Be a winner and have your world of music opened up

Good luck,

Russell

Below are some letters I have received. Thank you, and keep ‘em coming; don’t be shy:

I did leave feedback but there was not enough space to state what I wanted to. I have always loved music, but have never been able to sing or play an instrument. The Christmas before last my partner bought me a keyboard and it had been sitting gathering dust until I discovered Piano Tabs. I was amazed - for the first time in my life, at 46 years old I could actually read music! You 
have no idea how satisfying it was to "play" a recognisable tune! It is an 
absolutely fantastic system - lots of practice now, and this certainly 
makes it more pleasurable. Thank you so very, very much

Hi Russell 
I am really enjoying playing the piano this way. I started learning 50 years ago and had an older sister who was much better than me so gave it up. As you can imagine that put me off. Now this is pure joy and just for me. 
I have downloaded some more from your website but what I mustn’t do now is go forward to more difficult  tunes until I am fairly proficient. Having said that I do hope to play like Hugo, and then I would be entirely happy. I have  downloaded Blue Danube as Strauss was one of my favourites when my sister was playing - also Tales from the Vienna Woods. I didn't get that good to play it myself! 
I wish you the best of luck with it.

I purchased the beginners book for Piano Tabs and as a teacher 
I am very impressed and are keen to try out this system on children. I am 
interested to know if there are further tutor/music/song books available. 
If so, details please. I appreciate that plenty of music can be downloaded.

Got it yesterday and my wife was up all night going through your book, I awoke to hear music on the piano that we have had for 40 years (first time ever). I just wanted to say thank you and I have left positive feedback and 5 star rating. My wife is already talking about getting your other books once she masters this one. Thank you again, Dennis. -sellyourstuff4$$

“One of the best things I've found about Piano Tabs is that I've been able to learn a few classical pieces that had previously seemed far too advanced for what I had perceived my skill level too be. It is ideal for beginners but can also bring out the best in intermediate level and self taught players" David Reade Chelmsford

James Catterall, Professor of Music Education, University California LA:

“Two years of piano can increase children’s academic levels up to two letter grades, math scores up to 40%, and social skills up to two grades level”

The Important Elements of Ambrose Piano Method

1.      Have fun first. Choose your favourite tunes to make music before you learn any theory

2.      The music font size is kept large so you can read it easily

3.      A note on a colored line (through it) is always a black note. A note in a space between lines is  always a white note

4.      The lines are printed in the same pattern of two’s and three’s as the black keys. Visualise the colored lines in their 2 and 3 groupings. See the lines as the black keys

5.      Play the notes shown like reading letters across the page. When notes are in line vertically play them at the same moment in time

6.      Where the stems of the notes go down play them with your left hand and when they go up use your right hand. Right hand usually plays the red, green and purple notes; left hand usually plays blue, and orange notes

7.      The number above or below the note is the finger used. Your thumb on both hands is 1 and the little finger is 5. All fingering is optional and  numbers are a suggestion only, use whichever fingers you find more comfortable

8.      Faded notes (tied notes) are held down and not played twice

9.      Practice each hand part separately when perfect play both hands together
