All write Let's talk about the names of the notes every now or key on the piano has a name.
And the difference between a key and then just as a point of reference in this case the key is the physical
thing that you play.
Whereas the note is the sound of the pitch.
For now they are synonymous.
The first thing you want to recognize on the piano it is part of black and white keys.
You see that the keys are all flat but the black keys actually have a pattern of twos and threes.
So you see you have two Black Keys three Black Keys two Black Keys three black keys you want to be able
to recognize the sets of twos and threes because they in addition to the sounds of the actual notes
are going to help you to find out what the names are.
OK now we're going to find a note here.
The very first note that we're going to find is c c is actually in front of the two black keys by a
front.
I mean that it is to the left of the two Black Keys immediately following.
All right so C is in front of the two Black Keys and in terms of where we get that note C from we actually
get it from our musical alphabet the musical alphabet is the first seven letters of the English alphabet.
A B C D E F G.
No I know I know they are k or any of those other letters.
When we get to G we just go back to say OK.
So we talked about the two Black Keys and the Three Black Keys.
So the way it is arranged I'm just going to draw a piano here.
You can see in front of the two Black Keys we have C following that we have D D F G A B and then eventually
we arrive back to see all kinds of C D E F G A B C.
So let's go back to our piano here.
First note C after c we have D band a b c you want to say those going up say out loud.
C D E F G A B C.
And once you've got them saying going up say I'm going down C B A B B B C.
Now that might not be the easiest thing to do which is why it's kind of cool to have it written out
sometimes you can say C D E F G A B C then C B A G F E D C but you want to say going up and down C D
E F G A B C C B F B C and C it over and over again.
Practice it and then after you said that a few times then you start mixing them up for example.
See that's the key.
They like that.
And once you're able to pretty much recognize them without too much hesitation then you know the names
of the notes is very important that you memorize the names of the notes and take a look at this one
more time.
This is very important.
Once you get the names of the notes that we can actually talk the language to music.
Right let's move on to the next part of the program.
