![]() Look at the full piano key chart below and you will notice a pattern of the notes. There are exceptions, with some models out there having as many as 108 keys and many digital (and even toy) pianos having notably fewer, but 88 is the standard, and this total comprises 52 white and 36 black keys. ![]() So how do we know what the rest of the notes are called? Even so, the vast majority of them have a keyboard that spans 88 keys. The piano keyboard is made up of a lot more than just seven white notes and five black notes. So to make things easy we just call it C. So a C is a not perfect C tone it is just close enough that we no one can tell the difference. Remember those enharmonic notes? The keys on the piano are actually enharmonic in the fact that they are equivalent, or sound the same as the sound that makes that tone. It is actually just a tone that is close enough to the sound that that note makes. Both C Sharp and D Flat are enharmonic because they have the same sound and are the same key on the piano keyboard, but have two different names.Įach key on the piano keyboard is not actually the note that is labeled in the piano key chart. Enharmonic Equivalent notes are called different names but have the same sound. Naming these notes two names is known as being enharmonic. Enharmonic means that they have the same sound. It all depends on which note you start with and in which way you are moving right or left. The angles between ivory are as thin as 90 degrees. The key is made of plastic or another artificial material in the event that no pattern is found. The Schreger Lines are natural patterns found in ivory piano keys. Why is that note called C Sharp and D Flat? Because if you start on the D and move down a half step then you would be on D flat. Ivory piano keys have the advantage of reducing the risk of the pianist’s fingers slipping while playing. So, if we started on C, the next note to the right would be the C#/Db. A semitone is just a fancy word for a half step which means moving to the note immediately to the right to the right or left.Ī sharp note means that we move from the starting note to the note immediately next to it. In music, we use what’s called a Semitone and Whole Tone to know the distance between notes.
