Relative degrees of the scale are connected with colors of the spectrum. Children from 6 to 11 years should hear the degrees "synaesthesically" such as colored images. For instance, I=green, bII=violet, II=yellow, bIII=blue, III=orange etc. The details one could find in the article 'Employment of Multicultural and Interdisciplinary Ideas in Ear Training (Microchromatic Pitch. Coloured Pitch)' by Valeri Brainin. Special melodic cadences help to hear the degrees predictively.
