An integrated music tablature teaching and playing system using a dedicated web server (102) and software enabled portable viewing devices (104). Embodiments of the invention provide for the transfer of scrolling music tablature (106) comprising, but not restricted to, chords, lyrics, musical score and notation, from a web server (102) based library (108) to a portable viewing device (104), either specifically designed and manufactured, or enabled via a licensed software download (110), to allow the user to scroll the tablature (112) on the device (104) on primary screen (114) for the purposes of learning or playing the music. The web server (102) allows the creation of a shared library (108) of tablature in various formats by users which can then be transferred to a suitable licensed portable device (102). Devices are enabled by the download of a piece of software (110) that facilitates the interaction between the device (104) and the web server (102). Once the tablature is downloaded, the software (110) allows the user to alter the rate (116) at which the tablature (112) scrolls on the viewer, on primary screen (114) so as to be able to adjust for tempo and playing style.
