US 2004/0055441 A1 · Musical performance self-training apparatus

Abstract

The apparatus of the present invention improves training efficiency, and monotonous repetition of training is avoided. A unit acceptance judgment section (4) judges whether all performance of the units in the current rank have reached an acceptable standard or not. When all performance is accepted, a unit in an upper rank is designated. The performance data in the designated unit is read from a performance data storage (7) to a key depression instruction generator (8), and a key depression instruction is displayed based on the performance data. When only a part of the unit in the current rank is acceptable, a unit updating instruction is output to a lesson menu display (14), to thereby display that the unit subsequent to the currently designated is the unit to be played next. When the unit is updated, the unit having the same note information as that already accepted is not designated.

a musical performance self-training apparatus for supporting a player by displaying a performance instruction information on a display means, comprising:

a unit designating means for designating a unit from the plural units, the units constitute a music to be performed and each unit includes a predetermined size of musical tone information, and
a performance instruction information generating means for generating the performance instruction information based on the musical tone information of the unit which is designated by the unit designating means.

A musical performance self-training apparatus constructed such that performance instruction information generated based on performance data is displayed to give a performance instruction, and when notes are played at a pitch as instructed by the performance instruction, process proceeds to the next performance instruction, wherein the musical performance self-training apparatus comprises:

a played note storage means for storing played notes;
a means for suspending the progress of performance instruction when a note is not played at a pitch as instructed by the performance instruction;
a performance data row detection means for searching a performance data row whose array coincides with a plurality of played notes including at least the newest played notes stored in the played note storage means, from the performance data;
and
a control means for resuming the progress of performance instruction from the row subsequent to the performance data row, when the coincident performance data row is searched.
