This method is visual. The difference to ordinary music is the colours and line spacing. This is not for you if you already read music. You don’t need to learn the notes or their names and it is not just for beginners. All grades of music are available, and 3,000 piano pieces are on our website, free of charge. Transition to standard music notation is easy when desired. For a quick start, place guide on your keyboard, for permanent use put the coloured stickers on the black keys.
Genuinely amazed I'm a 31 year old man and have never played piano or keyboard before. As a mature learner, this system looked promising and simple enough for me to follow. On my first day I can now play 'Happy Birthday' from memory using both hands! It's a simple song, but it sounds great and I've had nothing to teach me except this book.
The pack comes with a music book which includes 24 songs, how the system works, and a pack of stickers for you to place onto your black keys. The book also contains instructions on how to use the stickers on keyboards with a number of different keys, so most keyboards should be catered for.
My Yamaha has 61 keys so I followed the diagram and ten minutes later I was ready to learn. The system is (relatively) simple. The notes in the book reflect the now coloured keys on your keyboard. If a note falls on a line, push that coloured key. If it falls in the white space above or below that line, push that key instead. It's that simple! You still need to take a bit of time to read the music and understand which key you should be pressing, but the more you do so, the easier it becomes. The top line of the music is played with your right hand and the bottom line is played with your left hand. This is the case for all sheet music, so I think it'll make transitioning to traditional sheet music easier in future.
What I find interesting is how quickly the music began to sink into my memory. On day one, I can now play Happy Birthday without the book and using both hands. I'm now looking forward to learning the rest of the songs in this book including the more complex ones. For the price of this book, I couldn't possibly recommend it any more highly. crunch_0 25 Jun, 2017 Top favourable review

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 PianoTabs. 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. Sharon –kimbeverley
"When you create something that requires no explanation and it's use is understood in it's examination, when children fully grasp the meaning inherent in it's presentation... that sir, is genius" Frank Whetstine, music professional
I am absolutely amazed that I was able to progress as quickly as I have through the music. I have downloaded lots of additional songs from your online site and am having the time of my life learning new pieces. I have always wanted to play piano and always been too impatient to learn... this system is so quick to pick to up that this has not been a problem. I am still progressing (trying to separate my left and right hands is slower, but I can see this improving every time I play). I can now play River Flows in You by Yirama ... something I would never have dreamed possible!! It has been fabulous and I have recommended your system to everyone that will listen!! Thank you. xxx –chakayalf Debbie,
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. (ED, see my son Hugo Ambrose on youtube aged 4) 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. Regards, Marian –oddzanendz
I purchased the beginners book for PianoTabs and as a teacher I am very impressed and I am 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. Regards, Graham Cousins
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.
“One of the best things I've found about PianoTabs is that I've been able to learn 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,
Some feedback fun: -
“i hAVE MASTERED THE FDINGER EXERCISE BYT VERY SLOW GRASPING PIANO BUT THANKS” - I wonder why? you type so well
“This really works! I'm just having a hard time getting my left hand to join in!” - I have the same problem
“Bought this for me (25) lol and its GREAT 10 mins I played twinkle star pmsl FAB” - but what is PSML?
Thank you for your interest
Regards
