Names of the white keys on a piano - the musical alphabet

In this video lesson I show the names of the white keys on a piano - the musical alphabet (A B C D E F G). Children also get to play the scale from C to the next C using two hands, and to play ALL the keys on the keyboard in a silly way. The video also shows a fun game, "Funny Notes," that you can play with a partner to learn the names of the keys.

After you have learned the names of the keys, here are some online quizzes for more practice or to check your knowledge:
