Rush E on the piano: finding your way around the keyboard

If you’ve already had your first experience with a piano keyboard, you can take the next step if you like!

If you don’t know the basics of piano playing, don’t rush into it! Take the time to look at the diagram below to learn your way around the keyboard. Good piano playing is first and foremost a question of patience.

piano keyboard notes

The name of the notes on a piano keyboard.

Look closely at this picture of a keyboard, showing all the keys on a piano and the notes associated with them: C, D, E, F, G, A, B. Here are some simple steps to help you find your way around:

  • Locate groups of black keys: the black keys on the keyboard are grouped in sets of two and three. This creates a visual pattern that you can use to navigate the keyboard.
  • Find the C: The C is the note to the left of a group of two black keys. It’s a useful starting point. Find it and memorize its location (it’ll never change, humor).
  • Understand the layout of the notes: By knowing where the C is, you can easily identify the other notes. For example, a D is just to the right of the C, an E is just to the right of the D, and so on.
  • Using octaves to move around: Once you’ve identified a starting note, you can find other notes by using octaves. For example, if you want to find an A, you can count seven white keys to the right from the C you’ve located, as there are seven notes in an octave.

We can well imagine your eagerness to get started on this piece straight away. However, knowing your way around the keyboard is essential if you are to play the notes of Rush E on the piano with the greatest possible ease.

Where to start?

Now that you’ve got the ability to spot any note on your keyboard, let’s start learning the melody using the right hand.

Once you’ve learned to play all these notes with your right hand at your own pace, you’ll be able to consider the melody part tamed, and let’s not forget that we’re talking about Rush E … the composition you wonder when you’ll crack!

In general, practice repeating each sequence several times before moving on to the next, and so on, until your playing becomes more and more fluid. You’ll feel more and more at ease, and you’ll see that you’ll naturally master the different sequences.

Once you’ve reached this stage, you can concentrate on learning the Rush E accompaniment, to be played on your piano keyboard with your left hand.

Now we’re going to turn up the pressure (inherent to the piece, of course – playing the piano isn’t a source of stress, it’s a pleasure). You’re going to play the notes of Rush E on the piano, using both hands simultaneously.

Don’t be afraid! Our tips are just below, and our tutorial is here to guide you!

Rush E on the piano: play the song with both hands

Advice

Playing with both hands is the ultimate challenge for any beginner pianist. So stay cool and remember that it’s perfectly normal to have difficulties at first.

Don’t question your skills on the first try. You probably don’t remember it, but you didn’t get it right the first time – it took many tries and a few falls.

Start small. Don’t set your goals too high right from the start. If you try to master the piece with both hands in record time, you’ll be sorely disappointed. Learning should be synonymous with pleasure.

The main advice is the same as before: divide the piece into short sequences of a few seconds (5 to 10 seconds, no more).
First practice playing only the melody for these few seconds, then concentrate on the accompaniment. Once you feel comfortable with each hand individually, try playing both together.

As soon as you’ve mastered one sequence with both hands, move on to the next. Proceed in this way, sequence by sequence, until you reach the last note of the piece.

We remind you that this piece has energized a whole host of pianists. Think of Rush E as a game, and consider that if this is your first piano piece, it may not be the best one to learn (although it has been simplified).

Just enjoy it and go for it!

Video tutorial

Ready to play the notes of Rush E with both hands on the piano?

Pay attention to the different tempos and concentrate on coordinating the notes between the two hands.

Sometimes certain notes need to be played simultaneously, while others need to be played one after the other.

Don’t hesitate to pause the video when the notes arrive on the virtual keyboard, so that you can position your fingers to play the right notes at the right time. If you get confused, go back to the basics: right hand, then left, then both.

It’s true that it’s a bit constraining to keep pressing the video’s play/stop button. Please note that these videos are taken from our La Touche Musicale app.

Our app also offers a learning mode. The main feature of this mode is that the app waits for you to play the right notes before continuing.

It also lets you display the notes in Latin (Do, Ré, etc.) or Anglo-Saxon (C, D, etc.) versions, and you can even choose not to indicate them to spice up the exercise 🙂

With these tips in mind, let’s get on with the final phase!
