The Learning Prism
Students learn music differently
Some students experience music in ways we can’t see.
🌈 They might see color when they hear a note. Or feel overwhelmed by reading notation, but excel when they touch or move.We’re building tools to help music teachers recognize and support these students.✨✨✨
What you're already seeing in your classroom
In every music classroom, there are students who don’t respond to traditional methods—but they’re not disengaged. They’re experiencing music differently.You’ve probably seen it:
✨ A student who struggles with rhythm but has perfect pitch
🌀 One who avoids reading notation but plays confidently by ear
✨ A child who describes sounds as colors or feelingsThese aren’t problems, they’re patterns. Most teachers simply don’t have the tools or language to support them yet.
What we're building to help you
Here’s what we’re building to support music educators:✨ Awareness
Understand how some students sense and process music in uniquely sensory ways
✨Recognition Tools
Learn simple signs to identify these learning differences early
✨Classroom Strategies
Use tactile, visual, and creative techniques to engage students without rewriting your curriculumNo theory. No diagnosis. Just practical tools to help you reach more students.
Why this matters for your teaching
💡 More confident teaching decisions when a student’s needs aren’t clear
🎶 Better engagement from students who are creative but misunderstood
🌈 A more inclusive classroom—without adding more to your plate
Why I'm building this
Hi, I’m Coco — a musician, an educator, neurodivergent, a synesthete and synesthesia researcher. I’ve spent years working at the intersection of creativity, sensory experience, and music learning. During the pandemic, I created a creativity tool used by educators in four languages.This project comes from what I’ve seen—and what I wish more teachers had access to.
