using a piano keyboard
Piano keyboards are made up of white and black keys. As you move to the right on a piano, the notes sound higher. Notes sound lower as you move to the left. Try it on a piano with a smaller range at the following website.
The white keys are labeled A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and repeats! The black keys are placed in between white keys. Every adjacent note is half step apart. C and C# are a half step apart. C and D are a whole step apart. Two half steps make a whole step. Knowing how to use a piano keyboard will help you better understand music theory.
Fun fact:
A typical grand piano has 88 keys.
