To label piano key 61 on a standard 61-key keyboard, you'll need to understand how notes are organized, starting with Middle C (C3).
Finding Middle C and Numbering Notes
On a 61-key keyboard, you'll find six C notes in total. Locate the middle C, which is also known as C3. This is your reference point.
Identifying Key 61
Key 61 is the highest key on a standard 61-key keyboard. Since the keys are laid out in repeating octaves, to determine its label, we need to figure out which note it is, relative to C3.
Determining the Note Name
Assuming a standard keyboard layout starting on F2, key 61 will be F6.
- Key 1: F2
- ...
- Key 37: C4 (one octave above middle C)
- ...
- Key 61: F6
How to Label
Based on this, you label key 61 as F6.
