so please play this piano and tell me what the keys mean: http://www.virtualpiano.net/
A key is the root note of a scale. The key of “F#” can correspond to any one of the scales that use F# as a root, most commonly F# Minor and F# Major.
So when I play the “F#” button on this virtual piano I’m not actually playing a key that I can find at the Cammelot Wheel? But actually a group of keys??
No, youre playing a single note, a note which is the root of a scale, called a key. The virtual piano is just a virtual piano, its not some special “find the key” tool.
Ok I get it, It is more complex that I thought. Thanks bro
I believe if you pick up a beginners any strin instrument book it will help.. Keys and scales most people learn ad grow accustomed to it. I also was merely pointing out I do not believe any are 100% accurate but they are usually close enough to not lead you astray… Also a big thing is you do not always have I follow these guidelines for having great sounding mixes but they are merely aids until you develop the skill to be automatic
Hope you understand how it works now! Or are atleast on the right track
