Easy meets fun
Learn piano fast and effectively at home
Piano players of all skill levels are attracted to the look and feel of Music Lyceum’s piano tab. Our simple system of notating music addresses each notes location on the keyboard, proper fingering, and timing. The piano keyboard is split into seven colored octaves. This makes it easy to find the location of each note of the song you are learning. Each piano tab ‘character’ tells you three things: which note to play, the location of the note on the keyboard, and which hand and finger to use. The characters are laid out in melodic phrases, similar to measures in standard music notation.

For many people traditional sheet music is the barrier that has prevented them from playing the piano. Millions of people have tried and failed to learn piano and the reason was not that they couldn’t play, it was that the experience of learning to read traditional sheet music was difficult and overwhelming. They didn’t fail at playing the piano, they simply lacked the desire to spend years learning how to read music. Instead of struggling to learn how to read music, focus your time and energy on learning to play piano. You’ll have fun building a repertoire of great songs from our ever-expanding tablature library and you’ll do it at a pace that was never before possible.
Hit the right note
The world’s first and only piano tablature system
Tablature is a system of notation that clearly shows the player where to place their fingers upon the instrument. Through Music Lyceum’s piano tab you can learn to play the song of your choice using a color-coded system that clearly indicates which note to play, exactly where to play it, and with which hand and finger to play each note.
The illustration below on the left is an excerpt from Chopin’s Waltz in A minor as it appears in standard music notation. The illustration on the right is the same piece of music translated note for note into Music Lyceum’s piano tab. Unless you have in-depth knowledge of reading music, the standard notation is nearly impossible to understand. The piano tab however, clearly displays the exact same music in an easily understood format.
