Parakeet for Piano
Using the Parakeet colour coded
system, you could be reading and
playing your favourite music in
minutes.
Parakeet for Piano is the application of
beautifully designed piano indicators
using the Parakeet colour code which
are placed on the notes of the piano.
Carefully crafted with precision, they
look equally beautiful on any keyboard
from an electronic instrument to an
expensive Grand piano. They can be
placed on all octaves if desired.
Parakeet for Piano
The Parakeet for Piano indicators
come with a bespoke positioning
device and metronome.
As well as allowing the precise
placement of the indicators, it also has
a colour guide showing the correct
colour sequence. With a quick flip of
the D-ring, the positioning device turns
into an upright electronic metronome.
All you have to do is follow the colours
on your piano from your corresponding
Parakeet Musical notation. Simple to
complicated melodies and chords are
quickly and easily attainable.
Parakeet for Guitar
Effortlessly play chords and entire
songs while learning important
strumming techniques.
Parakeet Strum is a device that is applied
to the neck of the guitar. By pressing
the coloured buttons you instantly make
a chord, allowing you to focus on the
rhythm, an important and overlooked
step when learning the guitar.
Parakeet Strum’s design allows you
to quickly and easily play almost
any song on any guitar. This is due
to its expanded chord range and
permutations, unlike any other guitar
device on the market.
Parakeet Strum is being developed
by Vinnie Kilduff, Dave Robinson, and
Gerry Leonard - Guitarist/Arranger
David Bowie.
Parakeet for Whistle
So simple, the Parakeet Whistle will
have you playing music for your
friends in no time!
The Parakeet Whistle, is designed and
constructed by Vinnie Kilduff. Its unique
mouthpiece has been developed to

while learning. Like Piano and Guitar, the
Parakeet colour code is applied making
it easy to learn and follow the notes.
