New piano students hear a lot about middle C (also called C4) because it helps players position their hands correctly on the piano's keyboard. The notes around middle C provide a starting point for many piano songs, and middle C on the piano also creates a basic border between keys played with the left hand and keys played with the right hand.

Locate Middle C

To find middle C on a standard 88-key piano, position yourself at the center of the piano. The black keys alternate in groups of twos and threes: The C key sits directly left of the first black key in each group of two black keys. Then identify the C closest to the middle of the keyboard. There you have it: middle C. Take note of how many black key groups precede it to help you remember the location.

Why do people play piano on fire?

Piano Burning is an action of setting an acoustic piano on fire. It is usually ceremonial or for visual entertainment.

thepiano.sg - Why people burn their pianos | ThePiano.SG

A piano is often lamented as an expensive piece of equipment, easily costing thousands of dollars. However, did you know that there is such an act as Piano Burning?

That’s crazy, some may think, maybe the person is absolutely insane- or just really hates the piano. However, that is not so. Piano Burning is an action of setting an acoustic piano on fire. It is usually ceremonial or for visual entertainment. How this tradition began is a mystery. Some say that this may have started when the RAF decided that their pilots had to undergo etiquette training to have more decorum- which included learning the piano. The pilots detested these ‘unnecessary’ lessons, and thus burned the piano. Another myth is that an RAF fighter pilot who played the piano regularly in his squadron was killed in action. To commemorate his death, his squadron mates burned the piano, symbolising that the piano is played by him and only him. In present day, the burning of pianos are carried out in performances for entertainment or as a form of art. Several contemporary musicians have performed on pianos which have been intentionally set alight.
