black and white keys

one octave keyboard
  • This pattern of black and white keys repeats for the whole length of a keyboard.
    • when you get to 7 the pattern starts over
  • Note that the black keys are grouped in twos and threes.
  • I'll be using the black keys only to help you find each of the 7 notes:
    • the 1, 2 & 3 notes are near the group of 2 black keys
    • the 4, 5, 6 & 7 notes are near the group of 3 black keys
