How to Identify Flats and Sharps on the Piano

Comments Off

As a teacher, I help my students on how to identify flats and sharps on the piano with a simple visual. When something is flat (such as a flat tire), then it goes down. When something is sharp (such as a sharpened pencil), then it goes up. So on the piano, flats go down a semitone, and sharps go up a semitone. Flats go down, sharps go up. Pretty straight forward right?
