a quick tip: to get to the next major scale, take the previous one and count 5 letters ahead starting with that one. for example, G major: G, A, B, C, D. the next major scale is D major.
same goes for minor but 4 letters.

omg an even better tip: so all you really need to know is C major and A minor, with as we should know has no accidentals. so, for example, majors, if we want to get to the next major, just count forward by 5 notes. and for the flat one, count backwards by 5 notes. for minor, same thing for both sharps and flats. also just know that the largest key signature with sharps we are learning here has FCGDAE as sharps and for flats we have BEADGC as flats.
