This revolutionary new technology has entirely eliminated “Traditional music notation” making it simple, easy and fun to be able to play in minutes not years. The Gini Music Method™ serves as a learning roadmap to encourage anyone to want how to learn how to read music by eliminating intimidation, confusion, complexity and the fear of failure.

A message from Giovanni

Since I was a young boy studying the piano at the Russian Music Conservatory, I always felt judged and forced to have to mimic someone else’s fingerprint by practicing Mozart, Beethoven and all of the other great composers. I never understood or ever accepted to play anyone else’s creations unless I interpreted it as I felt it and not by following note by note of what was written. That is when I started developing a new music notation that eliminated all of the confusing sharps, flats, staff and symbols that are taught in the traditional music notation.

Nobody has been able to figure out a better form of music notation than the Traditional Music that was developed over 2500 years ago.

Until now…
