At first glance, piano keyboard with its 88 black and white keys may seem confusing to beginners. But in reality, it's much simpler than it looks. There is a repeating pattern in which all of this is organized. In this article we'll take a quick look at it. After you read it, you will be able to find any note on your keyboard.
Take a closer look at your piano. What do you see? There are white keys, these are called naturals, and black ones which are called both sharps and flats. Do you see a repeating pattern of black ones? They come in groups of two and three alternating over and over. This is the basic pattern we will use in order to identify notes.
Although a grand piano has 88 keys (electric pianos have less), there are only seven notes that you need to learn: A, B, C, D, E, F, G. Now let's go and find those notes on the keyboard. Everything is organized in a 12-note pattern - 7 naturals (white) and 5 sharps and flats (black). One 12-note pattern has one group of two black keys, one group of three black keys, and seven white keys that are under them. The first key that is under the group of two black keys is always C. If you understand this, you can find every C on your keyboard.
Now that you know how to find C, you will have no problem finding other notes. Next to C is D, next to D is E, and so on. These are the naturals. Flats and sharps are named with respect to the white key that is left or right of it. Let's take a look at the black key that is between C and D. It is called C sharp and D flat. Yes, it has two names, depending on how you look at it. Just remember, sharps go up and flats go down.
That's it. If you know how to find C, and what sharps and flats are, you can identify any note on a keyboard.
