The earlier an individual or child uses MUSICAL COLORS to enhance their musical skills, the better. Children really go nuts with this and learn very quickly (in a matter of minutes), while having fun at the same time. It not only has a tremendous impact with children but has also proven itself to be a great tool for music students and professionals alike. The system can stand up to a very demanding need and is sophisticated and refined enough for adults and professionals. For you teachers out there, we are also creating several educational packages and curriculums that will help you and your kids rediscover the language of MUSIC through the language of COLOR in order to elevate the artistic abilities of your students.
So when is a good time to use this system?
There are several scenarios when MUSICAL COLORS would be beneficial for whom ever decided to use it. The following are predominantly the most problematic circumstances and good indicators of the need for some of our professional assistance. Could any one of these typical quotes sound like something you or someone you know might say?
• “I don’t want to be limited to one or two positions for any given chord.”
• “I’m not always sure what key I’m in when I’m jamming’ out!”
• “It’s hard to remember notes, scales and chords.”
• “I cannot afford expensive music classes.”
• “Music is too difficult and too boring.”
• “I’d like to play my own music.”
• “I can’t play an instrument.”
• “I need quicker results.”
Just about any instrument that is designed to play with a “Definite Pitch” can be converted to include MUSICAL COLORS stickers which are easily installed and remain firm, becoming inherently part of the instrument itself, yet still are removable. They are protected by a durable aqueous coating (for the most demanding of players) and are custom designed for different instruments. MUSICAL COLORS stickers were designed by professional musicians with their needs in mind. The specific reatail costs of our products will soon be available.
Due to the nature of our products primarily consisting of some type of paper product (i.e. MUSICAL COLORS Custom Professional Stickers, Music Theory Reference Manuals and Booklets), we will be able to keep our direct costs down, which means lower retail costs for our customers. We will do everything in our power to keep the price of our MUSICAL COLORS stickers and booklets bundled at under ten dollars. Our extensive theory manual will be more expensive, due to its estimated size of over one hundred pages. In order to deal with this potential problem, we will be offering an option by implementing computer technology with an online version of our reference manual at a minimal cost. We will also offer other online resources and our evolutionary computer software, MC Composer Music Theory Manual Interface. Once again, the actual retail costs of these products will soon be available.
The Musical Instruments we cover...
The following list of instruments can be converted using MUSICAL COLORS stickers. All instruments are categorized within the five possible types of musical instruments; Chordophones, Idiophones, Aerophones, Membranophones and the most recently invented Electronophones. Just take a look and find out if we cover your instrument.
(The following instrument list contains those instruments that we have developed stickers for. There are several other instruments undergoing theoretical development and design in order that we may code them with color. Should you not be able to locate any instrument in the following list, please contact us and let us know the instrument you have in question. Chances are, we’re working on it and we will be able to bring this musical tool to you soon.)

MUSICAL COLORS Curriculums
There will be several fantastic curriculums available for our MUSICAL COLORS customers, depending on the age or proficiency level of the students in question (i.e. Elementary, Beginner and Intermediate).
For Kindergarten and Elementary school children, the curriculum revolves around the story of a White Wizard who sits in his White Crystal Castle, waiting for brave children to visit him. Five children set out to find the Crystal Castle in order to get the Wizard’s White Crystal and learn how to fly. When they find the Wizard inside his Castle, they conspire together to steel his magical Crystal. But the Wizard eventually tricks them in the end and traps them all inside a giant Purple Bubble.
He consequently grants their deepest wishes to fly, however in doing so, he turns them all into creatures according to the five children’s characteristics (i.e. Red Dragon, Orange Eagle, Yellow Fairy, Green Gargoyle and Blue Angel). He tells the children that they will remain forever in his Castle, flying inside his Bubble and making music for his enjoyment. But the five flying creature children come up with several musical plans to pop the Bubble, reach the Crystal, break the spell and escape in order to return home. Kids simply love it!
