Color Music® is a ridiculously good way to learn music. Using color, it lets you see sound—so it’s easy to play any instrument. In a nutshell, this is how it works. When you put color and music side by side, the two patterns look similar:

Color + Music

Only, these patterns aren’t just similar … they’re identical. For example, in the color wheel, red and green are complete opposites. And in music, C and Gb are opposites, too. But the connection doesn’t stop there. All the patterns you see in color follow the exact same patterns in music.

So when you combine color and music, you can actually see how notes work:

Color Music

You just have to rearrange the notes into what’s called the “chromatic scale.” And once you do, you can quickly play any scale, chord, progression, and song. Think of it as a kind of x-ray vision that lets you see how sound works.

Chromatic Scale

Once you see what you’re doing, it’s easy to play any instrument … whether it’s the piano, guitar, trumpet, cello, or whatever—seriously. And because the colors on your instrument(s) match the patterns of music notation, you’ll also learn to read music at the speed of light.

4 - Instruments

In fact, because you already know about colors, it’s also easy to learn the vocabulary of music. By following basic color patterns, you’ll understand words like “minor-third,” “tonic,” “sharp-five,” etc. The patterns are all laid out … right in front of your eyes.

But don’t be fooled. While it’s easy to understand, Color Music isn’t some cheap fix. For musicians, this is the “holy grail” of patterns. The one that people have been trying to find for a very long time. And once you see how it works, you’ll be playing better than you ever thought was possible.
