Locating piano notes instantly requires you to visualise the notes in your head with your eyes closed and be able to say the note you see without counting up from some known reference note. When learning the notes, do so in a random fashion to break up the brains serial memory ability. The serial memory is great for hearing melodies, but when you need to locate root notes of chords, you need to do this instantly.
The first step to remembering all the notes is to visualise the keyboard as two groups of notes.
Visualise the black note patterns to find the white notes. The black notes are named from the white notes. A flat note is the next note directly to the left. A sharp note is the nest note directly to the right. Never count-up to find notes, you need to identify notes instantly.
