Performing Numbered Music On Keyboard
It is possible to perform music in numbered musical notation in the tradition way. The player first locates the root note of the key on the keyboard and then mentally map the number to the keys on the keyboard. This should not be difficult for someone who can play the scales with traditional piano training.
A simple way is to transpose the root note to where the middle C is. The music can then be performed with the same fingering as in C Major. This approach actually reduces the 12 sets of fingering down to one. The method is described in MRN Method (Middle Root Note Method).
