The Home Row

The home row is the set of keys that are the base position for fingers. These are the keys located on the middle row of the keyboard. Always try to return your fingers to the base position when you are not typing. Keyboards usually have small bumps on the F and J keys. They help the users locate the base position without having to look.

Place the index fingers over the “F” and “J” key.

First strike middle C, then play the next seven white keys in succession, going (to the right) up the keyboard. C, D, E, F, G, A, B and the next key you played would be a C, one octave higher. This is where the pattern of keys repeats itself. You just played a C major scale, in fact. Here are the note names for the C major scale: Moving up from C, you have the notes D, E, F, G. When you get to G, think “Go” as in “go back to the beginning of the alphabet, A and B.” The most important musical scales are typically written using eight notes, and the interval between the first and last notes is an octave. For example, the C major scale is typically written C D E F G A B C, the initial and final Cs being an octave apart. Two notes separated by an octave have the same letter name and are of the same pitch class.
