Music is not just a process of learning where to put your fingers, or which note on the scale represents what.
Music, even the listening and singing of music, can be an amazing exercise for our brains.
Did you know that the brain lights up with activity?
When you listen to music, your brain lights up in the area of the brain used for listening.
When you learn to play music, as a novice,
your brain lights up on the left side, the analytical side.
A professional musician's brain lights up on the right side,
the artistic side.
If you add words to the music,
the brain lights up in the 'Area of Broca',
behind the left ear.
If you think about the intervals between the notes,
your brain looks at the music as math and exercises the area of the brain devoted to mathematics
There is a major difference between listening to a piece
and playing it 'by ear'
or reading it with musical notation.
The Scales Aren't Just A Fish Thing Method simply adds color to the notes.
An A is always red. Doesn't it sound red? Isn't it warm with all of the overtones?
An E is always blue. It is a cool sound with very few overtones. It almost sends a chill through you when you hear it.
The Method uses the sounds of the notes to teach difficult concepts such as the relationship between notes, intervals, sharps, flats, the violin fingerboard, and so much more.

Here it is! Colored Music to Play along With
Learn the uniqueness of each note and the amazing magic that happens when you link specific colors to the notes. This is a teaching tool.
This is not a psychological issue.
Teaching music by the use of colors, symbols, stories, rhymes,...... anyway to catch the attention of a student and link it to something they can use to retrieve it at a later time,...... is a powerful tool for teaching that will allow the student to glide into reading music and knowing the names of the notes and their sounds as their intellectual scaffolding matures.
The fingerboard will come alive with specific notes rather than a dark forest of black notes.
