You may be surprised by how easy it is.
Remember the order of flats is: B E A D G C F. The order of sharps is the reverse: F C G D A E B. So, if a scale has 2 flats, it will be the first two flats (Bb and Eb). If a scale has two sharps the sharps will be the first two (F# and C#). These flats and sharps would appear in the appropriate order in the key signature.
