A keyboard consists of a collection of keys that produce musical notes when struck. There are 88 keys arranged sequentially, starting from the lowest on the left and ending with the highest on the right. In the middle is the note middle C, while the treble clef is positioned to the right and the bass clef to the left. The player typically sits behind the instrument and employs both hands simultaneously.
The piano and organ are the most widely recognized instruments with a keyboard. There are also modern electronic versions that are smaller in size and easier to transport. Several other instruments, such as the xylophone, share the same key layout and note progression. Keyboards play an integral role in any orchestra or band, often providing the foundational melody while other instruments harmonize and create contrasts.
Compared to stringed, woodwind, or brass instruments, keyboards are easier to comprehend as the keys correspond to the notes on a musical score. For instance, an E is located adjacent to the F on the keyboard and positioned below it on the staff. The notes in both the treble and bass clefs are grouped together, and all sharps and flats are played by striking the black keys.
