ThumMusic System

I've placed a PowerPoint presentation on the website describing the ThumMusic System. It's a large file (25MB) because it includes an audio track of me narrating each slide. A version without narration is much smaller, and can be found here; its "note pages" contain the same info as my vocal narration. If you print out the notes pages and read from them as you click through the slies, you'll get the same information, albeit less conveniently.

The ThumMusic System is so visually-oriented that it is much more easily understood by viewing a presentation than by reading a text description (although a text description can be found as HTML here and as PDF here).

If you don't have PowerPoint installed, you can watch the presentation using a PowerPoint Viewer, available for Windows & Mac.

Hi Jim,
I like your music system because it is some what similar to the system that I patented. I use and isomorphic design like yours but mine is laid out like a traditional piano. Check it out at www.uniformkeyboardsystems.com I would like your feedback as well at jcsaltsman@comcast.net Also, any tips that you have on getting my invention to market would also be a very big help

Thanks, Joe Saltsman
