Every white key that comes immediately before a set of two black keys plays C. There are several C notes on your keyboard. In other words, the key that is to the immediate left of a set of two black keys plays the note, C. What key plays the note, C on your keyboard? C is played with the white key that comes immediately before a set of two black keys.


The first note we shall find is the note, C. The same applies to every piano keyboard. It’s a pattern of two black keys followed by three black keys, followed by two black keys, followed by three black keys and so on. Do you see the pattern of the black keys? If you look closely, you will notice that the black keys follow a pattern of twos and threes. Take a look at the unlabeled piano keyboard diagram above. This includes 88-key, 76-key, 61-key, 49-key and other keyboards. I will show you how easy it is to label all the keys of your keyboard, no matter how many it has. You will learn the notes which correspond to the white piano keys as well as the black ones. In this lesson, we will take a look at piano notes and keys.
