A Colorful Approach to Music Literacy
Prodigies uses color-coded notation, solfege, and clear visuals to teach students the language of music and performance — making complex concepts accessible, memorable, and fun.
1000+ award-winning video lessons
Lessons for the Young Musician
For teachers around the world, Prodigies is the easiest way to teach children from preschool to 5th grade music. Your students will learn music literacy, theory, & their first instrument(s), preparing them for performances and a life long love for music.
Demystifying music lessons
Sing, Sign, Play
Prodigies makes learning the language of music fun and easy. We give each note a personality, for instance, the note C is named C, uses the Solfege syllable Do, can be recognized by the color Red, the number 1 AND has it’s own hand-sign! With so many ways to hear & reference musical notes, students build tremendous confidence internalizing the musical alphabet and become literate in the language of music.
Nonstop musical fun
1000+ Video Music Lessons
Move, groove and throw your hands up for "Tooty Ta," echo sing "Buenos Días," listen to my heartbeat thump to the tune of "Heartbeat #1." Light up the night with "Campfire Song," bite into the fruit-themed rhythms of Sweet Beets. And this is just the beginning of your musical adventure!
Whether you’re starting off with 1-note studies, or a young savant woodshedding “The Hall of the Mountain King,” musical skills are never too far away with Prodigies.
Our Philosophy
Early exposure to pitch
Develop a strong tonal center by focusing on the individual musical notes during a child’s formative years.
Brain-based vocabulary
Memorize the sound of the musical notes by learning them through hand-signs, numbers & colors.
Error proof learning
With color-coded instruments, videos & curriculum, children have more opportunities to get it right! We want to inspire confidence & positivity right from the beginning.
Perfect for schools and districts of all sizes.

FOR MUSIC TEACHERS
Music teachers love our focus on Solfege, Orff-inspired instruments & Kodaly concepts. Experienced teachers will immediately understand the concepts, patterns & approaches we take, so you can dive into group lesson plans, worksheets, performance prep & more.
-
FOR EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATORS
Early Childhood Educators already understand the power of teaching through song. Prodigies empowers you to teach music itself. Preschool children are in their critical period for auditory development which means you can have an exponentially larger impact on a child’s long-term musical ear.

Practice & Learn With A Variety Of Instruments
-
DESKBELLS
The core curriculum focuses on bells that are colorful, easy & fun to play.
While they are ideal for beginners & children with special needs, they are also expressive enough for mature players.
Save with our bulk cases of deskbells.
-
VOICE + HAND-SIGNS
Prodigies combines singing Solfege (Do Re Mi etc) with simple hand-signs to make pitch development concrete, memorable & fun.
This way, you always have an instrument with you!
The hand-signs help to make the abstract idea of pitch more concrete and memorable.
Plus, by combining two hands with our voice, we’re activating multiple areas of the brain for more points of access to pitch. -
FREE BELLS APP
Go digital with our free Prodigies Bells App!
The app features a C Major Scale & a more Chromatic instrument.
Digital bells are also available on our site, or you can download the standalone bell apps below.

Learn to play your first wind instrument with our medieval themed series of 4th grade.
We carry Prodigies in bulk for classrooms.

UKULELE
Discover Hawaii’s favorite stringed instrument inside 5th grade, a colorful introduction to the ukulele.
When starting with a Ukulele, we recommend choosing a soprano, concert or tenor ukulele to begin.
-
MALLET PERCUSSION
Prodigies works wonderfully with xylophones, glockenspiels & other mallet percussion.
Mallets present more challenging alternative to the deskbells, which is good for kids ages 5+.
Add some colorful stickers for a more error-proof instrument.
-
PIANO
You can also follow along with a piano, and we recommend color coding your keys with Chromanotes Stick Ons.
Note: our course "Piano Prodigies" is still in it's infancy, though all of the lessons are easily followed by a piano or any C Major instrument.

PERCUSSION
Most of the rhythm lessons in Prodigies can be followed by tapping, clapping & stomping.

BOOMWHACKERS
A standard in the music education classroom, all of our materials match the colors for Boomwhackers.
These musical tubes are great for large groups, movement activities, and playing 1 or 2 notes by yourself.
