he black keys on a piano are known as sharps and flats.034 The first black key is B flat (Bb), followed by Bb, Ab, Gb, Eb, and Db. Cb and Fb are not usually denoted this way. Flats are always to the left of a note.5 Playing only the black keys on a piano creates a pentatonic scale, which is used in many music traditions around the world, such as Asian folk music and Celtic folk music.2 The pentatonic scale that involves all the black keys is either called the E minor pentatonic scale (because the root is E) or it is called the G major pentatonic scale (because the root is G). Historically, the colors on the piano were reversed (black naturals, and white sharps).
