Abstract
A Color-guiding Music Teaching System including practice pad, pitch plates, percussion targets & lesson book assembly and method is disclosed. The teaching method enables young students to learn music much faster than before by creating an association between musical notes, audible pitch, visual appearance and tactile feel. Several devices are provided, ranging from simple striking targets to more complex musical instruments that have visually, possibly audibly, and even possibly tactilely distinct striking targets incorporated or attached thereto to accompany execution of the teaching method.
Claims22
A drum practice device, comprising:
- a base;
- a resilient substrate member attached to said base, wherein said resilient substrate member is attached to said base over an upper edge of said base;
- and
- two or more targets dispersed on said substrate member, wherein said targets comprise decals attached to an upper surface of said substrate member,
- wherein said targets comprise a first target of a first visually distinct appearance and a second target of a second visually distinct appearance, and
- wherein said first and second targets are images approximating human handprints.
A striking target group, comprising:
- a first target defining a first visually distinct appearance;
- a second target defining a second visually distinct appearance;
- and
- wherein said targets are further defined by a shape approximating a human hand.
A drum practice device, comprising:
- a base;
- a resilient substrate member attached to said base, wherein said resilient substrate member is attached to said base over an upper edge of said base;
- and
- two or more targets dispersed on said substrate member, said targets being inscribed on an upper surface of said substrate member.
A drum practice device, comprising:
- a base;
- a resilient substrate member attached to said base;
- and
- two or more targets dispersed on said substrate member,
- wherein said targets comprise a first target of a first visually distinct appearance, a second target of a second visually distinct appearance, a third target of a third visually distinct appearance and a fourth target of a fourth visually distinct appearance;
- and
- wherein said first and second targets are images approximating human handprints.
