The piano is a beautiful layout to learn the theory of music, because all the notes are laid out so clearly on the piano. Really, I think, more clearly than on any other instrument. You can actually see and identify every note that a human being is capable of singing. It's especially good for singers, because it covers every note any singer can sing. And a little bit below, and quite a bit above. So we're going to start just by identifying every note by name on the piano.
