First things first!

To play piano, you need to know your finger numbers and piano key names!

Guess the finger number, then click the arrow to the right to reveal the answer.

When you get 10 in a row correct, you’re good to go!

The fingers are numbered beginning with the thumb as finger 1.

The piano keys are named A-B-C-D-E-F-G.

Notice that the white keys around the 2-black-key groups are C-D-E (D, is in the middle, like a Dog in his house!)

Around the 3-black-key groups are the white keys F-G-A-B. (Like a regular people-house with a Front and Back door- and inside is a baby that says GA-ga!)

Guess the letter of the piano key, then click the arrow to the right to reveal the answer. Click again to go to the next question. When you get 7 in a row correct, you’re good to go!
