Pianokeys

Keyboards and their associated scores

Buttons on a pianoforte and the position of each individual on the keypad can be hard to memorize when you start to play the pianoforte. You can print this page (the sheet music is large enough to be seen from a distance) and place it directly above the keys on your instrument or your keypad so that you can immediately memorize the name of the sheet music for each of them.

Keyboard diagram

When you are just beginning to learn how to find sheet music on the keypad, this fundamental note layout is for you. This graph contains natural talents (C, C, G, A, B), levels and peaks. The card was left out because it would otherwise be too puzzling and do more damage than good.

Maybe, if you're just getting started, you should begin with the table of pianos notes...but be sure to come back here! When you only have one thing to teach about the keyboard diagram, make sure it is: Keys are not scores (see layout of keyboard keys). You will find that each button has two different node designations in the diagram.

Indeed, from a technical point of view, there is no limitation in the number of times a particular scale can be played on a keyboard. Therefore, the first wrench in the charts could be C or Bis, or it could be Dis shallow or even A threefold sharpen! It would be unfeasible to perform the pianoforte if it had separated keys for all levels, pointed arches, dual surfaces and dual pointed arches.

Therefore, every possible touch in the Western world is like a button on a keyboard, and in fact many different tones are like the same button. Those notations ( "enharmonic") are "close enough" in tone height, so most humans couldn't really tell the difference anyway, so only one keyboard button is used for all of them.

This is because all the different types of note that can be performed on a single keyboard with a single button depend on how a single musician uses them. Thus, F# and G# may have the same sounds (at least on a piano), but they can have very different features in current musical works.

If you want a very persuasive demo, please read the samples in the Clavierheorie paper. When you are studying the keypad, first of all you will study the central line of keys (C, A, B...). Well, aarp ( which looks like a sterling sign: #) means to press the next higher number. The next button can be either monochrome or monochrome.

One level (which looks like a lower case letter'B': b) means to press the next smaller one. A lot of novices are puzzled by this point because they think that a crisp or shallow tone means a dark one.

Keep in mind that an inadvertent ( sharper or shallower ) button only means playing the next higher or lower scale on a keyboard, and this next scale can be either dark or red. In summary, you can now find any button on the keyboard with ease! If you get bogged down, the above table of keys will help you.
