Colourstrings - Violin, Viola and Cello; Colourkeys Piano and Colour Flute
The Colourstrings method was invented by Géza and his brother Csaba Szilvay in Finland in 1971. In the Violin ABC, the four strings are identified by different colours and characters. Initially reading music means matching colours and following the melodic line of pictures. The colourful pictures and notes gradually give way to conventional notation. At the beginning of Colourstrings uses relative solmisation (a movable Do) and the child is later introduced step by step to the absolute letter names and pitch.
The Colourstrings violin tutors tend to present the child with the music as a whole ‘package’ in which instrumental technique, musical listening, understanding and emotions are at all times balanced.
Colourstrings is a child-oriented mode of teaching music. The Colourstrings method has been used by 40,000 string players around the world. Géza Szilvay can spot some salient features of children trained by this method:
- Fine intonation
- A developed musical intellect
- Good ability to read music
- An artistic aptitude for musical timbre, nuance, detail and phrasing
- Rich creativity developed through transposing, transforming,
improvising and composing
- Solo playing developed alongside chamber musicianship.
Colourstrings is gaining popularity, it has been fostered by such international organisation as ESTA (European String Teachers’ Association), ASTA (American String Teachers’ Association), AUSTA (Australian String Teachers’ Association), ISME (International Society for Music Education), NMPU (Nordic Music Pedagogical Union) and IKS (International Kodály Society).

彩色弦樂 - 小提琴
彩色弦樂’ 教學法是由小提琴家Géza Szilvay和大提琴家Casba Szilvay兩兄弟於1971在芬蘭創辦。在教學材料 ‘Violin ABC’ 中，把四跟弦線色彩化及角色化。在初學階段，兒童閱讀樂譜只需配合顏色及圖畫化的旋律線，大大簡化了學習五線譜的繁複程序，讓學生容易理解。‘彩色弦樂’ 的初學階段運用相對性唱名 (可移動的唱音Do) ，其後兒童會被介紹認識絕對音名和音高。
‘彩色弦樂’小提琴導師重視傳送一個完全屬於音樂的完整 ‘組合’ ，演奏小提琴的操作技巧和對音樂性的聆聽、領解和情感都在所有時候被導師平衡兼顧。
‘彩色弦樂’是一派特別為兒童而設的音樂教育模式。現在為止，全球已有四萬弦樂樂手運用這套教學方法。創辦人 Géza Szilvay能提出被‘彩色弦樂’ 教學法訓練出來的兒童具有的一些明顯優點：
- 音準優良
- 音樂智力發達
- 閱讀樂譜能力良好
- 具有對音色、音質、細微之處和樂句的藝術傾向
- 創作力豐富，乃通過移調、改造、即興和作曲的培訓
- 獨奏、室樂演奏並齊
‘彩色弦樂’ 逐受歡迎和被重視，尤其被國際組織如:
歐洲弦樂導師協會(ESTA) 、美國弦樂導師協會(ASTA) 、
澳洲弦樂導師協(AUSTA) 、北歐音樂教育聯盟(NMPU)和國際音樂教育協社(ISME) 一直培養。
