Tips for playing A♯m(maj7) on piano
On piano, A♯m(maj7) has two black keys (A♯ and C♯) and two white keys.
Notice the E♯ in A♯m(maj7) (A♯ C♯ E♯ G𝄪): each note of the chord takes its own letter (A–C–E–G), so the perfect 5th has to be written E♯ rather than F — the same key on a piano, spelled to fit the chord.
