Piano Notes

To learn piano, it is very important that you learn which keys are which notes, this will help to create or memorise melodies. There are only seven notes on a piano and five sharp/flat notes. These are C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G#, A, A# & B. The notes C through to B is known as an octave, this is the full range of notes, after the B note the next note will be C and the notes will continue as listed, however, this is a higher octave which means it will be the same note as the previous C, but higher and the same with the other notes. This also applies going down the scale e.g. before the C will be a B but of a lower octave. The notes inside an octave are known as semi-tones.
