How to Play a Piano?

Nice to meet you!

This is how the piano looks like!

Let's look at it more closer.

The modern full-sized piano or standard grand piano have 88 keys in total.

The keys are divided into 52 white tile, and 36 black tile.

These are white tiles! These are black tiles!

Let's learn how to call this keys!

We use alphabet to name the white tiles.

For the black tiles, we use two special name after alphabet.

• Sharp
• Flat

For example, we say C# as C sharp, and Cb as C flat.

If we go to black tile on the downside of the C, we call it C sharp.

Similary, if we go to black tile on upside of the C, we call it C flat.

Let's learn how to play chord!

In order to play chord, we need only three fingers for each hand.

• Thunmb
• Middle finger
• little finger

Let's start with the most easiest chord!

The first chord we are going to learn is a C chord!

1. First, we need to find a basic key of the chord, which is C. Place your thumb on C.

2. Second, go over two tiles to the right, and place your middle finger on it.
