Suzuki method: Baby (2 & 4 months old) familiarizing with a "colored-keys" piano

Selling Electronic Keybords in eBay to be used in MUSIC IN COLORS and SUZUKI methods.
How This works:
--------------
- For babies:
There is no age to start learning!
Even infants and toddlers can familiarize with the music and its instruments. Indeed, studies show that the Color/Note association helps to develop cognitive skills even in the first months of live.
- Ages 4+: Starting to understand the printed score.
Play with the written word in an adequate manner bridges sensory-motor experience and the appearing of representative and/or symbolic thought.
The kid will associate the colors in the staff with the keys in the keyboard intuitively with minimum assistance from parents or teachers.
- Ages 7+:
The fact that the notes were always properly positioned in the staff (following the standard notation) allows the kid to initiate the second phase in the method with minimum adult assistance. This phase in nothing but a replacing of the "Color association" with the standard score as we know it (ie. a symbol association based on position of the note in the staff).
Parents and teachers will only need to "blacken" the notes from the staff in order to initiate this second phase.
