Whether you have a small keyboard with 61 keys, or a full size piano with 88 keys, it’s still seems endless, with no beginning or end. The only way to tell the keys apart are whether they are black or white! Argh,… how are you going to learn the names and locations of so many keys! I have very good news for you.. the piano is a repeat of 7 keys, over and over!
How the Piano is Organized
Learning how the piano keys are organized will give you a strong feeling of confidence and a head start before you start reading music. I am going to teach you in just a few easy steps, how to look at your piano and not feel overwhelmed.
Let’s start by looking at the black keys. You may or may not have noticed, but the black keys are grouped in two’s and three’s. If you are at a piano, locate all the groups of two and all the groups of three. Notice that the groups alternate with each other. These alternating groups of two and three black keys is how the piano is organized, and how you will be able to locate specific white keys very quickly.
Locating Specific Keys in Turbo Mode!
With your right hand, point to the white key in between any group of two black keys. That key is D. Every group of two black keys has a D positioned between them. Now you can locate all the D’s on the piano very quickly by locating the groups of two black keys!
From here it is very easy to learn the 7 keys of the music alphabet. The music alphabet is A, B, C, D, E, F, G.
They are all white keys and are located in that same order on the piano. If you know where D is, then it will be easy to find the others! A-B-C are the three keys before D, and E-F-G are the three keys after D.
Wait! Why did I ask you to use your right hand?
If you used your right hand to point to the D with your pointer finger, then your thumb will naturally be placed on C. Placing your thumb on C is a common starting point for learning the piano.
If you can find C on the piano very quickly, by first finding D, then you have already had your first piano lesson! ~smile~
Happy Practicing!
