Piano Theory 1-4

Musical Alphabet

• The musical alphabet has 7 letters
• These are: A, B, C, D, E, F and G.
• The order of these letters repeat over and over along the length of the keyboard.
• This means that the music letter “A” comes after “G”.

Remember, G must therefore be the letter that comes BEFORE A!

Hint: It is always handy to know your musical letters forwards and backwards!
