Voice                        Piano                         Orchestral, Band, and Jazz Instruments

Colourstrings ™ is a world-renowned method of musical instruction that begins at the very earliest stages of a child's training and develops the necessary skills for study at University level. The Hungarian Szilvay brothers have based their method on the Kodaly method, which integrates instrumental studies with singing. In using scientifically related colors to identify specific strings, children develop the ability to read music readily in a natural progression of learning.
