key board to musical score-a link

When learning the keyboard's relationship to the musical score use colour as a link, in values darkest to lightest.  Lowest sounding octave to highest sounding octave.  Colour the notes on the scale to their corresponding octave.

Each octave has a name.




But, pitch notation is just one way of referencing notes. Each octave, as well as each C, has its own universal name. These are as follows:

• Octave Names (pictured above):
  
  C0 - B0: sub-contra octave (A0 is the lowest pitch on a full piano)
  
  C1 - B1: contra octave
  
  C2 - B2: great octave
  
  C3 - B3: small octave
  
  C4 - B4: one-line octave, or 2nd small octave (contains both middle C and A440)
  
  C5 - B5: two-line octave, or 3rd small octave
  
  C6 - B6: three-line octave, or 4th small octave
  
  C7 - B7: four-line octave, or 5th small octave
  
  C8 - B8: five-line octave, or 6th small octave (C8 is the highest pitch on a full piano)
