    @bacholerno2 it depends, heres an easier point of view. as u can see theres a pattern for the black keys, it goes like 3, 2, 3, 2 and so on. always remember, the white key before the two black keys is the C, and the white key before the 3 black keys is the F. so therefore, the white key between the two black keys is D :D some grand pianos start with like 1 black key then 3 black key but after that its still the same, 3-2-3-2-3-2 :D

    hey, to make it easier, (well, for us that is) putting subtitles using annotations would help a LOT ;) nice video btw, hope u teach many aspiring musicians :D

    This was a fantastic lesson. The amount of information in this video is something that I would pay good money for. I’ve nevr played piano before and it always looked so hard to understand, so thank you for making it very easy to follow, understand and keep me interested.

    It is unmature to name keys to any alphabet. The keys ahve their names Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, Le, Ti… and I give the black ones these names: Bu, Na, Ge, Vu, Ha. Respectivly you have its letters: D, B, R, N, M, F, G, S, V, L, H, T
    Simple, clear and easy.
