Review (PDF) Hal Leonard Student Keyboard Guide: Hal Leonard Student Piano Library
(Educational Piano Library). This handy reference for beginning students clearly shows the note names and the note positions on the treble and bass clefs. The front of the guide fits behind all 88 keys of any piano, and the back of the guide is a practice keyboard.

I debated between this keyboard guide and the stickers and then chose this. It's great as you can easily take it away once certain notes are mastered and always bring it back again to introduce or reinforce new notes. It also has the musical keys on it (not visible in the picture they have of it on here), so you don't just have the letter names but also see on this guide what the note looks like in the staff.
This is a worth buy if you are a adult beginner like me. Gives an idea about all 88 keys on a Piano/Keyboard (I have a 61 keys Yamaha YPT-320). Recommended as an add on to any other tutorial/book
Why do products such as these, made of paper/cardboard, attach a label that ruins the product when you try to remove it? Why not simply attach an easily removable label?
I ordered this for my 7 year old who is just learning piano. I expected something flimsy, but when it arrived it was actually very nice! It stands up well, and also folds up well. Very well made, and a worthwhile purchase!
Thank you for such speedy delivery and for a superior product. We have 2 pianos so wepurchased 2 of these -one for both of my daughters whom are just starting piano lessons. EVERYONE should have this if you're just starting to learn how to play. It's way easier on you and your piano to use this rather than placing stickers on the keys. This is a phenomenal invention. Thanks again and will recommend to EVERYONE that will listen;-) Also, if you havea toddler you can say. play me a C note (teach them where middle C is) and then say play another C, or a D, E, F, etc. This will help them learn part of the alphabet also so it's educational in that way also.
It's difficult to "bridge the gap" between the notes on the music and what keys they correspond with. This is a great teaching too. It's visual. I treat is as something I want my students to "memorize" as they would something for school. Not only does it show the names of the notes on the keys, more importantly, it shows the notes as they appear on the bass and treble staff.
I've only been learning for a few months so I'm pretty basic regarding my knowledge. I am learning fingering, pedaling, how to read music, what keys correspond to what notes and where they're located on the keyboard... it can be pretty overwhelming. I have a Yamaha P95 keyboard and this guide aligns perfectly with the keys. I find it very useful to use as a reference tool when I'm aligning to start a piece or if I get lost and need to reset my finger positions. Of note is that in addition to the keys and notes displayed in the picture, the musical notes are printed on the guide as well. Very useful that. The only problem I have is that I have the guide set upright at the back of the keys. The guide is about 5 inches high so it blocks the bottom measure of the sheet music on my stand. I get around this by propping my book up on the stand using an eraser. I'll have to find about a 1" square wooden dowel to do this so I don't have to balance the songbook. I didn't want to gig the product because of that because there are so many keyboard and piano designs that it's impossible for one size to fit all. On another keyboard, it may not block any piece of your songbook at all.
I can't believe how inexpensive this item is. ($1.99!!) And I can't wait to use it in my beginning keyboard class. I can see how it will help me visualize the proper keys.Another reviewer mentioned that it doesn't fit on the keyboard but I'm not worried about that. I plan to just lay it on the table and pretend play until I actually know a little (I know absolutely nothing now).I only wish the black keys were in the back as they are on a keyboard. Other than that I think it's a great learning tool.
