{ Piano Keyboard For Band Students Laura Walsh

 In this Presentation you are going to learn about the Piano Keyboard.  What it is.  How it relates to your instrument.  Enharmonic Tones Piano Keyboard

 The Piano is a Percussion instrument (yes it is!) which makes a sound by a hammer hitting a wire/string.  The hitting of a wire/string is what makes it a Percussion Instrument.  What we are interested in today is the Keyboard. Those are the white and black keys that you press to make a sound. What is it?

 The Keyboard is made up of White & Black Keys.  The White Keys are your “natural” notes (A, B, C, D, E, F, G).  The Black Keys are your “sharp” and “flat” notes (A#, Bb, etc…). The Keyboard

 On your instrument, what do you have to do to play a specific note?  Press Valves  Press Keys  Change Your Embouchure (Face Muscles)  Blow lots of air!  And more.  For a Pianist (Piano Player) all their notes are laid out in front of them to see.  This is why you as a band student will benefit from basic knowledge of the Piano Keyboard. How this relates to your instrument.

 So, how do you know what the different notes on the keyboard are?  Let’s start with the White Keys.  Remember these are the… The Notes on the Piano

 Let’s start with “C”  To find a “C” you…  First find the grouping of two black keys…  Is it “A” or “B”? The White Keys

 First we found the grouping of Two Black Keys  Now you go to the white key just below (to the left) of the group of two black keys.  The White Key below (to the left) of the Two Black Keys Will always be C.  No matter what… The White Keys

 No matter what really means no matter what…  When a key is highlighted…  If it IS a “C” give a THUMBS UP  If it IS NOT a “C” give a THUMBS DOWN Find a C

 When a key is highlighted…  If it IS a “C” give a THUMBS UP  If it IS NOT a “C” give a THUMBS DOWN Find a C

When a key is highlighted…  If it IS a “C” give a THUMBS UP  If it IS NOT a “C” give a THUMBS DOWN Find a C

When a key is highlighted…  If it IS a “C” give a THUMBS UP  If it IS NOT a “C” give a THUMBS DOWN Find a C

When a key is highlighted…  If it IS a “C” give a THUMBS UP  If it IS NOT a “C” give a THUMBS DOWN Find a C

When a key is highlighted…  If it IS a “C” give a THUMBS UP  If it IS NOT a “C” give a THUMBS DOWN Find a C

When a key is highlighted…  If it IS a “C” give a THUMBS UP  If it IS NOT a “C” give a THUMBS DOWN Find a C

When a key is highlighted…  If it IS a “C” give a THUMBS UP  If it IS NOT a “C” give a THUMBS DOWN Find a C

 Now that you can find a “C”…  Let’s find “F”!  To find an “F” you…  First find the grouping of three black keys…  Is it “A” or “B”? Finding an F

 First we found the grouping of Three Black Keys  Now you go to the white key just below (to the left) of the group of three black keys.  The White Key below (to the left) of the Three Black Keys Will always be F.  No matter what… Finding an F

 No matter what really means no matter what…  When a key is highlighted…  If it IS a “F” give a THUMBS UP  If it IS NOT a “F” give a THUMBS DOWN Find an F

 When a key is highlighted…  If it IS a “F” give a THUMBS UP  If it IS NOT a “F” give a THUMBS DOWN Find an F

When a key is highlighted…  If it IS a “F” give a THUMBS UP  If it IS NOT a “F” give a THUMBS DOWN Find an F

When a key is highlighted…  If it IS a “F” give a THUMBS UP  If it IS NOT a “F” give a THUMBS DOWN Find an F

When a key is highlighted…  If it IS a “F” give a THUMBS UP  If it IS NOT a “F” give a THUMBS DOWN Find an F

When a key is highlighted…  If it IS a “F” give a THUMBS UP  If it IS NOT a “F” give a THUMBS DOWN Find an F

 Now that we have “F” and “C”…  Let’s fill in the rest of the Keyboard  “C” is to the left of…  “F” is to the left of…  Now all we do is fill in our musical alphabet. The Other White Keys

 What is the highlighted note? What is this note?

 What is the highlighted note? What is this note?

 What is the highlighted note? What is this note?

 What is the highlighted note? What is this note?

 What is the highlighted note? What is this note?

 What is the highlighted note? What is this note?

 What is the highlighted note? What is this note?

 What is the highlighted note? What is this note?

 Enharmonic Tones are when two notes have the same name.  Every single Sharp Note has a Flat Name.  AND Every Single Flat Note has a Sharp Name.  What does # Sharp mean?  What Does b Flat mean?  SHARP…like a sharp nail sticking up to give you a…  FLAT tire (when you’re tire is low). Enharmonic Tones

 So if # (Sharp) means HIGHER…  And b (Flat) means LOWER…  Then what note is this one?  Its…HIGHER than C, so it is…  AND it’s LOWER than D, so it’s also… Enharmonic Tones

 What about this note?  Then what note is this one?  Its…HIGHER than F, so it is…  AND it’s LOWER than G, so it’s also… Enharmonic Tones

 Then what is this note? Enharmonic Tones

 How about this one? Enharmonic Tones

 How about this one? Enharmonic Tones

 Now it is time for the Ultimate Test.  Do you know what the Piano Keyboard notes are?  The White Ones & The Black Ones?  We shall see. The Ultimate Test

 How about these notes? The Ultimate Test
