Spreading it out over many weeks

I have found that putting the piano keyboard sheet on students' lesson assignments every week ensures a gradual firm grasp of key names.

Save ink by laminating

If you choose to print out this particular piano learning guide for your students (or yourself), I suggest laminating it, or using wide tape to cover the important parts of the page! INK IS SO EXPENSIVE, and we music teachers seem to need a lot of it.

You might also find it useful to laminate one of the online piano keyboards below, and allow your students to write on the keyboard with an erasable felt pen, to use the keyboard over and over. (As long as 'ghost images' don't remain behind!)

One new key at a time

I used to assign kids the entire paper to fill in the first week, but gradually I've come to assign just one note name per week, and stipulate that at home, they are to strike every one of THOSE keys up and down the keyboard every day.

'This week, I want you to write in all the D's, in pencil, and play every D, etc.', so that we keep returning to the paper piano keyboard layout week after week.

It's a BIG DEAL when we've gotten through all the white keys, and turn our attention to those mysterious black keys, with the double names.

Here is a student who has placed a little animal on each G# key.

Below are two very different piano keyboards diagrams: the first one has small keys (uses less ink!), the second one is larger, with fewer keys.

Both print out nicely on 8 1/2' by 11' paper, with PLENTY of white space left below for you to write on! Scroll down for the free downloadable PDF links.


My favorite keyboard, & the easiest to use

Please scroll down the page for the download links.

I use 'blank' paper keyboards with all my beginner piano, violin, voice and guitar students.

Guitar players also need to understand the piano keyboard

Yes, guitar! I write the names on the appropriate piano keys for the guitar strings - E, A, D, G, B, E - and that is how they learn to tune their instrument. It is much more meaningful than using an electronic tuner.

I feel the electronic tuner should come LATER, after they understand how the piano keyboard relates to the strings and frets of the guitar.

The 'Rosetta Stone' for musicians

The piano keyboard is the Rosetta Stone for all musical instruments!

My students get to know the key names this way: the 3 black keys are 'Grandma's house,' and the 2 black keys are 'the dog's house.'

G = Grandma (who is the first person you meet inside GRANDMA'S house)

A = Ants that are hiding in Grandma's house - or it could be 'A' for 'Auntie'.

B = Grandma's BACK door

C = the Cat

D = the Dog (which is inside the DOG house)

E = the Eagle, or the Elephant

F = Grandma's FRONT Door

For the first few months of their lessons, they must fill in the piano keyboard paper one key-name per week. The first week they write in all the D's, and the piano players practice a hand exercise to go with it.

An opportunity to practice a flexible wrist

This exercise, known as 'Dipping Donuts,' requires shaping the 1 and 3 fingers into a round hole like a donut, then pretending to 'dip' it into an imaginary glass of milk, using a smooth wrist action. (This exercise comes from one of the cute FJH Piano Adventures books.)

So, all week long at home, they start their piano practice time by 'dipping donuts' on all the D's.

First one hand, then the other, strikes each D on the piano, from left to right, then back down again right to left (or the other way around -- some free spirit always wants to do it backwards, and it really doesn't matter!

Make a technical exercise out of it, for fun

This reinforces not just the piano key's location and name, but also a flexible wrist motion. (As I mentioned above, this idea comes from FJH's My First Piano Adventure, Lesson Book A Pre-Reading, which is full of cute and effective ideas for beginners.)

They will remember 'dipping donuts'

I frequently have to remind them not to stiff-handedly 'splash' the donut into the milk, but gracefully bend the wrist. Over a period of weeks (and months of follow-up), it starts to become natural!

This final keyboard, below, is very sharp-looking, but I don't use it much because I try to avoid print jobs that demand lots of heavy black ink! Your own purposes may have a special use for this graphic, though:

Keyboard recognition is important for all musicians

It's obvious why piano players need to start learning the names of the keys, but why guitarists and other instrumentalists, and vocalists?

The easiest way to explain and SEE a 'half step'

Those musicians also need to understand the topography of the piano keyboard, on which there seem to be black notes 'missing' between the frets B and C, and E and F.

How else will they truly understand the concept of half steps and whole steps?

When I give blank piano keys sheets to guitar beginners, the first thing we do is learn where the guitar strings are located on the piano.

We highlight those keys on the keyboard sheet, and use them as a reference for learning how to tune their guitar to a piano.

Tuning to the piano keys makes more sense

For guitar players, I have found this to be MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE than merely tuning with an electronic device. The UNDERSTANDING is there.

First the open strings, then the frets.

Next, we learn all the names of the other keys.

Then, we use this online piano keyboard sheet as a reference for saying note names as they play scales fret-by-fret from string to string. ('Open E, F, F#, G, G#.Open A, A#, etc.')

I suggest you print out just one at first to see how you like the size.

The black keys always require a lot of ink, and so these paper keyboards are precious commodities once they are printed out! Voice tuner vst. I don't pass out new ones.

If a student rips the holes so the keyboard sheet doesn't stay in their 3-ring binder, then I mend the edge with wide tape folded over, and punch new holes!

A plain paper blank piano keyboard sheet is one of the best all-around tools a music teacher has!

I bought your Halloween Songs, wrote teacher accompaniment for some, and performed with 17 of my students in costume at an assisted living facility.

It was a 'win-win' situation. The kids and residents loved it and the parents were very pleased with the service aspect of their children's performance as well.

Thank you for sharing these lovely pieces that introduce the minor key in a very simple and interesting way to early elementary students.

Cathy:
I recently purchased your arrangement ofThe Moldau(a longtime favorite of mine).

I wasn't sure if any of my students would be interested in it, but to my amazement 3 of my students LOVE it. Thank you so much for making your great arrangement.
