Before you start learning, take a moment to examine the keyboard layout below. It will help you familiarize yourself with the notes and orientate yourself more easily throughout this tutorial.
The name of the notes on a piano keyboard.
When you look at a piano keyboard, it can seem intimidating with its many keys, but don’t worry, we’ll guide you step by step to help you find your way around easily.
The white keys represent the natural musical notes (C, D, E, etc.), while the black keys represent altered notes, such as sharps (#) and flats (b).
First, look at the groups of black keys. There are groups of two and groups of three. The grouping of a group of two and a group of three corresponds to 7 white keys: C, D, E, F, G, A and B. The keyboard is just made up of sequences of these groups.
But which note is our starting point? Place your hand in the center of the keyboard and look for a group of two black keys. The white key just to the left of the first black key is a C. C will be your reference point, its position unchanging: always the first white key to the left of a group of 2 black keys.
The following white keys, in ascending order, correspond to the notes D, E, F, G, A and B.
We can also say that the keyboard is made up of octave repeats. The octave is the distance between two musical notes that have a similar sound but different pitches. For example, when you play a C note, the octave above is another C note, but it sounds higher: these two notes are separated by an octave.
With these simple tips in mind, you’ll be able to find your way around the keyboard with ease and start learning with confidence.
