Letters on the keyboard

Every tile is one key. The letter is the note's name, the coloured strip matches the key below, and a dark tile is a black key. Read the top row with your right hand; the smaller row underneath is the left hand.

Wider tiles last longer and a line through a tile means hold it. New to letters? Start with the top row only: switch off "Left hand".

Press Listen to hear the song while the letters light up, then Practice: the sheet waits on each letter until you press that note, on your computer keyboard or on the keys that open under the sheet.

Moonlight Sonata letter notes: FAQ

What are the letter notes for Moonlight Sonata on piano?

The right hand opens with F# A C# C# C# F# C# F# A C#. The full melody is above, one phrase per line, with the left hand underneath in smaller letters.

How do I read piano letter notes?

Each letter is a white key named after it; a dark tile is a black key.

C is the white key just left of the two black keys; the keys go up C D E F G A B and repeat.
A # (sharp) is the black key just right of the letter; a ♭ (flat) is the black key just left of it.
Wider tiles are held longer. Switch on "Letters + octave" to see which C: middle C is C4.

Can I play Moonlight Sonata on my computer keyboard?
