Amoret (daughter of 11) "sees" music as colours and shapes. She got quite cross with me a while back for singing the occasional bulbous purple note which didn't fit in with the rest of my notes at all. Apparantly I was singing mostly green, with the odd out-of-place purple. I've improved a bit since then, and am singing mostly lightish blue now.
We have been singing & playing together a lot lately, singing ad-hoc harmonies & shadowing eachother's phrasing. We had to swap parts yesterday because I just didn't understand the curve at the bottom of my part. She kept sweeping her arm around to show me what I should sing - but to no avail...... it didn't seem to be just a simple down the notes & up the notes representation.
She really likes tunes with circles and spirals in.
