Hi,

Thank you so much.  This was very helpful.  The way my copy is 
written confused me.  I can just write down the scales as you put 
them.
Again, thank you so much.  That was very helpful.

Hi Marissa,

This doesn't make sense to me.  Since we don't have a copy of the
document you refer to, it's impossible for us to help you with 
the
reading of said document.

The circle of fifths is as follows:

The keys are, going up for the sharps: C, G, D, A, E, B, F-Sharp, 
C-Sharp.

Going down for the flats: C, F, B-Flat, E-Flat, A-Flat, D-Flat, 
G-Flat, C-Flat.

The C scale is as you said.
The G scale is G, A, B, C, D, E, F-Sharp, G.
The D scale is D, E, F-Sharp, G, A, B, C-Sharp, D.
The A scale is A, B, C-Sharp, D, E, F-Sharp, G-Sharp, A.
The E scale is E, F-Sharp, G-Sharp, A, B, C-Sharp, D-Sharp, E.
The B scale is B, C-Sharp, D-Sharp, E, F-Sharp, G-Sharp, A-Sharp, 
B.
The F-Sharp scale is F-Sharp, G-Sharp, A-sharp, B, C-Sharp, 
D-Sharp,
E-Sharp, F-Sharp.
The C-Sharp scale is C-Sharp, D-Sharp, E-Sharp, F-Sharp, G-Sharp,
A-Sharp, B-Sharp, C-Sharp.

The F scale is F, G, A, B-Flat, C, D, E, F.
The B-Flat scale is B-Flat, C, D, E-Flat, F, G, A, B-Flat.
The  E-Flat scale is E-Flat, F, G, A-Flat, B-Flat, C, D, E-Flat.
The A-Flat scale is a-Flat, B-Flat, C, D-Flat, E-Flat, F, G, 
A-Flat.
The D-Flat scale is D-Flat, E-Flat, F, G-Flat, A-Flat, B-Flat, C, 
D-Flat.
The G-Flat scale is G-Flat, A-Flat, B-Flat, C-flat, D-Flat, 
E-Flat, F, G-Flat.
The C-Flat scale is C-Flat, D-Flat, E-Flat, F-Flat, G-Flat, 
A-Flat,
B-Flat, C-Flat.


The key signatures are: C, no sharps or flats; G, one sharp; D, 
two
sharps; A, three sharps; E, four sharps; B, five sharps; F-Sharp, 
six
sharps; C-Sharp, seven sharps; F, one flat; B-Flat, two flats;
E-Flat, three flats; A-Flat, four flats; D-Flat, five flats; 
G-Flat,
six flats; C-Flat, seven flats.
