However, the bottom two key signatures in the circle of fifths have two different names and can either be written with flats or sharps. Followed by B flat major which has two flats (B flat and E flat) and so on. To learn the order of the flats use the acronym “BEAD” and the letters GCF. So the first key signature going anticlockwise from C Major is the key signature of F major which contains one flat (B flat). If you move counterclockwise from C major (top of the circle), the key signatures use flats instead of sharps. The sentence “Fat Cats Go Down Alleys Eating Bread” is used to learn the oder of the sharps in the key signatures. Followed by D major which has two sharps ( F sharp plus C sharp). So, the key of G major has one sharp which is F sharp. Moving clockwise, each key has one sharp added. To memorise the circle of fifths, start with the key of C which has no sharps nor flats.

This is to avoid the repetition of accidentals in the score.
