why is it so easy even as kids to recognise colours but takes years of training to recognise 7 musical notes?

Question

We listen to music(sounds) as much as we listen to colours. Even a 3-4 year old recognises a colour while one has to learn and be good to 'recognise' a note. Is it because everyone's voice pitch is not the same? for eg.. black is the same for everyone where as my C may be your E when you sing? Is it the pitch difference that makes it complex?

Answer 1

colors are obvious and not everyone can sing!

Answer 2

WE START CHILDREN VERY EARLY IN LIFE LEARNING COLORS.

PERHAPS IF WE WOULD START TEACHING THEM THE MUSICAL NOTES AS EARLY AS THE COLORS, THEY WOULD RECOGNIZE THEM AS QUICKLY ALSO.
