Description

[0001]
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a performance self-learning apparatus, and more particularly, to a performance self-learning apparatus capable of designating a practice location in a musical piece according to performance proficiency and enabling efficient practice.
[0002]
[Prior art]
2. Description of the Related Art There is known an apparatus which reproduces performance data stored in a storage medium by a personal computer (hereinafter, referred to as a "personal computer"), sequentially displays music scores on a screen, and gives a performance instruction. For example, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-305171, a figure of a keyboard is displayed on a screen, and a range from a pressed key to a released key corresponding to each key of the displayed keyboard is displayed by a scroll bar. There is disclosed a performance instructing device for scrolling the scroll bar so as to approach a keyboard figure in accordance with the reproduction of the automatic performance data.
[0003]
According to this performance instructing device, the key press time can be intuitively recognized by the scroll bar display, and the performance data following the performance data currently being pressed can be predicted, so that a smooth performance can be expected. .
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the conventional performance instructing device, since the performance data is only reproduced in order from the beginning, efficient practice cannot be performed. For example, when practicing the song for the first time, it is extremely difficult to play from the beginning to the end of the song. Further, even if the program is interrupted halfway and returns to the beginning, or returns to a desired practice location, searching for a playback location is troublesome and takes time.
[0005]
Furthermore, in a song that contains the same phrase multiple times, even if you have mastered this phrase, if you practice through it, you will be played many times, so it may be tedious to practice There is. Repetitive practice of a phrase that has been mastered to some extent is inefficient and is not preferable from the viewpoint of quickly learning the entire song.
[0006]
Therefore, there is a need for a system that can effectively improve the mastery of the entire song by avoiding duplication of practice of the mastered phrase.
[0007]
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a performance self-learning apparatus that can respond to the above-mentioned demands and allows the user to repeatedly practice a part with low proficiency, thereby efficiently learning the whole music.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention for solving the above problems and achieving the object is a self-study apparatus that displays musical score information and instructs a player to play a musical instrument. The first feature is that a lesson menu that displays units set in a corresponding manner to music scores and that are displayed according to proficiency levels, and a unit designating unit that designates the next unit on the lesson menu for displaying musical score information next. There is a feature.
[0009]
Further, according to the present invention, the unit designating means may select, from among the units on the lesson menu, the unit whose performance does not reach the expected passing criterion and which should be performed at the earliest time, and then, When all the performances of the units having the same proficiency level have reached the passing criterion, the unit for displaying the next score information is selected from the higher proficiency level and specified. The second feature lies in the configuration described above.
[0010]
Further, according to the present invention, the unit designating means may select, from among the units on the lesson menu, the unit whose performance does not meet a predetermined passing criterion and which should be performed at the earliest time, In addition to specifying the information to be displayed, if all the performances of the lower units included in the unit with the higher proficiency have reached the passing criteria, the higher unit will be displayed next to the score information. There is a third feature in that it is configured to be specified as a unit to perform.
[0011]
According to the first to third features, the lesson menu is displayed, and the player can confirm the music to be played. Then, the unit including the tone information of the expected number of displayed songs is designated from the earliest one, and the score information for the performance instruction is displayed. In addition, the unit that has reached the passing criterion is not specified, but the next one that is earlier in time is specified.
[0012]
In particular, according to the second feature, unless all units having the same proficiency level pass the acceptance criteria, the practice does not proceed to a higher level, so that the music can be surely acquired. On the other hand, in the third feature, when a certain number of units can be played together, it is possible to advance to a unit of higher proficiency including those units.
[0013]
Further, the present invention has a fourth feature in that the lesson menu is provided with display means for displaying the practiced unit and the next unit to be practiced separately in order to display the lesson menu. A fifth feature lies in that a display means for displaying the unit which is not included in the display is provided. According to the fourth and fifth characteristics, the player can check the progress of the practice for each unit by looking at the lesson menu.
[0014]
A sixth feature of the present invention is that the present invention includes a grade processing means for ranking performance results of a designated unit, and displays a ranking of performance results on practiced units when the lesson menu is displayed. is there. The player can recognize the performance for each unit.
[0015]
Further, the present invention has a seventh feature in that units having the same contents are commonly managed as the same unit. When a unit having the same content is included a plurality of times throughout a song, those units are managed collectively, so that a unit that has passed once is not designated redundantly.
[0016]
Further, the present invention has an eighth feature in that the present invention includes means for changing the size of the unit displayed on the lesson menu.
[0017]
According to the eighth feature, the size of the unit can be changed, for example, by moving the boundary of the unit when the trainee determines that efficient practice cannot be performed depending on the current unit division. Although the size of the unit increases according to the proficiency level, it is possible to widen only the range in which the unit can be practiced at a stretch by changing the unit size without changing the proficiency grade when specifying the unit.
[0018]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the performance self-learning device according to one embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, a personal computer 1 includes a personal computer main body 11, a keyboard 12 and a mouse 13 as input devices, and a display 14 as an output device. The personal computer main body 11 may have a well-known configuration having a hard disk, ROM / RAM, and the like. It is preferable to provide an interface that can input and output MIDI signals.
