Introduction of Basic Keyboard Notes

Generally in music, beats are represented by notes. There are several kinds of notes and each received a different value or number of beats.

The keyboard is made up of white keys and black keys. Black keys are in groups of two and three.

The Full note [Represent as Full Step].

A whole step is a jump of two half steps. From C to D is a whole step.

The Half note. [Represent as Half Step].

In keyboard some half steps go from a black note to a white note (or a white note to a black note), while others go from a white note to another white note. A half step is the distance from one note to its nearest neighbor. These are all half steps.

The half step is a jump to nex key. From C to C# (The symbol # is pronounced “sharp.”) It means move one half step to the right.

Double Sharps and Double Flat –

Double Sharp means move two half steps to the right. For example, the note D can in some situations be called Cx (C double sharp).The symbol x is pronounced “double sharp.”

Double Flat means move two half steps to the left. For example, the note D can in some situations be called Ebb (E double flat).
