Keyboard:More on counting, finger numbers, and octaves

 In the online Keyboard course at Zelus Academy, understanding the difference between counting beats and finger numbers is essential for Keyboard online learning. When you count out loud in music, such as -1–2–3–4–1–2–3–4-, you are referring to the rhythmic beats in a bar (measure). This is different from finger numbering, where you use numbers 1 to 5 to represent the fingers, starting with your thumb (1) and ending with your little finger (5).

An octave is a sequence of eight notes. If you start from the middle C (the note located in the center of the keyboard) and play the eight notes in order — C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C — you’ll notice that the eighth note is also a C, but it’s one octave higher in pitch compared to the starting C. This repetition of notes in different octaves is foundational for playing scales and melodies.

Mastering the concept of octaves and differentiating between beat counting and finger numbers will help you play more fluently and understand the structure of the keyboard. Continue practicing these basics in the online Keyboard course to build your skills and confidence! Continue reading
