Music Theory - 02 - Notes

Now let us take a close look at these octaves. How do I refer each piano key? Suppose if I want to play this piano-key, how do I tell someone that I am going to play this piano-key? Can I say, I am going to press the first piano key of the third octave? Probably yes. But that would be confusing. So what can we do? This is where the NOTES come into picture. Music Theory names the piano-keys with a name. The names consists of just an alphabet. You will see some numbers and symbols after the alphabets. I will explain about them later. The first piano-key in an octave is called as C. The next one as D. Then E, F, G. Now it goes to A and ends with a B. If you look at the next OCTAVE, you would notice that this naming standard repeats there too. From C to G, then to A and B. Now things get a little easier. I can refer this piano-key as Note C2. Because it is the Note C which belongs to the Octave 2. Then this is A4. As this is the Note A in the Octave 4. Also from now on, I am not going to refer these piano-keys as piano keys. Instead I am going to refer them as Notes. Why? Because, in Music Theory, the word KEY represents something else, which we will cover later, and I do not want you to confuse a Piano-key with that KEY.
