![]() ![]() We will learn all the notes in one octave (1 group) – focusing on the octave that contains middle “C”. In the above picture you can see the octaves on the keyboard and in the notation system – from one “C” to the next. This sequence of notes (12 on the keyboard, 8 in the notation system) is called an octave. In the notation system, on the other hand, there are 8 lines and spaces between the “C” notes. If you count the white and black keys on the keyboard, you can see that there are 12 keys (notes) between the “C” notes. To the left and right of it there are additional “C” notes. Do you recognise middle “C” in the shaded area? Here you can see further “C” notes and how they are represented in the notation system. Let’s get to know some more notes in the notation system and learn how they relate to the keyboard. The above score shows a note – middle “C”. The notation defines which notes have to be played at a certain point in time. Like any language, music is based on rules and uses special symbols. If music is a language, the notation system is like written text. Middle “C” is located in the middle of this, as well. As the name suggests, it is located at the middle of the keyboard, right in front of you when you sit at the piano. Since it might be a bit difficult to find the “C” notes at the beginning, just concentrate on middle “C” for now. This is important to remember, because before playing any song you have to find the “C” on the keyboard first.Įxercise: As a little exercise, try to find all “C” notes on the keyboard. Remember how you can find them on the keyboard? They are always to the left of a pair of black keys. Let’s take a closer look at the “C” notes. Each group starts with a “C” note (see mark), which is located to the left of two consecutive black keys. Look at the graphic above – the group is repeated to the left and right several times. Each group consists of 7 white keys and 5 black keys. The notes on this keyboard are grouped into 6 groups of 12 notes. The grey area on the keyboard shows you the notes you should know. If you look at the keyboard for the first time you might think that there are a lot of notes to learn. Step 1: Get to know the keyboard with notes
