Before we start learning the Gravity Falls theme tune, let’s take a look at the fundamentals of piano playing by exploring the names of the notes on the keyboard. If you’ve already mastered these spotting concepts, we suggest you move straight on to the next step: learning the notes with the right hand.
Take a look at the keyboard illustration below:
The name of the notes on a piano keyboard.
To help you find your way around the piano keyboard, we’ve got a simple tip that works every time: use the black keys as reference points.
If you look closely at the image above, you’ll notice that the black keys are arranged in regularly alternating groups of two (highlighted in orange) and three (highlighted in blue). This arrangement makes it much easier to identify the different notes on the keyboard.
Next, identify a group of two black keys in the center of the keyboard. The first white key to the left of this group of two black keys corresponds to the note C, which will be the reference note. On your keyboard, all the Cs are to the left of a group of two black keys.
Thanks to the reference note C, you can easily find the other notes: D, E, F, G, A, B.
Regularly practice identifying the notes on the keyboard. This will make it easier for you to follow this piano tutorial.
