Please Layout Piano Keys for me... So, you want me to layout piano keys for you. Later on this page I will draw simple pictures which will show you where each keys is located on the piano along with it name. "The public is like a piano. You just have to know what keys to poke. ~Al Capp". But first I'd like to point at the direction of the piano so that you'll understand what I mean when I say: "Go higher or lower on the piano." Noam started out with my printable layout of piano keys. Directions
Going up on the keyboard means we are playing higher and thinner sounds. When we go down the sound get deeper and lower. Remember the directions as we continue in our piano lesson, from now on we will name them so.
How to Tell One Key from the Other?When you layout piano keys one after the other you can find a pattern in the way the keyboard are organized?  Now if you look at the keyboard you'll notice there are black keys and white ones. The black keys are divided to groups of 2 and 3. That helps us to orient ourselves on the keyboard. We name the keys with the first seven letters of the alphabet. 
A is the lowest white key on the piano. It's easy to spot the white keys by the black ones. Look at the pictures. They show you where a specific key is located. 
Middle C The C key, which is located nearest the middle of the piano (under the brand name of the piano) is called "middle C". You can see it here in the image next to its fellow keys.
 Done? Perfect.Now you can find your way on the piano and understand the terms I'm using. If you still need some reminder you can download here a handy printable piano key chart. Next, I'd like us to start playing piano by ear but before that I suggest click here to read this page over piano fingering. If you're already curious about the black key names you can Click here to learn about it, but we'll get there later in our full piano course anyway. You can also choose to follow the basic piano chords lessons, now that you're familiar with the piano keys names. Click here to go to the Introduction to Piano Chords. Before you buy anything online, make sure to check out the piano chords supplies being offered on eBay. Often, you'll find new supplies at a fraction of what they cost at the stores:
