Who should make music?

After playing through a couple of songs, we already have a good feel for how music works. And with Color Music, everything is nice and easy. In fact, it’s now so easy to play a melody that it makes me kind of wonder … what’s all the fuss about?

Seriously—people make a big deal about how hard music is. And some folks even spend years trying to understand it. But, honestly … how hard can it be? Now that we can see exactly what we’re doing, the sky is the limit….

But of course, things would be different if we had to start with traditional, black-and-white notation. For example, can you imagine playing a song like “Ode to Joy” for the first time—without color? Sure, we’d still be able to play this melody (now that we know which note is which). But it wouldn’t be nearly as fast or as fun.

Color Music not only lets us see which notes to play, but it also shows us why we’re playing them. And because it makes a clear connection between the notes on the staff and the notes on our instrument, we can really focus on enjoying music … not just playing it. Pretty cool, no?

So really, anybody can be a musician these days. Now that we’ve cracked the code to music, anyone can learn to play, right? The truth is, the learning curve just dropped. And that means we’re about to have a whole new wave of great musicians … and great music.
