Colourstrings was the first to offer music education from a very young age in the UK. In Finland (where it all started) it has been a core part of the state music education for more than thirty years and is now an internationally respected way of teaching music to children.  It is an extension of the Kodály philosophy.  Many local education authorities in Britain are now introducing Colourstrings into their schools.
