The first step in learning the piano for beginners is to set aside 15 minutes a day, the important thing is to make sure you learn during times when you have suitable time and are not rushing, as this will help you to focus, enjoy, and relax while learning the piano. If at all possible, dedicate the same quantity of time each day to learning the piano. This time frame is simply an example; you can modify it according to your needs to

Step 3 – Know your Piano or Keyboard

There are 88 keys on the piano; the white keys are the natural notes (A–G), while the black keys are the sharps and flats. Whole, Whole, Half, Whole, Whole, Whole, Half is the order. One popular reference is middle C. To play and comprehend the layout better, become familiar with it.

There are 52 white keys and 36 black keys on a typical piano. There are 88 piano keys in all. Twelve piano keys, seven of which are white and five of which are black, make up an octave. The white keys stand for the tones of the C major scale, which are C, D, E, F, G, A, and B. To play in the key of C, just start on any C and play only the white notes.
The black keys of a piano have flats and sharps.

Begin to play piano with right-hand

Let's start with some fundamentals if you're just learning how to play the piano with your right hand. Put the thumb (1) of your right hand on Middle C. Numbering the fingers from 1 to 5, the thumb is at the beginning and the pinky is at the finish.

Try now using each finger to play the notes from Middle C to G:

Thumb (1) in Middle C

D: The middle finger (2)
E: Index finger (3)
F: The fourth ring finger
G: Pinky (5)

Play these notes as comfortably and loosely as you can, paying attention to the sound and ensuring that each finger presses the key on its own. You'll be able to develop coordination and become more at ease with the positioning of your right hand thanks to this. You can experiment with more notes and melodies as you get better. Have fun while playing!

Start playing piano with left hand

Start with these fundamentals if you're learning to play the piano with your left hand:
Place your left hand's pinky (number five) on Middle C. The fingers are numbered 1 to 5, with the thumb being the last and the pinky the first, much like with the right hand.

Try now using each finger to play the notes from Middle C to G:

Pinky in middle C (5)

B: The fourth ring finger
A - Index finger (3)
G: The middle finger (2)
F - The thumb (1)

As you practice these notes, concentrate on utilizing each finger to make distinct, distinct sounds. You can experiment with more notes as you get more at ease and progressively improve your left-hand dexterity. Have fun as you learn the piano!

Step 4 – Identify the Notes on the Piano
