KMA-10 - About Beginning Piano Study With Key Maps - 36 pages - This article begins by covering some of the same ground covered in article KMA-05, emphasizing the role of the incredible design of the keyboard. The present article then goes on to compare the key maps with the grand staff, demonstrating how much easier the key maps are to learn and read. It provides comparisons of how the 12 key positions on the key maps replace the 88 key positions of the grand staff. Key maps have notes for black keys, but the grand staff has no notes dedicated to the black keys. The grand staff uses an incredibly complex series of #, b, ##, and bb codes to modify the natural notes before they can identify which keys to play. Profusely illustrated in full color.
