Get to know the piano keyboard
The white keys repeat C, D, E, F, G, A and B. Black keys sit between them in groups of two and three, making it easy to find your way: C is just to the left of each group of two.
Each neighbouring key is one semitone apart. Twelve semitones make an octave. Play notes together to build chords, or one at a time to create a melody.
Beginner practice ideas
- Find every C on the keyboard
- Play C–D–E–F–G–A–B–C
- Mark C, E and G for a major chord

Frequently asked questions
Can I play with my computer keyboard?
Yes. The QWERTY row plays white keys and the number row plays black keys. Choose Keyboard shortcuts in Labels to see every mapping. Hold multiple keys to play a chord.
Can I use the keyboard on my phone?
Yes. Tap the keys with your fingers and scroll horizontally to reach the full keyboard. Sound starts after you interact with a key.
How do I practise higher or lower notes?
Use the octave selector to shift the two-octave keyboard. Pitches use standard A4 = 440 Hz tuning, with a synthesized piano tone.
