First of all, before diving into the haunting melody of The Phantom of the Opera, let’s go back to piano basics. You’ll learn how to find your way around a piano keyboard with the help of the illustration below:
The name of the notes on a piano keyboard.
Look closely at the diagram of the piano keyboard above. You’ll see that the black keys follow a regular pattern: two keys, then three, and this is repeated all along the keyboard.
To start exploring the notes, concentrate on the groups of two black keys. The white key immediately to the left of each group is the C note, and the one to the right is the E note. This way, you can easily locate all the C and E notes on your keyboard. Use this method to identify other notes based on the groups of black keys.
By playing notes to the left of your keyboard, you move down into the low register, while playing to the right moves up into the high register.
This is the key to mastering The Phantom of the Opera. Once you’ve mastered these concepts, practice regularly to familiarize yourself with all the notes on the piano. If you have difficulty at first, associate each note with a specific color to make it easier to identify. You can also learn to recognize the intervals between notes, which will make it easier to find them.
