Find a piano teacher

Pianos are built around a 12-note pattern that spans the full instrument.

The 12 notes consist of C, C-sharp, D, D-sharp, E, F, F-sharp, G, G-sharp, A, A-sharp, and B.

• Sharp notes have alternative flat names. For example, C♯ is the same key as D♭.
• The pattern includes 7 white keys and 5 black keys.
• The 88 keys include multiple repetitions of the same 12 pitches.

Mastering the pattern helps you navigate the keyboard with confidence.
