First Step:
The keyboard simplified
There are many rows of the same pattern on the piano keyboard, and they all repeat.
it starts with two back keys (rabbit ears), followed by three black keys (crocodile teeth), this is one set of keys. Then it repeats itself, across the whole keyboard.
Look here! The dot here is MIDDLE C, when you read future posts, I will always put the middle C with this dot. The middle C is the left side of 2 black rabbit ears.
The white and black keys make up 12 keys. This is one pattern of keys on the keyboard. Called one “octave”. They are repeated, just that it is separated into low and high pitches.
The low C sounds like a bear, and the high C sounds like a bird. The note names are the same, C, but the pitches are different, that’s all.
White piano keys.
Do you know how to sing the ABC song? Great, all the notes on the white keys go like this, A, B, C, D, E, F, G. After that it repeats itself again.
You must be able to say out all the notes on the keyboard, look at the black notes, the “rabbit” and the “crocodile”, they are your friends to help you find all the alphabets on the keyboard.
Look at the left side of the “rabbit”, it is the C, and look at the left side of the “crocodile”, it is the F. If you follow this way of reading notes, it will be difficult to get it wrong! :D
Exercise: Are you able to find these notes on the keyboard?
G, B, A, D, C, E
Alright this is the end of today’s class! tomorrow we will learn the black keys and and Wednesday we will learn how to play chords, so stay tuned! See you guys at pianoplane music school for your first class!