[0019]
The keyboard instrument 2 includes a keyboard 21 and a sound system 22. The keyboard 21 includes a detection circuit 23 for detecting key depression and key release, and a sound source device 24 for generating a musical tone in accordance with key depression and key release detection information. When the detection circuit 23 detects a key press / key release of the keyboard 21, a tone is generated by the sound source device 24 and output (sounds) through the sound system 22. The keyboard instrument 2 may also be provided with a MIDI interface. The overall operation of the keyboard instrument 2 is controlled by a microcomputer (not shown).
[0020]
The personal computer body 11 and the keyboard instrument 2 are connected via an interface (not shown) (for example, a MIDI interface) so that signals can be transmitted and received between each other.
[0021]
In the performance self-learning apparatus, the practice music can be supplied from the outside, or can be stored in a hard disk or the like in advance. The practice music is prepared as performance data such as pitch data (key number), key press / release data (key-on time, key-off time), velocity, tempo data, and the like. Although the performance data may include data other than the above data, it is not a main part of the present invention, and a description thereof will be omitted.
[0022]
The selected practice song is not limited to being played from the beginning of the song, and may be played from the middle of the song. The part to be practiced can be specified automatically or manually by the player himself. The practice location can be designated for each predetermined range (called a unit). A unit is composed of one or more measures, and the higher the level of mastery, that is, the higher the grade, the greater the number of measures that constitute one unit.
[0023]
Here, the unit will be described as being composed of a plurality of measures, but the unit may be composed arbitrarily, and may be composed of musical sound information in an arbitrary range without being limited to a measure. In short, the unit only needs to be configured to include a wide range of musical sound information so that the higher the grade, the longer the performance can be practiced at once. For example, by using one or a plurality of motifs or phrases as one unit, musically natural practice is possible.
[0024]
When the unit is designated automatically, the unit to be practiced is designated automatically according to the scheduled progress. For example, the proficiency level is automatically determined by the personal computer 1 based on the performance result, and the units whose proficiency level has passed the pass criteria are designated in consideration of avoiding repeated practice. On the other hand, when manually specifying the unit, the player himself can arbitrarily specify the unit he wants to practice. In addition, it is possible to cancel the unit designation mode by the player and return to a mode in which the unit can be designated automatically. The mode selection screen can be included in the performance data so as to be displayed on the display 14 at a predetermined time.
[0025]
FIG. 3 is an example of a lesson menu, showing units for each grade corresponding to a musical score. In the figure, the unit is set for each grade with respect to the score of 12 measures displayed on the display 14. If the song is long, this screen can be scrolled and displayed to the end of the song. Also, instead of scrolling the screen, the music part or the whole may be displayed arbitrarily by enlarging or reducing the display width. For example, the screen can be enlarged or reduced by operating the “+” and “−” buttons at the lower left of the screen.
[0026]
Grades (1), (2), (3), (4), and (5) are set in order from the one with the highest performance proficiency, and units of different sizes are set according to each grade. That is, in the lowest grade (5), two units constitute one unit, and in the next highest grade (4), four measures constitute one unit. Thus, as the grade increases, the number of measures constituting one unit increases.
[0027]
The lesson menu is not only a grade table that allows you to see at a glance the results based on the performance results, but also a display of units to be practiced next. That is, when the performance of the designated unit ends, the performance result is compared with the performance data to determine the score. Then, the grade is displayed on the lesson menu with characters indicating the rank, and the units that do not meet the passing criteria are designated again.
[0028]
In the example of FIG. 3, the practice of the unit U1 composed of the first measure and the second measure of the grade (5) is completed, and the unit U2 composed of the third measure and the fourth measure is displayed as the unit to be practiced next. . The result is displayed for the unit that has finished playing. The results are displayed in the order of rank in the letters S, A, B, C, D. For the units U1 and U3 that have passed the pass criteria, a rank “S” and a band indicating pass are displayed. However, this ranking is an example, and the classification of the rank can be set arbitrarily, and the passing criterion can be increased as the grade increases. If the passing criteria are not reached, the unit designation is not updated and the same unit is designated again.
[0029]
In the mode in which the units are automatically specified, the units that have not reached the passing score and that are to be played early in the same grade are specified.
[0030]
Since units having the same musical tone information are collectively managed, for example, when the unit U1 reaches a passing score in the figure, from the ninth and tenth measures having the same musical tone information as the unit U1. The unit U3 is also practiced, that is, the result is changed to the display of the grade. Therefore, repeated practice of a trained unit is avoided.
[0031]
The performance data of the designated unit is reproduced, and a key pressing instruction as described later is displayed on the display 14 based on the performance data. According to the display of the key pressing instruction, the player can repeatedly practice until the proficiency of the performance is increased for each unit, that is, until a predetermined pass judgment is made.
