Keyboard & Piano Basics: Notes, Scales, Chords and Sargam

Learn the keyboard layout, finger technique, major scales, chords and easy melodies — Western notes with Indian sargam

Ghosla Academy · Music Team

This course builds a strong keyboard foundation from zero. You will learn how the keyboard is laid out, how to find every note, how to sit and use your fingers correctly, and how to play major scales, chords and simple melodies with both hands. Because many Indian learners first meet music through sargam and harmonium, we connect Sa Re Ga Ma to Western note names so both systems make sense together. Short daily practice, a metronome and two recorded projects keep you moving forward — roz 15 minute, aur haath khud-ba-khud seekh jaate hain.

What you will be able to do

  • Find any note on the keyboard using black-key groups
  • Use correct finger numbers and a relaxed hand position
  • Play C, G and F major scales hands separately with standard fingering
  • Build major and minor triads and play common progressions like I–V–vi–IV
  • Read basic treble-clef notes and simple rhythms
  • Connect Western note names with sargam (Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Dha Ni)

What you build

  • Record C, G and F major scales with correct fingering
  • Two-hand arrangement: melody in the right hand, chords in the left

What you need to start

  • A keyboard with at least 49 keys (61 keys recommended) or access to a piano or harmonium
  • A phone for a metronome app and recording
  • No prior music knowledge needed
