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.

• Each sharp note can also be named as a flat. The note between C and D can be called either C♯ or D♭.

Understanding these 12 notes is essential for reading music and learning scales.
