The science behind the color palette:

• These colors were carefully selected based on educational research showing that certain colors support student learning and classroom behavior.
• Green: Multiple researchers identify green as the optimal classroom color because it aids concentration and replenishes mental energy.
• Blue: Neuroscience research shows blue environments enhance cognitive performance and promote mental clarity for intellectual tasks.
• Neutrals: Research shows colors with low blue light content reduce eye strain and provide visual comfort for extended viewing.
• Soft pink and lavender: These gentle colors appear in research-validated calming color schemes and support social-emotional learning environments.
• Muted orange: Used as an accent, warm tones enhance feelings of comfort and facilitate positive interactions.
• The soft, muted quality of all colors in this palette prevents overstimulation.
• These colors work as educational tools to help students focus better and feel calmer, which can help them learn more effectively.

Printing and Framing Tips for these Music Symbols Posters

I prefer printing the posters onto glossy photo paper using the best print setting because this really makes the details stand out. However, they look equally nice printed on regular paper or card stock. I love printing them onto bright white card stock. Picture how beautiful they will look in your piano studio or classroom!

Many teachers frame these gorgeous music symbol posters using simple black frames from the dollar store so they can create a beautiful photo gallery wall. They look absolutely fabulous!

Whether you frame them, laminate them, or hang them directly onto the wall, place them in a conspicuous area in your classroom so your students can see them easily and be reminded of the wide variety of music symbols they’re learning.
