So I'm currently going through sheet music practices but have wondered how to the read the difference between when black keys and white keys are supposed to be played on sheet music? (they basically look the same to me on sheet music without any indication of when 1 should be played over the other) Is there a specific hint or something that tells when I'm supposed to be playing the black or white keys when they're on the same note? (ex. B3)
Any input is appreciated, thanks
Black keys = sharps & flats, they will be notated with a # or b. Or they will be notated in the key signature (i.e. what key youre playing in will designate which notes should be sharps or flats) e.g. G major has 1 sharp/#, F major has 1 flat/b and so on. Go google "circle of fifths" and google "key signatutes" for more.
