Drawing Notes:
You are looking down from the top onto this piano. The keys are located at the bottom of the page. The lid is closed, you cannot see the hundreds of strings in the body of the piano that would be used to produce the sound of this grand piano.
Fun Fact:
The piano is considered to be both a string instrument and a percussion instrument.

Drawing Notes:
Our piano could be any one of the seven grand pianos mentioned below. The keyboard is at the bottom of the page. Our drawing has only 29 of the 88 keys shown due to the size of the drawing.
Fun Facts:
There are two primary types of pianos: upright and grand. Upright pianos, also called vertical pianos, are constructed with the strings oriented vertically. Grand pianos, known as horizontal pianos, are oriented horizontally with the strings extending out from the keyboard.
Within the grand piano family, there are seven different size classifications of grand pianos. The exact sizes may vary, but here are the commonly accepted classifications of grand pianos:
Petit grand: The smallest size of grand piano, petit grand pianos range from about 4′ 5″ to 4′ 11″ in length.
Baby grand: One of the most popular grand pianos for domestic use, baby grand pianos measure between 5″ and 5′ 5″.
Medium grand: Also known as a classic grand, ranges from 5′ 6″ to about 5′ 8″.
Professional grand: also referred to as full grand pianos and measure between 5′ 9″ and 6′ 2″ long.
Parlor grand: Measuring between 6’3″ and 6′ 10″, parlor grand pianos are another popular choice for home use.
Semi-concert grand: Also known as a ballroom grand, a semi-concert grand measures between 6′ 11″ and 7′ 8″ in length.
Concert grand: The largest size of grand piano, concert grand pianos typically measure about 8’11” to 9″, but can sometimes be even larger.

Drawing Notes:
The full width lines indicate the five lines that draw a staff. We used drawings of half notes and placed them going up the staff.
If we put our bass clef at the left end of the staff, our lines would be for notes G, B, D, F, A, starting with second octave G if we are writing piano music.
If we wanted to play that second octave F, we would place it right below the bottom line of the staff.
And if we needed the second octave E, we would add a short horizontal line to hold our note symbol.
Fun Facts:
For centuries, people have been using symbols to show the pitches and rhythms of songs. On our web site, you can find many of the musical symbols still being used today.

Drawing Notes:
Here you have black keys (shorter) and white keys (longer) so that you can play a chromatic scale.
