You do not want to learn boring and complicated traditional music theory? You just want to blow into your wind instrument (saxophone,tuba,trumpet,flute,euphonium,...) and play real song quickly? How? By using fingering images that are easy to play as ABC!
As a nerd innovator that started to play an instrument from scratch in my busy life of entrepreneur, CTO, dad, crossfit amateur, beef eater, I needed to find a way to learn fast and if possible, take some shortcut to enjoy playing saxophone asap.
As I didn't know absolutely nothing about music theory (aka solfege), this complex boring norm used to play any track in a finger snap (when you are used to read it), I detected that it will be a blocking point on my learning path.
So I decided to hack music theory and find a way to play any track in 2minutes taking into account my beginner level and my lack of theorical knowledge : quite a big challenge!
Playthatsheet.com was born out of this challenge and is now offering more than 20k tracks for free to be played with tablature (for sax,trumpet,tuba,recorder flute) or for more advanced player with solfege sheet, tempo change, transposition, play from mic, and more...

As a fellow nerd innovator (But not a beef eater ;)) I highly appreciate this. I'm actually proficient in reading music and music theory, but would still use this for learning a new instrument. It's smart, and well thought out. And I'll never have to spend hours annotating music with fingerings etc.
Nice work!

Hi Luc, your site looks awesome, seems you've invested lot of time in this project and its amazing you have so many music scores at one place as well.
Really like your idea of being able to play music with ease, think it might help people who just want to play some music as a part of creative therapy or similar.
Wish you all the best with your project
