You probably know how difficult it is to sight read piano music. It's hard to translate notes from traditional musical scores into the actual piano keys. Using keyboard chord names doesn't help much either. Learning hundreds of keyboard chords and their cryptic names is just as difficult as reading traditional notes.
Tablature has been already adopted by millions of guitar players worldwide for its simplicity and intuitive representation of music. Now, a similar approach based on the layout of piano keyboard can be used for sight reading piano and electronic keyboard music.
Musical directives in the currently available scores using Piano Tablature Notation are in plain English and are easy to understand. Even people who are unfamiliar with musical theory and terminology can play these pieces correctly and with proper style.
Play the musical pieces that have been transcribed into Piano Tablature Notation and see how easy it is to transform this notation into the beautiful sounds of piano!
You can also manually write notes for your own composed music, using Piano Notation Score Sheet (see below).
Purchase the book "Piano Music in Tablature" (see its description at the bottom of this page) and use the PC software program PTabViewer to view musical scores in Piano Tablature Notation.
