I am using this virtual piano. 

Natural notes on the piano

There are 7 natural notes on the piano represented by the white keys. The C major scale is formed of these 7 natural notes. This is the reason why C major scale is called the natural major scale. All other major scales use at least one sharp or flat note. 

All white keys on a piano are natural notes. The natural notes (or tones) have no sharps or flats. 

Sharp and flat notes on the piano

The black keys on the piano represent the sharp and the flat notes. 

C sharp major scale on the piano

The first note is C#.

2. A whole step from C# takes us to D#.

3. Another whole step takes us to F.

4. A half step takes us to F#.

5. One whole step higher is G#.

6. Another whole step higher is A#.

7. Another whole step takes us to C.

8. And finally, a half step higher than C is C#.

The C sharp major key signature has 7 sharps.

No E is played here. Instead, we have F and F# and C and C#.

D major scale

D to E, (whole-step)

E to F# (whole-step)

F# to G (half step)

G to A (whole-step)

A to B (whole-step)

B to C# (whole-step)

C# to D (half step)

The D major key signature consists of two sharps.

( Play in the order of ABCD…)

Whole steps and half steps on the piano

An interval is a distance between two notes. In this lesson, we will only learn about the half and whole-step intervals. Since we haven't learned key signatures yet, we'll relate them to the key of C Major, which has no sharps or flats. The C Major scale starts from C and ends at C.

The distance from B to C is a half step because no other notes fall between them. The distance from A to B, however, is a whole step because it consists of two half steps.

Naturally occurring half steps

Each note is a certain distance apart from the next, and they form a pattern that repeats. All Major scales follow this exact pattern: W W H W W W H (whole, whole, half, whole, whole, whole, half). The distance between the first two notes in a Major scale is a whole step. The distance between the 3rd and 4th notes and the 7th and 8th notes are half steps. Those are the two naturally occuring half steps in a major scale.

In a major scale, there are two naturally occuring half steps. In the key of C Major, those two half steps are between B & C and E & F.

Happy birthday on piano

5 Ukulele Strumming Patterns For Beginners

https://www.stringvibe.com/ukulele-strumming-patterns/

Chords vs. Notes

A “note” is a single tone. Pluck one string, and you’re playing a “note.”

A “chord” is any combination of two or more “notes.”

So if you pluck two strings simultaneously, you are playing a “chord.” A chord, therefore, is made

up of a combination of notes. Any combination will make a chord. Of course, some chords sound

better than others. But even if you pluck two discordant notes simultaneously, and make an

awful, annoying sound, you are still playing a “chord.” It’s just an ugly chord. Maybe it’s better to

stick with the beautiful chords, unless you’re writing a song about fingernails screeching across

a blackboard.

Strumming patterns

DDDD

It is like a waterfall. When you pluck the strings from top to bottom one by one.

 Marks the end of a section.

UUUU

It is like a spring. When you pluck the strings from bottom to top one by one.

Marks the beginning of a section with a thoughtful note.

 

Strumming in both cases produces very similar effects with subtle differences. 

---

DUDUDU…

Metronome

10 (larghassimo)= revealing the sceneries at the beginning of a scene.

20 (Grave) = Beginning of a song that tells a story.

40 (Largo) = When you continue a story then it provides a quick interval between two of its sections. 

60 (Larghetto) = When you continue a story then it provides a quick interval between two of its sub-sections. 

70 (Adagio) = Before the beginning of narration

The same concepts apply for both ukelele and guitar. Ukulele is suitable for simplicity and rustic stories, guitar for sophistication and grandeur. 

DDDU

 End of a section of the song being declared markedly. The beginning of the next section of the song is just hinted at. 

DDUDDU

Changes the mood of a narrative. 

DUDDUD

To announce that the narrative is to come to an end.

DDUUD

To mark that a narrative is to continue without any alteration.
