Keyboards basic sheet music question

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

Hi, The sheet music for songs has this indication: key: C
(sometimes Cm, D, A etc)

what does that mean ?

Iam assuming just like we play scales, where we place our starting finger on
that key. Example if the song says play in the key of C, then i should position
my hand such that the thumb is on C. Lets say , if the song is to be played in
the key of A, then i should place my thumb on A (atleast have the finger
positioned that way to start with). Is that correct?
