When you start with the piano lessons, it is very vital to learn about the notes, the lines, and other symbols found on one music sheet.
Every note is different when played on the piano. Black keys may be flat or sharp, white keys may be played quick or sustaining. Without any knowledge with the basics, it is easy to be disinterested due to confusion.
A. The Grand Staff
When you open your music sheet during your piano lessons, the lines that you see in the sheet is what you call a grand staff. The grand staff houses all the music symbols.
B. Treble and Bass Cleff
Somewhere at the left-most corner of your grand staff are the Treble and Bass Cleff. The treble cleff is the symbol that looks like an "&" and the bass cleff is the symbol that looks like a question mark with two dots beside it..
Both this symbols significantly mark the difference of the placement of the keys on your keyboard. The notes that will be found on the treble cleff will be the keys from the middle C to the right-most key. This is the last key with the highest pitch. Meanwhile the bass cleff will be from middle C to the left-most key. This is the last key with the lowest pitch,
C. The Basic Notes
When you face your piano during your piano lessons, the keys will sound differently with each other. Each key has a valuable name..
From the middlemost key and then counting 7 keys to the right is part of your first octave. This will be the middle C, D, E, F, G, A, B. They are also known as Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La , Ti.
On your music sheet, the Do starts below the grand staff. It is a circle with a line that goes through it. The line represents that intersection between the treble and the bass cleff. From there, the notes will ascend in order: Re (on a space), Mi (on a line), Fa (on a space), So (on a line), La (on a space), Ti (on a line),
On the bass cleff would be the backwards position of the the Treble Cleff. Starting from Do, Ti, La, So, Fa, Mi, Re.
D. Starting your piano lessons
At every start of the piano lessons, It is best to familiarize with the keys by running your fingers on them five times. It will also serve as you pre-piano playing exercises.
