The six pages of this unit PSW-12 aredesigned to help you organize the loose leaf

units of thi s instructional unit in a 3-ringview-binder. This PSW-12 unit consist s of

front and back covers for your first binder, awelcome page and a table of contents for the

pages that follow.

Print this uni t on both sides of the page, just

as you should do for all of the pages in thisworkshop. You will need a 3-ring view binder and a 3-hole punch so that you can insert thepages into the binder. Also, you would do wellto get a set of numbered 5-tab dividers to set

up this firs t section and be ready for the other 4 sections of your instructional materials that

Welcome to the MIW Piano Student's Workshop

The workshop inclu des three series of preparatory lessons designed to h elp you get startedplaying the piano (or other keyboard) quickly and wit h a minimum of stress. These lessons w illprovide you wit h enough instru ctional material for several years of study. You will do your best if

you have a good teacher or coach - but if you're on your own , these lessons will still pro videenough inform ation to help you get off to a reasonably good s tart.

The first series of lessons, PK Series, (PK for Prep-Keyboard) focuses on the keyboard, asopposed to traditional lessons that focu s on learning to read notes. The lessons use keyboarddiagrams and maps literally to show you where to put your fingers on th e keyboard to play themusic. You will be pleased at how quic kly you will be able to learn to p lay songs and oth er melodies.

The second series of lessons, PC Series, (PC for Prep-Chords), will help you get off to a good star playing cho rds along with the melodies that you play. Finally, the third series of lessons, PGSeries, (PG for Prep-Grand Staff) wil introdu ce you to reading st andard music notation on th eGrand Staff. By the time you reach this poin t, you will already be playing the piano with someease and skill. This ability will greatly help you wit h the major task o f learning to read standardnotation.

You probably wonder why we don't start by us ing the standard notation in our fir st series. Theanswer is very simple. As it turns o ut, learning to play the keyboard with a reasonable amount of skill is a good bit easier than learning t o play from th e standard notation. This notation, wond erfulas it is, is an abstract code that bears no visu al relationshi p to what you do with y our fing ers onthe keyboard. This co de takes a great deal of effort and an agonizingly long time to learn. If youwant to b ecome a skill ed pianis t, you wi ll want to learn th is no tation . BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TOSTART WITH IT!

Several parallels to th is approach co me to mind. The first is the way that children learn to r eadtheir own language. Parents don 't begin a young child's education with boo ks to r ead. First, thechild mu st begin learning his s poken languge - both listening and talking . Then, early in thisprocess p arents give the chil d PICTURE books to read. After some sk ill has b een gained ininterpreting the pict ures, he or she can then begin learning to read the abstract code that we usefor th e written language. Clearly, the language skill must c ome before the reading skil l. You canlearn to play the piano BEFORE you need to learn to read the notation.

Another parallel that comes to mind is in the realm of computers. Not many years ago, if onewanted to use a computer, he or sh e had to learn a very complicated compu ter code. The codesstill exist because they are necessary when talking to a compu ter. But only a few people need toknow the codes. The rest of us use something called a "Graphical User Interface (GUI)," -generally known as " windows ." It has also been known as "p oint and click." Our key diagramsand maps are point and cli ck images for t he keyboard. Notes are placed on an image of thekeyboard (diagram or map). On the image, you see which key the note is on , you poin t a finger to that key on the keyboard, and cli ck (play) the matching key.

Here's wishing you a lifetime love affair with th e keyboard and the wonderful music th at you willbe making! So let's get started!

About the Octave Group Locator Labels

These labels are designed make it easy for you to findspecific octave groups on your keyboard. They are to be

cut out and placed directly on your keyboard behind theblack keys to identify by location and color, each of the 7octave groups on your piano. (The labels also identifyeach key by i ts letter name.) Other smaller keyboardsmay use fewer than the seven labels prov ided.

The labels stand up behind the black keys, in theslot/groove/crack between the black keys and the uprightpart of the piano just behind them. Most of the time, theywill stay in place without getting in your way. You canleave them there as long as they remain helpful.

Eventually, you will have no need for them.

