![]() Let's really reinforce what we've gone over in this lesson in the video tutorial now. Once you get this system down, you'll easily be able to find and learn the name of every key on your piano keyboard! The more you practice saying the note names when you play them, the faster you'll learn them and you'll find it much easier then to learn new piano pieces and exercises. Remember we're just using white keys for now. You can also just "count" the notes in alphabetical order, and you'll be able to name each note as you play it on the piano. Just count down 2 white keys, and you'll arrive at this A.Īll of the following notes in this image can be found the exact same way, whether they are on spaces or lines. On the keyboard, we find that A just like we found our E in the Treble Clef.but this time we're going down, or to the left of Middle C, instead of up or to the right. In this image, A is the very last note and you already probably know that it is located on the top line of the Bass Clef in your music. Next, let's find the note E in the Treble Clef on our keyboard. In measures 11, 12, and 15 you will see the D next to middle C written as a leger line, a line added between the treble and bass staff. The thumb of your right hand will be on G above middle C, and the little finger of your left hand will be on the G below middle C. Middle C will be the note that you base all of your other notes on in terms of finding them on your music staff as well as on the piano keyboard. You will need to place your hands in the G Major position. If you look at your keyboard (on a digital piano) look for the writing that tells you the make and model of your keyboard, and then go to the closest white key to those words, and you'll find Middle C.ĭon't worry if you are having trouble finding Middle C.I'll show you where it is on my keyboard in the video at the end of this lesson. If you have a smaller size keyboard, then Middle C will be literally right in the middle of your keyboard. When you get to the 4th octave, that note is Middle C.Ģ. Start with the very bottom note which is C, and count up 4 octaves. If you have a full size (88 keys) keyboard, it will be the 4th C on the piano from the bottom. There are a couple of ways that you can find Middle C on your keyboard:ġ. We're going to start with Middle C, which is the first note that most of us learn to read in our music and then play on the piano. Let's find out how easy it really can be to figure out this wonderful keyboard and just where each note resides. At this point in your playing you either already know how to read music a bit, or you are learning how to read your notes in your music and need to start playing them on the keyboard. So while the keyboard has 88 keys repeating the same 7 notes, there are actually 7 different octaves within those 88 keys.įiguring out what notes are where on the keyboard is one of the main things you need to learn when you start playing the piano. Notice how some are higher and others are lower, yet they are still a C, or and A? The difference in the notes is the octave that they are played in. The interesting thing though, is that all of those keys are based on the same 7 notes! They are:Ī, B, C, D, E, F, G - listed in order of the alphabet only.Ĭan you believe that all of those keys are the same notes repeated over and over again? Most full size pianos have a total of 88 keys on them when you combine the white and black keys together.
