What notes are the piano keys?

Answer 1

The piano keys are made up of many sets. Each one of these sets consists of seven white keys and five black keys. The black keys in one set you'll notice are in groups of twos and threes. One set contains one group of two and one group of three. Now look at the set of two, you'll notice that three white keys surround those two black keys. Starting with the one on the left is the key C. If you stay on the white keys only on up it'll go, C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C, from here the patterns continues to repeat. You may have also noticed that if you start with A the notes are in alphabetical order. However it is recommended to start with a C because it is the middle note (Hence, Middle C, which is the primary note for all beginners). The black keys are a little different, they follow rules of sharps and flats. Sharps go up, flats go down. Say for an instance you need to be playing a D flat, you find D and go down right onto the black key.
