Study in a tutorial a drawing with the image of all octaves of a piano or piano. A person perceives a limited range of sounds by ear. Octave is a small part of this range. The piano keyboard has 88 black and white keys. In order not to get confused in such quantity, you need to know that a full octave covers 12 keys or sounds. Find the octaves on the keyboard of your instrument and remember their names: subcontroctava, controctava, large, small, first, second, third, fourth, fifth.

Find the sound “to” the first octave on the keyboard - check the image in the tutorial. Opposite this sound, the pianist sits during the game.

Find an explanation in the tutorial how to write the note “before” the first octave. Where it is located on the piano, you already know. Scroll through the tutorial to the end: you will come across long works, some have a familiar note "do." Find it on different pages of the self-instruction manual and each time extract a sound on a piano to remember well. A note may look like an empty oval, a filled oval, an oval with a vertical stick - calm, an oval with a calm and tails - ribs. For now, do not pay attention to this: imagine that the note "changes clothes, depending on the weather, " so it looks different. But regardless of appearance, the note “before” the first octave is always located at the same place in the musical staff, so you can easily recognize it.

Similarly, deal with other notes of the first octave. To the right of the "up" key is the white "re" key, then - "mi, fa, salt, la, si." Remember one note each day: the task is to see the note in the self-instruction manual and to know where the corresponding sound is extracted on the instrument. Practice until you remember all the notes well.

For further improvement read the textbook on musical literacy or music theory. Even a cursory acquaintance with the theory will help to quickly deal with the tutorial and master the tool. After a few months of training, you will confidently disassemble the work by notes.
