Technically, anything with a set of keys on a "board"-like structure- is a "keyboard". A computer keyboard , a cell phone keypad is also a keyboard. This is why most people refer to the piano as a "keyboard"
There are 12 main keys on the Piano. The keys follow the normal alphabetical order - beginning with A and ending with G. (Earlier pianos began with the "A" key, but a modern keyboard will always begin with a "C")
Piano Keys come in 2 sets of colors - Black and White.
The 12 keys are : A A # B C C# D D # E F F# G G#
# stands for "Sharps" - the sharps are are the "black" colored keys.
The 7 white keys are referred to as "flats" .
Knowing the names of the keys is a good way to start !
