Twos and threes
One more look at what you missed.
On a piano, the black keys come in groups.
Look along the keyboard: two black keys together, then three, then two again. The pattern never changes.
Here are the groups of two.
Every group of two looks the same, wherever it is on the piano.
Play every group of two, then every group of three.
Play the black keys in each group, then the white keys around them.
Going right, what comes after a group of two black keys?
And here are the groups of three.
Two plus three makes five black keys. After them, the same five come again.
Where two groups meet, how many white keys touch?
The groups are your map to the white keys.
Every white key sits in the same place next to a group. Find the group first, and the key has a name.
Spot a group of two first. C is just left of it, and the letters count up from there.
You can read the keyboard's map.
What you learned
- The black keys come in groups of two and three, taking turns.
- Between the groups, two white keys touch with no black key between.
- Every white key has a fixed place next to a group.
