Build Piano Keyboard Project

Students will create their own 4 octave piano keyboard using white foamboard 5"x26.75". They will divide the board into 7/8" "keys" then, using foam craft paper, cut the "black" keys 3/8"x3" and glue them in the proper place on the keyboard. In order to make the "black keys" feel right, they will need to put 3 more layers on them to raise them up.
