Faded on the piano: finding your way around the keyboard

Before you start playing the notes of Faded on the piano, it’s essential to familiarize yourself with the keyboard. To do this, we’re going to explore each key on the keyboard and understand its correspondence with the musical notes.

Below, you’ll find a detailed diagram of the keyboard, highlighting the note associated with each key. Now it’s your turn!

The name of the notes on a piano keyboard.

On a piano keyboard, each key corresponds to a specific note, enabling everyone to find their way around. To help you find your way around, start by identifying a group of two black keys. The white key to the left of this group of two black keys always corresponds to the note C. The next white keys in order are always D, E, F, G, A and B.

It’s essential to know where the note C is located as a reference point on the keyboard. From there, you can easily identify the other notes. The black keys represent sharps (indicated by the # symbol) or flats (indicated by the b symbol).

As you move left or right on the keyboard from C, you pass through a series of notes called an octave. An octave is made up of eight notes, including C. This means that when you reach the eighth key from C, you return to the same note, but at a different pitch. This octave concept will help you better understand the layout of the notes on the keyboard.

Now that you’ve got the basics down, are you ready to start playing the notes of Faded on the piano? Let’s get started!

Advice

Synchronizing movements can be a challenge at first, but with a few tips, learning to play the notes of Faded on the piano with both hands together becomes a more accessible experience. This exercise requires finesse, coordination and a little patience.

Here are a few tips to help you along:

  1. Do things at your own pace: Start slowly and gradually increase the speed as you play along with the video.
  2. Divide the piece into smaller parts and master each one before moving on to the next.
  3. Work each hand separately: Concentrate first on the series of notes to be played with your right hand for each section. Once you feel comfortable, move on to the left-hand series.
  4. Coordinate gradually: Once you’ve mastered both hands separately, start gradually coordinating the movements of both hands, section by section.

Repeated practice is really important if you want to feel more and more at ease at the piano. If the note display version doesn’t suit you, you should know that with our La Touche Musicale application, you can also opt for the note display that suits you: the Latin version (Do, Ré, etc.) or the Anglo-Saxon version as in the video (C, D, etc.).

Bear in mind that mastering this final step may take a little time, but we’re here to support you every step of the way. We believe you’re on the right track!
