C-sharp or D-flat, whichever you prefer.More infoBlack keys are simply called "Black Keys"; they signify half-steps of whole notes. Although the distance between the black keys are essentially a whole step, they are a half-step above/below it's neighboring white key. As a scale goes A, B, C, D, E, F, G; the black key between C and D's name is automatically chosen whether you are in a sharp key or flat key, In A-flat major this key is called D-flat (has to be) but in the A major scale this key is called C-sharp.
A flat is the name given to the black key directly left to a white key. e.g The black key to the right of C can either be called D Flat (left of D) or C Sharp (right of C). It's the same key and also sounds the same.
imagine a piano without black keys. black keys play the note in between the white keys creating have steps. without the black keys, you wont know where a certain note on the piano, because the black keys create a pattern so you know where notes are.
C is the white key to the immediate left of any set of two black keys together on a keyboard instrument
Any note which is "flat" is always one half step lower that the specific white note you're talking about, B-flat is one half step lower than B, so that is the black key just to the left of B. Thus A-flat is the black key just to the left of A, G-flat is the black key just to the left of G, E-flat is the black key just to the left of E and D-flat is the black key just to the left of D. For C-flat and F-flat, there are no black keys between B and C & E and F so therefore C-flat would have to be B and F-flat would have to be E. Any note which is "sharp" is always one half step to the right of the specific white note your labelling. Thus F-sharp is the black key directly to the right of F, G-sharp is the black key to the right of G, A-sharp is the black key to the very right of A. C-sharp is the black key to the right of C and D-sharp is the black key to the very right of D. For E-sharp and B-sharp, since there is no black key between the notes I mentioned above, E-sharp would sound the same as F and B-sharp would be the same as C. Most of the time when we're talking about "sharps" and "flats", we're referring to a black key.

The note c is the white key on the left side of the two black keys. The d is the white key in between the two black keys.

'A' is the white key in between the second and third black key in the group of three black keys. 'B' is the white key to the right of the three black keys. 'C' is the white key to the left of the two black keys. 'D' is in between the first and second black key of the two black keys. 'E' is the white key to the right of the two black keys. 'F' is the white key to the left of the three black keys. 'G' is the white key between the first and second black keys of the group of three.
if the key is black, it is a sharp. the white keys are the natural notes. there is c, and the black key next to it is c sharp. hope this helps!

A piano has black keys and white keys. on the white keys the notes include of - C,D,E,F,G,A,B and the black keys are called sharps and flats. W=white key, B=black key. WBWBWWBWBWBWW C D E F G A B C I know I've written this very confusingly but I hope some of it helped :)
F# and C# are both black keys. If you find three keys and then two keys the C will be to the left of the two keys. the C# will be the first black key in the set of two. The F# will be the the first black key in he set of three.
Find a teacher, watch a video, etc. A piano has 88 keys. The first note is A. The second is B, then C, D, E, F, and G. The black key to the right of a note is called a sharp. The black key to the left of a note is called a flat.
