This program helps with perfect pitch. My son at 1.5years, a few month after prodigies.. I was tuning my ukulele one day and he named all the notes I played. I was so surprised. Love the program ❤
This is amazing!!! Your boy is Just wonderful! loved watching this! I love how he was smiling while matching the bells you hit at 5:30!! You can see how much he loves Music! & Beautiful sounds in genera!
Hi Asher I am happy that I can talk to someone who is on the same bandwagon Thank-you for sharing your story and congrats on the achievement with your lovely children You can not imagine how much I have become fascinated with the concept of perfect pirch and synesthesia I am teaching my 11 month young nephew So playing a lot of classical music through audio playing musical notes and showing the colours with it
This is wonderful. Thank you for sharing! They should really give you affiliate links because I'm going to sign up for all of these to test out for my upcoming child.
This combo plus a product called “brillkids little music” also worked like a charm for my first born, perfect pitch! My second child is 2, and she has not developed perfect pitch. She does have an amazing memory though, hoping the perfect pitch will come soon! Either way she will have an easy time learning a music instrument and enjoying the greats of classical music.
Wow! I don't know what to say! I wish nuryl had existed when my daughter was younger. I definitely exposed her to music a lot. Played and sang for her daily and all that but she was very difficult to keep focused and refused to be taught anything. It was extremely difficult.
I think what matters is that you exposed her at a young age. My older children that were exposed in the same way as you described are still very musical.
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?
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
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.
Dear Sir- I want to get those bells for my son!! In your video there is a video that prompts your child to hit corresponding bells to match pitches. What is that video, and how can I get it ? Is that the Nuryl app? Thanks!
Hey Asher, thank you for posting this video, very informative, I'm a full time musician, and have been teaching for 30 years, and in the last several years I have had great success teaching very young children by ear. I would love to more about Nate's progress. What is the chance of you doing a video where Nate just says the name of the note when he hears it?
Hi Neville. I have a few other videos on my channel with Nate including this one where I play notes on the guitar and he names them: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-q5Py_QPoES8.html.
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 ? What is your opinion on that cause some toys use different colours and that might confuse the child
Yes, I think it really important to choose and stick. I made sure that the bell colours I bought matched the curriculum. Perfect pitch is sensory so it makes sense to keep it consistent.
What's the best supplier of those bells as depicted in the video? All that I have seen on the net are only in the natural scale of C How do you order all chromatic tones? Is there a choice of colours for each bell? Would appreciate any comments
This is great. What an invaluable, life long gift to pass on to your child. The only comment I would make is that you might be overlooking the role of genetics. Rick himself mentions that only about 35% of the Caucasian population has the genetic basis required to build the abilities we are witnessing develop here. If you are a music teacher, it’s not surprising your son would be in the lucky 35%. Anyway, the potency of Nuryl is clear to see.
@@asherskerrett5979 Again, Rick doesn't claim to have perfect pitch either. His wife doesn't have it or anybody else in their extended families. But he does have the gene which would have allowed him to learn it, if his parents had known to take advantage before the window closed at around the age of 5 or 6.
@@asherskerrett5979 Nothing to do with my opinion, I'm simply relaying the exact information that Rick posted after having the test, which revealed that he, Dylan and Dylan's sister all have the gene. It's all sourced from well established research literature on the subject, so I didn't just pull it out of my ass. I assumed someone familiar with Rick's channel would be aware of all this, but whatever. Just something you might want to be aware of, given the apparent claim made in your video title.
@@monsieurmitosis oh I’m fully aware. I stated at the end of the video it was my opinion. You should maybe check your facts before quoting me. Rational thinking does not work when it conflicts with people’s belief systems. These belief systems are why only .001% of the population have perfect pitch. Music education hasn’t evolved in 300 years unlike everything else. Until people gets their heads out of the sand, native fluency in music will stay at .001%.
Hi Asher Happy New Year to You and family I have been in contact with You before My question is Which set of handbells are you using? For a 12 month young which set would be good? Are they all on correct pitch? What is the colour system for the diatonic scale of C that You have been using? I know that You started first with the diatonic scale of C with no sharps Is the C note in red? What is the avarege or medium price of a set?
@@asherskerrett5979 Thanks for info Can you tell me the name of colour for each note in the C major scale that you have in your set please? Regards Jack
@@asherskerrett5979 Thank You mate for giving me the link to Australia to order the handbells I have written an email to them Australia is my homeland I ve been in the UK with my family since 2011 Cheers Jack
Great video and it shows that children can develop perfect pitch My question is Do You pay attention to the colour choice for each note Sometimes a note C can have a different colour on different instruments ?
I just made sure that the bell colours matched the curriculum. Otherwise it would be confusing. It was frustrating for me as it limited the instruments available in the prescribed colours.
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?
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.
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 RU-vid 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: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nDTRxrxU4W8.html Note naming is cleverly integrated into the Preschool Prodigies curriculum by also using solfege and colours along with note names.
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.
