It is based upon the concept that color can affect the observer in various ways, and combines this with standard learning of basic notation. Basis Viewing color has been widely shown to change an individual's emotional state and stimulate neurons. The Luscher Color Test observes from experiments that when individuals are required to contemplate pure red for varying lengths of time, [the experiments] have shown that this color decidedly has a stimulating effect on the nervous system; blood pressure increases, and respiration rate and heart rate both increase. Pure blue, on the other hand, has the reverse effect; observers experience a decline in blood pressure, heart rate, and breathing. Given these findings, it has been suggested that the influence of colored musical notation would be similar. Music education In music education, color is typically used in method books to highlight new material. Stimuli received through several senses excite more neurons in several localized areas of the cortex, thereby reinforcing the learning process and improving retention. This information has been proven by other researchers; Chute (1978) reported that "elementary students who viewed a colored version of an instructional film scored significantly higher on both immediate and delayed tests than did students who viewed a monochrome version". Color studies Effect on achievement A researcher in this field, Dr. George L. Rogers, DME, is the Director of Music Education at Westfield State College. He is also the author of 25 articles in publications that include the Music Educators Journal, (description exceeds maximum possible length)
