To discover keyboard treasure and achieve your musical potential, imagine a globe of the earth. Visualize the northern hemisphere, the southern hemisphere, and the equator. Now visualize the city or town you live in. Your town is one location on the globe. Now visualize the grand staff of the piano. There is a top staff for the high notes, a bottom staff for the low notes, and in between the two staves is some space where you'll find a note with a short line through it - Middle C.
Middle C is the equator of piano land. Can you guess where the North Pole of Piano Land is? Yep - the highest note on the piano keyboard. And the South Pole is the lowest note on the piano. Of course there are a lot of C's on a full size piano (8 to be exact), but only one of those is Middle C. Just as your home town is one location on the globe, each line or space on the piano Grand Staff is one specific location, or key on the piano. So the Grand Staff is truly a map of the piano.
To discover your keyboard treasure, learn to visualize the keyboard as you are learning to read notes. If you're not doing this, you're wasting your time. You may know the name of a note, but if you can't find it on the piano it won't do you any good. Practice visualizing the piano when you play by keeping your eyes on the music instead of looking down at your hands, once you have your hand position. In this way you'll be forced to develop a piano keyboard in your imagination.
Over time, as you learn to play in different hand positions and keys signatures, you'll be drawing the piano keyboard in your mind. Once you are able to visualize the keyboard, you'll have this map forever. And you can use it to discover all kinds of keyboard treasure to achieve your musical potential. Such as playing scales and chords, memorizing music, and learning music theory for piano composition. That's a lot of musical treasure waiting for you. Start discovering it today by keeping your eyes on the piano map. And I promise you'll never lose your way in Piano Land!
