The Middle ā€œEā€ Key

 Up to this point you have been playing keys anywhere on the piano and with either hand.  Now we will learn where one particular key is. You have already learned where the E keys are.  Now, see if you can find the E at the very middle of your keyboard.  Be careful, on some keyboards the very top E or the very bottom E may be hard to pick out.  Usually the middle E will be under the left side of the brand name of your instrument.

Now, using your RIGHT hand, place your THIRD finger on the middle E.  Your thumb should fall on C and your pointer finger should be on D.

Your hand should look something like this.
