How to Identify Flats and Sharps on the Piano

If you are wondering how you can see the flats and Sharps on the piano, no worries, I have your answer. It's actually very simple.

As a teacher, I help my students learn how to recognize flats and Sharps on the piano with a simple look. If something is flat (like a flat tire), then it goes down. If something is sharp (like a sharp pencil), then it goes up. So piano, flats go down semitone, and Sharps go up semitone. The flats go down, the sharps go up. Pretty straight forward right?

Well, if you are motivated and motivated enough to teach yourself to play the piano you will do well! You have a very important key to being great in whatever you do in life. My very successful pianist students had great driving and great self-control, but they also had great fun!

So with that in mind you might want some answers on how to play the piano.

I truly believe that learning the piano should be fun so I always look for interesting things and activities that I can work on. I want to teach my students the best books I can find, so I look around a bit; talking to other teachers and even trying new books suggested at teachers' meetings.

Recently, I discovered a set of textbooks for all types of students that encourages enjoyable reading and self-discipline. As a pianist, this is exactly what I needed. My readers love these books because they give them the opportunity to teach them, while still allowing me to transcend their skills and strategies and offer my own suggestions. I find that these books have

changed the way I teach because they encourage the reader to explore the music on his own and to create with it whenever he can. I can meet my students now and see the big difference in their motivation to play .... I prefer the student to be led while I follow and give direction. These books are perfect for that. The student and the teacher can discuss what they learned from the lessons together and even come up with ideas for themselves.
