However, there are some techniques to better understand and not just to memorize notes then eventually digest all of them. The first technique is to know first twelve (12) major notes. Enumerated above are twelve major notes. Most of us have encountered do-re-mi-fa-sol-la-ti notes in early stage of our education. Whether we liked it or not, music has always been a part of academe. The alphabet notes C, D, E, F, G, A, B are also used along with do-re-mi-fa-sol-la-ti notes.

Upon hearing word piano, very first thing that pops into your mind is set of black and white keys. Anybody can play piano believe me. You don't necessarily need to go to music schools or hire certified music instructors to tell you how to pound those keys and play a song. You can be your own teacher as long as you have interest and eagerness to learn then it wouldn't be so difficult.All you need is a piano, song lyrics with chords and a piano chord chart. Play any of your favorite songs on piano just like you do on a guitar. Learning to play piano through chords is not traditional learning procedure. You will still meet musical terms, read notes and other symbols but not through hectic musical lessons. Playing piano through chords is easy and fun. But how do you really start pressing those keys? First, of course, you must know and familiarize piano. This is because you need to acquaint yourself with middle "C" or middle "do" which is main key on keyboard. The middle "C" is white key located before two black keys in middle of keyboard. Note that every white key on left side of every two black keys is called "C" or "do", but you have to look for middle "C" or "do". Now that you know about middle "C" or middle "do", you have to know names of rest of keys. No, don't worry, you won't have a hard time naming all keys. As mentioned earlier, every white key on left side of every two black keys is called "C" or "do". A group is composed of a of two black keys, three black keys and seven white keys. It will then depend on length of your keyboard on how many groups it would have. Try dividing keys of your keyboards according to keys. Then you are now ready to get to know each key on each group. Remember that each group would start with "C" or "do". Then succeeding white keys take letters D, E, F, G, A and B or re, mi, fa, sol, la and ti. You have now named all of white keys. The black keys are flats and sharps. The technique to determine flats and sharps is to know their position. If black key is found at left of every white key, then it is a flat. If black key is found at right side of every white key, it is a sharp. For example, black key nearest to middle C is at its right side, black key then is named as C sharp or do #. The C# then could take another name since it is also found at left side of D or "re" key. The same goes for other black keys. There's "D" or "re" sharp which is same key for "E" or "mi" flat. The "F" or "fa" sharp is same as "G" or "so" flat. The "G" or "so" sharp is also "A" or "la" flat. And "A" or "la" sharp is also "B" or "ti" flat.
