Step 1: Getting Familiar with the Piano
We will mostly cover the correct way to approach the piano and play. We may
cover the key basics, but today we will focus on the proper position.
When playing, remember to:
- Sit up straight, pretend like someone is pulling you up by your hair.
- For your hands, pretend like you’re holding a ball, and don’t make them too
rigid.
- Have your legs apart, at approximately a 90-degree angle.
- For now, while learning, it is okay to look at the keys, but once you get
better, we will try playing without looking at the keys.

Step 2: Identifying the Keys
In playing piano, you will obviously need to know which keys are which. We will be
focusing on 12 chords, which are C, C#/D♭, D, D#/E♭, E, F, F#/G♭, G,
G#/A♭, A, A#/B♭, B.
