These seven letters repeat in alphabetical order across the piano keyboard.
The black keys are named based on their relationship to the nearby white keys. They can be either sharps (notated with a "#" symbol) or flats (notated with a "b" symbol).
The white key to the right of C is D.
The white key to the left of D is C.
The organization of the piano keys forms a repeating pattern of groups of two and three black keys with white keys in between. This pattern allows you to navigate and identify any note on the piano keyboard.
