A method and system of teaching and/or studying music theory and for aiding
the practice of musical instruments according to the integration of the
color spectrum with notes of the circle of fifths and rearrangement of
those notes into the musical chromatic scale. This rearrangement is
accomplished by rotating either set of notes (spaced at whole-tone
intervals) in the circle of fifths by 180 degrees. The musical chromatic
scale arrangement of colors is then applied to various instruments.
Diagrams representing the various note/color patterns as they appear on
the various color-coded instruments are also provided. Scale and/or chord
charts or diagrams for various instruments are also provided. The
inventive color code is also applied to tablature, as well as to inventive
forms of music notation.
