Best Answer

Because C is the first note of the first scale in piano. A is the beginning of the alphabet, while C is the starting note on piano. On some pianos, A is the first note in the bass, making it the first note.

How do you find a C on a piano?

On a piano keyboard, C is the white key immediately below (to the left of) any group of two black keys. The rest of the white keys proceed in alphabetical order, starting with A (two white notes to the left of C), and ending with G, after which they start again with A. Visually, using a vertical bar (|) to represent a black key, it would look like this: . . . C | D | E F | G | A | B C | D | E . . . On a full-sized piano keyboard, the lowest key is A and the highest key is C, but this may not be the case on an electronic keyboard.
