 Everything we can see has a color. Without light there can be no color.
Face it, kids love coloring. In a fast moving world we are faced with all sorts of temptations. These temptations are 'colored' to look ever so good. Color is great, but without light there can be no color. Color is from a reflection of light, what better way to teach children then to be a reflection from pure light from which color comes from. And that light is Jesus Christ.
Lets look at the beginning
And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
First – the great truth about God. Creation, is it all the same, do all trees look the same, flowers, animals, mountains, rocks, fish, get the picture? If you look around the world, one of the things you quickly discover about God is his amazing creativity. And we are created in His image. Plain and simple it is important that we teach children that our racial differences aren’t evidence that some groups of people are better than other groups of people. Our racial differences are reminders that each of us . . . no matter the color of our skin . . . are made in the image of a color loving God. All color starts with pure light. We use light and color, along with music to teach children that we all walk in a world filled with light but also filled with darkness.
You can become a light to others walking in darkness...
1. As you reflect the light of Christ in your own life 2. As you abide in His teachings, and follow His doctrine  (John 8:12) 12Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. Jesus is the light of life. This is our Biblical scripture for our Circle of Life Youth Program. All through out our programs we work with light, and color. They both are important in Music. For one to understand the creation one must go back to the basic's.
And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. We also find in the Bible God using Color coming from light [reflection] to show us what a covanent is or promise. So we can use light and Color combined with music to explain what the meanings are in the bible relating to different colors. Like a Rainbow a covanent or promise.
A rainbow is like a symphony in music many colors coming together Scientific definition: are optical and meteorological phenomena that cause a spectrum of light to appear in the sky when the Sun shines onto droplets of moisture in the Earth's atmosphere. They take the form of a multicoloured arc, with red on the outer part of the arch and violet on the inner section of the arch. More rarely, a secondary rainbow is seen, which is a second, fainter arc, outside the primary arc, with colours in the opposite order, that is, with violet on the outside and red on the inside. Simple Definition:A rainbow can be defined as a band of colors (from red on the inside to violet on the outside) assembled as an arc that is formed by reflection and refraction (or bending) of the sun's rays inside raindrops. They appear when it is raining in one part of the sky and sunny in another. In the Bible and in the Jewish scripture, the rainbow is explicitly stated as a sign of the Noahic Covenant between God and The Creation, and the biblical God's promise to Noah that never again would The World be purified by Water .(Genesis 9.13-15):
One of the basic elements of music is called color, or timbre (pronounced "TAM-ber"). Timbre describes all of the aspects of a musical sound that do not have anything to do with the sound's pitch, loudness or length. In other words, if a flute plays a note, and then an oboe plays the same note, for the same length of time, at the same loudness, you can still easily tell the two notes apart, because a flute sounds different from an oboe. This difference is in the timbre of the sounds.
Timbre is caused by the fact that each note from a musical instrument is a complex wave containing more than one frequency. For instruments that produce notes with a clear and specific pitch, the frequencies involved are part of a harmonic series. For other instruments (such as drums), the sound wave may have an even greater variety of frequencies. We hear each mixture of frequencies not as separate sounds, but as the color of the sound. Small differences in the balance of the frequencies - how many you can hear, their relationship to the fundamental pitch, and how loud they are compared to each other - create the many different musical colors.
The harmonics at the beginning of each note - the attack - are especially important for timbre, so it is actually easier to identify instruments that are playing short notes with strong articulations than it is to identify instruments playing long, smooth notes.
The human ear and brain are capable of hearing and appreciating very small variations in timbre. A listener can hear not only the difference between an oboe and a flute, but also the difference between two different oboes. The general sound that one would expect of a type of instrument - a trombone for example - is usually called its timbre or color. Variations in timbre between specific instruments - two different trombones, for example, or two different trombone players, or the same trombone player using different types of sound in different pieces - may be called differences in timbre or color, or may be called differences in tone or in tone quality. Tone quality may refer specifically to "quality", as when a young trombonist is encouraged to have a "fuller" or "more focussed" tone quality, or it can refer neutrally to differences in sound, as when an orchestral trombonist is asked to play with a "brassy" tone quality in one passage and a "mellow" tone quality in another.
As children learn in our MUSIC PROGRAM they play together in a time called ENSEMBLE TIME. This is where children divide into two or more groups. They learn to play together in Unity and solo but they all work together in the exercise or song. Each one has a part.
Music and Color go hand in hand so we relate both together. To help children learn about Timbre [color] we also teach them what color's represent in the Bible.
Did you Know? Certain colors are known to have definite behavior-altering capabilities. Some colors or combinations of them irritate eyes and cause headaches. For example, bright yellows—either on walls or as the background on a computer screen—are the most bothersome colors and are not calming or relaxing in any way. Other colors can alter how or what we eat. Blue is known to curb appetites. Why is this so? Blue food doesn't exist in nature, with the exception of the blueberry. There are no blue vegetables, and hopefully, if you encountered a blue meat, you certainly wouldn't eat it. Because of this natural color deficiency, there is no automatic appetite response to anything blue. There are colors that can put us in a better mood, too. Green is the most restful color for the eye. It has the power to soothe and comfort. Studies have even shown that people who work in surroundings that are green experience fewer headaches, stomach aches, and other signs of sickness or fatigue. In our programs we teach children about color and the importance. Bible Colors and Their Meanings
