Colors are easy for most young children to recognize and differentiate
between, however in music, the baseline is black and white - the colors
of standard notation. When first introducing music and music reading to
young children it can be challenging for them to recognize patterns and
organize the content visually when everything is black and white. Sound
and color fit together, and most minds draw intensely vivid connections
between the two. For this reason, color can be a helpful tool when
teaching music and developing music-reading skills to young children.
It
turns out that Newton shared the concept of likening color notation to
music notation. To the medieval mind, there were just five colors in
the rainbow: red, yellow, green, blue, and violet. But Newton added two
more – orange and indigo – because he believed that the harmony of
colors in the rainbow must be similar to the harmony of notes in a
major musical scale. Seven steps in the scale; seven colors in the
rainbow.
