Your enthusiastic love and care for your son is great. There may be some good neurological science behind the early ear training/exposure you talk about. The "test" of your son's ability to repeat the ringing bell, is not a very good test. Like the old account of the math solving horse, "Clever Hans", from Introductory Psychology textbooks, your influence - conscious or not, is present, as well as the obvious audio clue for your son - the bells continue to resonate, and he navigates to that still ringing bell. I'll check out the program you talk about, but you may want to redo or edit your video to avoid leaving misleading, or unqualified claims in it. Thanks. 2-20-2022 12:15am US EST

Try it for yourself and see what results you get. My personal experience is that it is still really hard without a really good sense of relative pitch. Of course no 2-3 year old has this. I have tried this with other numerous people and they cannot replicate this.
@mezzoca81103 жыл бұрын
The problem with your bell test is that you let Nate ring the bell too soon and as such is still resonating from when you hit it… you need to dampen out the ring completely for a true test.

I hear what you are saying. At the end of the day it doesn’t matter. He has perfect pitch. He turned around quickly as he knew the note instantly. I don’t have to think about the colour blue when I see it. It is blue. I have had plenty of people try and do the same thing and they have no idea what note is ringing unless they use relative pitch. As they are all so close together.

Hi Asher thanks for comments Yes You are right there should be a universal system of colours associated to musical notes Otherwise it can create a confusion for the children I know that the subject of synesthesia has been taken seriously in the last couple of years The research has been done but the majority of people are still ignorant to it and don't pay attention to the detail In my opinion starting off with using colours of the light spectrum thus C green A orange and so on would be a good way A colour is a vibration of waves which we can see but not hear To be able to hear them we transpose them to an audible frequency through a mathematical formula That's why the note C is green I know that many people perceive notes with different colours That however comes later as the child progresses with age and makes their own adjustments You mentioned dr Burges who had introduced to the public the concept of acquiring and learning perfect pitch through a system I still have the original set of his cassettes with this system In it at the beginning he indeed points out something special that can be felt by most of the new students - the clear difference between F sharp and E flat The first one is vibrant and the other mellow - indeed that's how they sound So how would we choose a colour for each one Shouldn't F sharp be rather like something between purple and red which are vibrant and alive Shouldn't E flat then be medium blue which is cooler and calm? I have two apps with synesthesia training One is called Synesthesia SIM which uses Scriabin colours based on the Circle of Fiths thus the note C is red The other is called Sound Colour Exercise which uses colour association to each note according to the visible light spectrum thus the not C is green I would recommend both cause they are great apps and they react to sound by showing a colour. Also on the You Tube there is a chanel by Mr Shirak Kunwar who does a series of exercises for sound to colour association based on light spectrum Its only in the scale of C major but still useful So I have been teaching my 11 month young nephew using this system - C green My question is if I want to buy a set of bells and they are in different colours how would that work? Can one buy a set of bells with colours of your choice? or should I just repaint them? Or should I start using the other system looking at what is available on the market and in music classes? knowing that the baby is only 11 months young and a switch would not make it confused? or would it?
@asherskerrett59793 жыл бұрын
Interesting. I would suggest conducting your own experiment. When we started our journey with Nate I told people what I was doing and it was almost like they didn’t believe it would work. Even now I find either people won’t take the time (as you have to do it every day) or they still don’t believe it works and stick to teaching methods that haven’t evolved in 300 years.

Hi Asher and other viewers I would like to point out one thing - When I said that the light spectrum colours should be used in children musical developement thus C green G red A orange and so on I said it purely on the basis that it is a good starting point for colour association to a musical note Children will make some changes and adjustments later on according to their preception that's obvious but we need a good starting point So why not the light spectrum? I still don't understand why this colour code has been so widely adapted as C being red? Why? because Scriabin said so? I would like to see your opinion
@jackkurasik83713 жыл бұрын
Hi Asher Thanks for replying I thought that was important to keep colours the same But how does it stack up to the manufacturers of kids toys when they are so varied when it comes to assigning a colour to a musical note? Why it's been widely accepted for C to be red if really according to light spectrum it should be green? Green is calm and so is the key of C Red is rather A vibrant and alive Why it hasn't been accepted for the musical colours for the babies to be chosen according to the light spectrum thus C green D azurre blue D flat darker blue and so on?
@asherskerrett59793 жыл бұрын
It’s unfortunate that there is no standard colour chart for notes but maybe that is due to individuals perception being different. I remember listening to David Lucas Burge years ago where he described F# as red as it has a vibrant twang similar to a stop sign.
@annakurasik42463 жыл бұрын
What I mean by different instruments is the toys used for kids like a toy piano or cymbals Should we stick with particular colours and never change it So if we choose the note C as green we should use always green or if we choose red then we should stick with red ?

Hi Asher! Great video and I’m certainly intrigued, as I have a son about to be born in a couple weeks. I have a few questions, though. 1.). At what age did you introduce the bell set and how long each day did you practice with them? 2.) did you practice naming notes from other instruments before the bell set? Overall I’m a little uncertain when to start doing more than just daily neuryl listening sessions. I’d certainly like to start my son with learning specific notes as early as he’s capable, whether with bells or a piano and/or both. There’s a very good chance I’ll buy the programs you mentioned in your video. Thank you!

Hi Jay. Nate got his bell set when he was about 2 1/2. He had 2 or 3 months of watching the free prodigies KZbin clips beforehand. I let him dictate how long each day to practice. The main thing was it was that we did it everyday or as close to everyday that we could which created a lifestyle and routine. I also played this to him everyday: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHW3g6uorbpnjZo Note naming is cleverly integrated into the Preschool Prodigies curriculum by also using solfege and colours along with note names.
