3 Ways to Learn Keyboard Notes

To learn the notes on a keyboard, find a set of 3 white keys enclosing 2 black keys, followed by 4 white keys enclosing 3 black keys. This pattern is consistent for all keyboards. The first white key in the set is the C key, and the next white key is D, then E, F, G, followed by A, B, and C again. The black keys are a half-note between the white keys. The black key between C and D is either C sharp or D flat, the key between D and E is either D sharp or E flat, and so on. There is no black key between B and C or E and F.
