hearing colors

November 20 2005

So I told Mrs. Mullen about me being about to "hear colors" and she said that I have some rare thing. It's not like, a disability or something like that, but she couldn't remember the name of it. We both listened to the NPR thing about some pianist in Nashville who has it also. She said it's like, whenever she plays something it's like a stained-glass window in her head, which is kinda how it is to me. Mrs. M also told me that when she was younger, instead of hearing colors, she heard numbers. Like, D's were 2's and F's were 4's or something like that. I'm glad to know I'm not the only freak. She said it's really really good that I can do that though because it will eventually (after more training on musicality) help me with interpretation. Heather was playing her flute solo while we were talking (and she did an amazing job) about it and her piece was babyblue-ish and Mrs. Mullen was like "Wow, I wish I could do that."
