The keyboard contains 12 fundamental notes repeated in different octaves.

These notes are C, C♯, D, D♯, E, F, F♯, G, G♯, A, A♯, and B.

• Sharp and flat notes are two names for the same key. D♭ and C♯ refer to identical keys.
• White keys and black keys alternate in groups.
• On an 88-key piano, this 12-note pattern repeats over 7 times.

This 12-note foundation unlocks all scales, chords, and melodies.

A private piano lesson in Penshurst generally runs about $50/h.

The cost varies depending on several factors:

• Your level of experience (beginner, intermediate, advanced)
• The instructor's credentials and expertise (formal education, teaching experience, professional accomplishments)
• The duration and frequency of lessons
• The lesson type (virtual, in-person at your location, or at the teacher's premises)

Many teachers provide a complimentary first session, allowing you to assess their teaching style before committing.

The Pareto Principle suggests that concentrating on key tasks delivers the majority of improvement.

For pianists, this means identifying which exercises and techniques give maximum benefit.

• Practice hard sections until they match the easier parts.
• Work on technique, sight-reading, and musicality.
• Devote practice sessions to recent or upcoming music.

This approach prevents wasted time on activities that don't move you forward.
