When you see relationships between notes, you remember them. Color Piano maps each pitch to a consistent color, turning chords and scales into visual patterns your mind can grasp — and keep.

Learning music usually means memorizing — scales, chords, fingerings — hoping it eventually clicks. That can take years.
Color Piano takes a different approach. Inspired by synesthesia — where some people naturally see colors when they hear notes — we assign each pitch a consistent hue. A C major chord becomes a recognizable shape. A scale becomes a color gradient. Instead of abstract rules, you see patterns.
Your brain encodes information through separate verbal and visual channels. When both carry the same message, memory improves. Color-coded notes give you two paths to the same knowledge.
Experts don't think in isolated facts — they recognize patterns. Chess masters see configurations, not pieces. Musicians see chord shapes, not separate notes. Color-coding accelerates this shift from memorization to recognition.
Load any MIDI file and watch it play. Notes cascade toward the keys in real-time, showing you exactly what to play and when. Your eyes learn the patterns while your fingers build the muscle memory.
