My problem is the REVERSE!! I’m proficient with the black notes and a few
white notes, but primarily use the black notes as my chord roots. How do I
learn to use the white notes? If I can master whites notes, I will have
mastered the best of both worlds, black & white notes. I don’t read music,
I play by ear and can play nearly anything using the black notes, albeit in
minor, and everyone is always amazed, but seriously, it is not a talent,
it’s a bad habit. White notes for me are discordant. 🙁

if you familiarize yourself with the basic scales and chords, along with
fingerings, it will help you expand your keyboard knowledge and awareness.
Try learning the major scales and the major & minor triads. Each scale you
learn should open up new possibilities for your natural musical abilities.
Good luck!
use your middle finger.
Nice piano. What model is it?
It’s a Mason & Hamlin AA.
