The only instructions I gave these objective pianists or budding pianists was to put their correct finger on the first key or note of the song, and I said, “Go!” I gave them 45 seconds to read theTraditional Music Notation and 45 seconds to read the EZ/MUZIK ™ METHOD Music Notation. Watch these videos and you will see for yourselves how much easier EZ/MUZIK ™ Notation turns out to be.
Notice the struggle on the student’s face and how mechanical they play with traditional notation.
Again, notice the stilted sound and the extreme concentration to get very little music output.

“Why”, you ask? Are you ready for a brain freeze?
Traditional notation is written on a two separate staffs. It has ten lines, and ten spaces just in the area of the staffs, not to mention if you go above High G or below D in the Treble clef and above B and below F in the bass clef. Your eyes are moving up and down as your read left to right and sometimes the right is going up, while the left is going down and while reading from left to right and let’s add, while simultaneously deciphering ½ notes ¼ notes 1/16 notes and whole notes and rests. Plus if it is a difficult key, which has numerous sharps and flats, you have to remember to sharp or flat each note that is corresponding to the key.
Example key of E has 4 sharps f# g# c# d# every time you see any of those notes you have to remember to sharp them as they are not written out only at the beginning of the clef. Melodies and harmonies are all broken into four count bars that don’t really give you a clue to the where the actual groove or melody of the song is.
With traditional notation you are reading the Right Hand Notes:Every - Good Boy- Does –Fine on the lines. *F-A-C-E is in the space. Left Hand Notes:Good – Boys -Do – Fine Always is in the space. All - Cats - Eat – Garbage Bones on the lines
While simultaneously reading the left hand or bass clef, left to right up and down. Which are two whole steps above the treble clef in reading which is still confusing for me to this day, after 35 years of reading music.
Why is the left hand or bass clef have to be different from the right or treble clef? Why isn’t it the same?
Now you see why so many students quit music. It is way to mentally mathematically correct and not GROOVY like the music we play today.
