Video Transcription: Hey everybody this is Aaron Whitehead, welcome to Learn to Play the Piano. This is lesson one of a series of short lessons. In this video we will focus on the notes of the piano keyboard. The piano keyboard is laid out in a series of repeating notes, white keys and black keys. The notes of the keyboard are given the first 7 letters of the alphabet. A-B-C-D-E-F and G. A is located just to the right of the middle of the three black keys. B is to the right of the three black keys. C is the note just to the left of the two black keys. D is the note located just in the middle of the two black keys. E is located just above the two black keys, F is the note to the left of the three black keys, G is located to the left of the middle black key, of the three. A again repeats and the piano continues to repeat in this series all the way up between A,B,C,D,E,F,G and A again. Now the black keys identify sharps and flats in between the notes. So the black key between A and B is called A sharp (A#) or B flat (Bb). The black note that is located between C and D is both C sharp (C#) and D flat (Db) and the black note between D and E would be called either D sharp (D#) or E flat (Eb). In the series of three black notes you have to the left the note that is located between F and G which is F sharp (F#) or G flat (Gb), and then above the G you have a black note which is either G sharp (G#) or A flat (Ab). Now those 12 notes make up the entire piano keyboard. The notes just continue to repeat over and over again across the keyboard. I hope you enjoyed lesson number one. All of this information and more is available in our book, A Piano Chord Book You Can Actually Use! which can be purchased from our website thepianochordbook.com. And please check out also lesson number two where we will discuss scales. Thanks, God bless and see you next time!
