Unlike the English alphabet, the musical alphabet contains only seven letters:

A – B – C – D – E – F – G

After G, the sequence repeats:

A – B – C – D – E – F – G – A

Keyboard Example

Moving from one key to the next on a piano follows the musical alphabet.

Example:

C – D – E – F – G – A – B – C

These notes form the C Major Scale.
