As a mature learner, this system looked promising and simple enough for me to follow. On my first day of following this system, I can now play 'Happy Birthday' from memory using both hands! It's a simple song, of course, 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 and a few pages on 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 right off the bat. My Yamaha has 61 keys so I followed the respective diagram and ten minutes later I was ready to learn. The system is (relatively) simple. The notes in the book reflect the now colored keys on your keyboard. If a note falls on a line, push that colored 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. There are two lines of music for each song. The top line is played with your right hand and the bottom line is played with your left hand. I understand 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. l by crunch l Top favorable review"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 Texas,Can't explain the emotion I felt playing 2 handed after years of 1 handed play whizzy35 (196*) Absolutely amazing, my son with the attention span of a gnat, learned in 45 mins! clairer5775 (66*)My 9yr old who has ADHD loves this.

He has learning difficulties. I bought him your book, it is bright and easy to understand now he as regained his interest in the piano and he loves it. Thank you very much hazeltomcai3 This piano method is visual - You don’t need to learn the notes or their names and not just for beginners. All grades of music are possible and transition to ordinary music notation is easy when you want to Be a winner and have your musical world opened up.Good luckRussell Ambrose Here is more comment. Thank you and keep ‘em coming, why be shy?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 Pilgrim, East Sussex 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. Sharon Hardwick –kimbeverley 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. 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 -grahamc7459 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 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, Chelmsfo Greetings Mr. Ambrose, It would be great to be able to print your staff paper as a pdf, so as to create my own notations and be able to share them. I could try to replicate it, but I'd prefer to pay you for the right to print it. I feel that your creation is ABSOLUTE GENIUS! And I feel you should benefit from you contribution you've made, not only to teaching, but to music as a whole. A wonderful insight: for teaching, sharing, and really perfecting the notation for keyboard music. Please forgive me for going on... but I must say, "This is the strongest and simplest change to the idea of notation that I have ever seen". It creates a direct relation that is intuitive, rather than relational. I don't need a formula to understand this, it is inherent in it's simplicity and it's beauty. Of course, I'm preaching to the Choir Master, please for give me for my ranting to you. Thank you for your insight and sharing it. Frank Whetstine Texas (russell> You can print blank music pages free of charge in the application which you can download for free from my website) 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” 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? I just wanted to apologise that i left feedback before reading your note on feedback. Wanted to say that your system is excellent. I have always wanted to learn piano and i have finally cracked it. i regret jumping the gun on the feedback as now i can't let others know of my experience. Sorry but thank you for very much.
