Displaying 'note keys/labels' on Garageband for iOS (specifically iPad)

I'm wondering if there is a way to display all the 'note letters' on the keys in the Keyboard on GarageBand for iOS.

At the moment it only displays the 'C notes' - for example C2, C3 and C4.

I have no 'music-based technical knowledge' or expertise and would appreciate any help in being able to see all the notes displayed.

Thanks for your help!


I'm pretty certain that there is no setting to overlay the note names on each key of the GarageBand-IOS keyboard. It's a reasonable question, and I found it repeated a couple of other times on discussion forums.

I submitted this to Apple as a feature request. I encourage you (and others) to do the same using this link.


In order to enable note labels, you have to open

“Settings” > “GarageBand”

and than you are able to toggle “Keyboard Note Labels”.