The label that you will refer to most is the green one thatyou place in the center of the keyboard. It marks thelocation of Middle C. Place the rest of the labels on either side of the green one in the order that they belong, usingthe numbers on the labels to guide you. The labelnumbered 1 should be placed at the far left of thekeyboard, and the rest of them in order by number to theright of it.

If you have a keyboard with l ess than 7 octave groups , just start by placing the green label in the middle octaveof your keyboard. Then place the other labels that your keyboard requires on either side of it, in order with thelowest number at the left.

When all of the 5 small black squares on a label arehidden behind the 5 black keys in any octave group onyour keyboard, you wil l know that the label is placedcorrectly.

The Long Cracks in the Keyboard . The key groups areseparated by the " Divider Cracks " (between keys E and F) and the"Border Cracks " (between keys B and C). These cracks, along with

the fronts and backs of the keys, make boxes that you can see.

The Goalposts . The goalposts help you find keys on thekeyboard with a minimum of di fficulty. They are the middle keys(key 4) of each High Group. They separate the mus ical alphabets

on the keyboard. They are between keys G and A, the last and firs tkeys of the musical alphabet. Because of this location, you will

Octave Group With Names and Addresses

Names and Addresses of the Keys A set o f useful sk il ls that you wi ll develop inthis uni t is the ability to find the keys on the keyboard by knowing their names and/or addresses. They provide another way of finding on the keyboard the keys that themusic diagram tells you to play.


Standard Names for the Keys of the Keyboard The yellow row of NAMES near the top of the diagram disp lays the universally accepted names of the WHITE keys of alloctave groups and of the notes that stand for these keys. The names of the notes for thewhite keys are the 7 letters of the alphabet: A thru G. They are among the most helpfultools that you have for learning t o play. Because they are so important, we havedeveloped a set of c lues that wi ll help you remember the letter name of each whit e key.These clues are shown on the next page. You will learn about the STANDARD names of the black keys in later lessons that teach you about the notes of the Grand Staff.

Addresses of the Black Keys

One of the main uses of notes is to show you which keys to play. This use of notes is allabout FINDING the keys on the keyboard. Finding a key means that you must know it 'sLOCATION. You must know WHERE it is. This is the reason for the ADDRESSES. Theaddresses tell you where the key is. You find black keys by knowing their addresses.These addresses are simply 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, from left to righ t, as you can see highlightedin blue in t he diagram above. You find white keys by knowing which bl ack keys they arenext to.

You don't need any clues to locate the black keys. You simply need to remember howthey are numbered. You fi rst need to locate an oct ave group. This is essential. Then yousimply number the 5 black keys from LEFT to RIGHT. Keys 1 and 2 are in the " low g roup"at the low (left) end of the octave group . Keys 3, 4, and 5 are in the "high group" at thehigh (right) end of the octave group - as you can see in the diagram above. With a lit tlepractice, you wil l soon be able to look at a black key and know i ts number without anycounting at all.




34/84

Clues for Remembering the Names of the White Keys

Crack for C Key

This clue focuses on border cracks inthe keyboard between octave groups.

Each Crack key lies at the r ight edge of aborder crack separating octave groups.

Double for D Key

This clue depends on seeing black keys1 and 2 as double black keys. The keybetween them is the Double whi te key(because it is between them).

End for E Key

This clue depends on recognizing lowkey groups on the keyboard. Each Endkey is at the right end of a low keygroup.

How do these clues for the whitekeys work?

The clues are visual in nature. Theyneed to be visualized to be helpfu l.

Front for F Key

This clue depends on recognizing high

key groups on the keyboard. Each Frontkey (reading left to right) is at the fron t of a high key group.

Goal for G Key; Alpha for A Key

This clue focuses on the goalposts (middlekey of each set of 3 black keys). Thegoalposts form borders between musicalalphabet sets: the white key on its l eft is G,the last key of an alphabet set; and thewhite key on its right is A, the first key of the next alphabet set.

It will help to think of all goal posts asmarking off the locations of completealphabet sets, A th ru G. The Goal key c lue,evokes the idea that there is a goal to get tofrom the beginning to the end of thealphabet. The key address Alpha, evokesthe idea of a new beginning for thealphabet.

Back for B Key

This clue also depends on recognizing highkey groups on the keyboard. Each Back keyis at the back of a high key group.
