A classical piano has a total of 88 keys- 52 white keys and 36 black keys. The keys are not at alternative positions, but there is a specific pattern. This pattern has five black and seven white keys. The interval formed after a specific pattern is called the octave. This interval is the musical distance between two sounds.
The highest keys are on the right and the lowest area on the left. Every key is a half step higher than the key before it. So, to make a full step, one needs to go up or down two half steps.
