- One, skip, two, skip, three. The trick that started it all. Dave told me to number my fingers from one to five and then to put my thumb on any white key.
- Where’s the C. Take a breath. It’s actually fairly simple. First, let’s just take it for granted that music theory requires us to base our learning of the piano on the first seven letters of the alphabet.
- The major scale (Do re mi…) You remember the song. Start with your thumb on C. Use your first three fingers to play the first three notes. After you play the E, cross your thumb underneath your third finger and play the F. From there it’s smooth sailing back up to C. When you get good at it, play the second C by crossing your thumb under your fourth finger and continue on.
- Black keys don’t bite. When you play a triad on the white keys, try moving your second finger to any black key near it. Notice how the sound changes. Practice different combinations of white keys and black keys.

The notes on pianos and keyboards are exactly the same. Each note has its own unique pitch— something that is achieved on both pianos and keyboards. We all know having all of those keys sitting in front of you can be quite a bit intimidating. Many beginner piano players tend to have this idea that all of the keys are different notes when in reality...
The white keys are whole notes. These notes do not contain any accidentals— that is sharps or flats. The white keys represent 7 natural notes. C, D, E, F, G, A and B. In that order. These notes, in the sequence above, are actually the key of C. All of the notes: C, D, E, F, G, A, B and C are the notes that comprise the key. Keys tell us which notes...
These keys are sharps and flats. The black keys can be a bit complicated to explain since they aren’t always sharps. Speaking of sharps and flats, there are two notes in western music that do not have sharps/flats. Those notes are E and B, which is why there is no black key separating them from the other keys. The two black keys next to each other ...
Remember those white keys that I told you about earlier? C, D, E, F, G, A, B and C? That is your first scale. The C major scale. Simply by using this scale you can play chords, a melody or even arpeggios. Using the key of C you can learn your first position which is, you guessed it, C positon. Start with your right thumb on middle C (this key is no...
Learning piano should not just be about sitting down at your instrument with sheet music. If you plan on learning quickly, you will have to be willing to go the extra step. Your optional enrichment can include books, games and even private lessons with a music teacher you trust. One of the first things I recommend for any instrumentalist is a book ...

This makes it a great fit for R&B, ballads, deep house, and a host of other genres that can benefit from a lighter touch. Normally this means either taking the time to ...
