Seven Letter Names

Name the repeating musical alphabet and find C.

One idea

Plain-language explanation

Music uses seven letter names: A B C D E F G. Then the pattern starts again at A. On a keyboard, find a group of two black keys. The white key immediately to their left is C.

Do this now

Three tiny steps

  1. Find any two black keys together.
  2. Touch the white key just to their left: that is C.
  3. Say the alphabet forward: A B C D E F G A.

Two-minute practice

Try it yourself

Find three different C keys. They all have the same letter name, just higher or lower voices.
