Are you a piano beginner or a piano teacher? While finding the right piano keys can be a challenge in the beginning, colored piano key labels can really be a big help. Colored piano key labels are stickers or markers that attach to the keys of a piano and display the corresponding note names. Each note is usually represented by a different color, creating an easily distinguishable visual aid for beginners. These labels are often sold as ready-made sets.
Colored piano key labels are primarily used as a learning tool for beginners. They help new students quickly identify and locate notes on the keyboard, facilitating the process of learning to read music and play songs. By providing a clear visual cue, these labels make it easier for students to remember note positions and reduce the initial complexity of playing the piano.
Make your Own Piano key Labels
Cut out the color labels in the right size for your piano. Stick the individual color labels onto the respective piano key using a piece of adhesive tape. Use our piano notes chart to know which label goes on which piano key!
When using colored piano keys it works best in combination with songbooks that put the notes in color as well. In that way, young students can easily learn their first songs on the piano. Check out our songbook of easy piano songs for kids.
While colored piano key labels are a great starting aid, gradually removing them as the student becomes more confident and skilled is essential to developing comprehensive piano playing skills.
