Play Piano – Piano Lessons Online – Basic Piano Lessons for Adults by Ronald Worthy
Familiarization with the Keys Learning piano does not always mean you need to get a reputable professor and pay him some amount of money to learn the basics.
You can start learning all by yourself. All you need to know are the essentials in playing the instrument.
To play the piano properly, you must be familiar with the keys. There are two types of keys on your piano: the black keys and the white keys.
The black keys are grouped into two’s or three’s. Each key represents a single note.
Once you are able to recognize the way the black keys are placed, then it would be easier for you to learn the different notes on the piano.
The white keys or ‘natural notes’ are labeled using the first seven letters of the alphabet: A-B-C-D-E-F and G.
After each G, the name of the note will again start with A.
So how do you label the keys with each note? It’s easy. First thing you need to know is the location of the C note.
The C note can be found on the left of the black keys in two’s. The next white key is the D note, followed by the E, F and G. After the G note, the next white key is named A, followed by a B and another C.
Key C to C is collectively known as an octave.
A modern piano may consist of 5-8 octaves. On a piano consisting of 5 octaves, there are 6 C’s marking the start of each octave. These C notes are named “Lower C”, “Low C”, “Middle C”, “High C”, “Higher C” and “Highest C”. The set of keys located in the middle C is usually where the “actions are” and can easily be spotted because it is also where you can find the name of the piano maker or brand.
The black keys of the piano are also known as ‘flat notes’ and ’sharp notes’ or simply ‘flats’ or ’sharps’. The sharp notes are denoted by a sharp sign which is often times confused with a pound sign. When a note is sharp, it means that the pitch is higher by a half tone. The flat note is symbolized by a stylized lowercase ‘b’. When a note is flat, it means that the pitch is lowered by a half tone.
