5ths

To do this tutorial you need to know the note names.

Summary

A 5th is either:

  • two white notes that have 3 white notes in between (e.g. C-G), or
  • two black notes that have 2 black notes in between (e.g. Eb-Bb),

with the exception of B-F# and Bb-F.

To do

Practice playing 5ths on the piano, remembering to include some that start on B or Bb.

Sign up to my Piano Chords course to learn how to use 5ths in context.
