Remember: I make all of my diagrams from the Player's Perspective:
How you would look down at your instrument and see the shapes.
There's no reason to make you flip the shapes around in your head, and memorize them in orientations other than what you see when you look down at your instrument!

This is very important to learn, so you know what notes you are playing in scales, chords, adornos, etc. Knowing the order they go in also makes learning escalas and acordes much easier!
The Major Scales in Sencillas (1 note at a time) are super important to learn first, because they will inform the notes we use in the Escalas en Terceras, Sextas, our acordes, and will be used alot for adornos.
Learn them in the Order I list them, in the order of how common those Tonos are and songs will be in.
Absolute most important thing to learn after the order of the tonos
Beyond these tonos, you wont find many teclas songs in these tonos. But if you like Boton songs as well, you might wanna learn these if you wanna play those songs in their original tonos.
Here are videos showing the Escalas in Terceras, what we use for 99% of Intros/Musica.

Compared to their Relative Major Scales
The Modes of the Major Scale are "different" scales that you can use over specific chords in a Key and do adornos over them and target the notes that will harmonize best. In reality and practical application, they're the exact same thing as the Major Scale of the tono, but starting from different points in that scale.
You can use these mode formulas over any chord or scale degree to achieve cool sounds and different feelings, but if you want to apply these scales best while playing in regional, sticking to the major scale harmony will allow you to do adornos that fit perfectly and sound great no matter what.