[0032]
If all the units are judged to be acceptable for the currently practiced grade, a unit having a larger size in the grade above is designated, and the performance data is reproduced. For example, if the grade (5) passes, the program proceeds to the grade (4) and the unit U4 is designated to reproduce the performance data. In Grade (4), you will practice twice as many measures as Grade (5). The higher the grade, the higher the difficulty level, ie, the tempo, and the pass criteria, so that more advanced practice can be performed according to the proficiency level.
[0033]
On the other hand, when practicing in the manual mode, the performance data can be reproduced by specifying an arbitrary unit, so that the user can repeatedly practice until the user is satisfied. However, even in the manual mode, if it is possible to specify a unit arbitrarily arbitrarily, the result of the practice is unlikely to be improved. Therefore, for example, it is preferable that the grade cannot be increased until the grade reaches the passing score. That is, until all the units in the grade reach the passing score, only the unit in the current grade can be designated, and the unit of the higher grade cannot be designated.
[0034]
Each unit can have the following data structure. As the data of each unit, unit performance information, link information, and performance information can be included.
[0035]
The unit performance information is practice performance for each unit, and can include a high score, an average score, a registration date and time of the performance, and the like. Units of the same musical sound information are managed by common unit performance information. It has a unique ID and enables unit identification.
[0036]
The link information is link information for each unit, and includes a head position and an end position of the unit from the head of the music (both are time information), and a link ID for linking a plurality of units having the same musical tone information. The performance information has array information of link information for each grade and for each unit of the entire music.
[0037]
Next, the processing of the performance self-learning apparatus will be described with reference to a flowchart. FIG. 4 is a main flowchart. In step S1, the personal computer 1 is initialized, including clearing a VRAM and a timer for displaying an image on the display 14. In step S2, a practice song is selected. For example, a list of practice songs is displayed on the display 14, and the player selects a song using the keyboard 12 or the mouse 13. If a song has been selected, the process proceeds to step S3 to specify a unit. The designation of a unit designates which part of the performance data of the selected music piece is to be practiced. A lesson menu based on the performance data is displayed on the display 14, and the unit to be practiced is specified on the menu. An example of a lesson menu in which units are set is shown in FIG. The designation of the unit will be further described later with reference to FIG.
[0038]
In step S4, the lesson starts. The lesson may be started automatically or by inputting a start instruction from the keyboard 12. In step S5, a key press instruction generated according to the performance data is displayed on the display 14. A display example of the key press instruction will be described later with reference to FIG.
[0039]
In step S6, the musical sounds included in the performance data, that is, the accompaniment sounds and the metronome sounds are reproduced. The reproduced sound can be generated using the sound source device 24 or the sound system 22 of the keyboard instrument 2. In step S7, the performance result of the player is read into the personal computer 1. This is for grade determination. Steps S5 to S7 are performed by timer interrupt processing. If the pitch indicated by the reproduced performance data does not match the pitch of the performance result, the reproduction of the performance data is not advanced.
[0040]
In step S8, it is determined whether the lesson has been completed. If all the performance data of the designated unit have been played, the result of step S8 is affirmative, and the process proceeds to step S9. If the lesson has not been completed, the process proceeds to step S5.
[0041]
In step S9, a result process is performed. In the performance processing, the performance result read in step S7, that is, the actual key press result by the player is compared with the performance data, and the performance is determined based on the degree of coincidence. The content of the comparison includes the sound length, velocity, key pressing timing, and the like. The number of times of mistouch, that is, the number of times a key different from the instruction is pressed can be compared with the pass reference number. In the performance processing, the rank is determined based on these comparison results.
[0042]
In step S10, as a result of the above-described performance processing, it is determined whether or not the unit has passed the acceptance criteria. If the passing criterion has been reached, the process proceeds to step S3 to set the next unit to be played. If not, the process proceeds to step S11, and it is determined whether or not to continue the practice. This determination can be made based on the presence or absence of the player's instruction from the keyboard 12. If the practice is to be continued, the process proceeds to step S4.
[0043]
FIG. 5 is a flowchart of the unit designation (step S3). In step S31, it is determined whether the designation is automatic designation or manual designation. The instruction of automatic designation or manual designation can be included in the performance data. In the case of automatic designation, the process proceeds to step S32. In the case of manual designation, the process proceeds to step S33, and a lesson menu screen is displayed. In step S33, a message prompting an instruction such as "Please specify a unit" may be displayed at the bottom of the screen together with the display of the lesson menu screen of FIG. When a unit is instructed using the mouse 13 or the like in accordance with the instruction, in step S5, the performance data is read in accordance with the link information of the unit, and a key press instruction is displayed.
[0044]
In the case of automatic designation, the process proceeds from step S31 to step S32, and it is determined whether or not all units of the highest grade have passed. If the highest grade has not passed, the process proceeds to step S34, and it is determined whether or not the performance of all units of the currently practiced grade has passed based on the unit performance information. If this determination is negative, the process proceeds to step S36, where the next unit to be practiced is specified. For example, the display is changed to, for example, enclosing the unit U2 with a frame as shown in FIG. 3, and then the process proceeds to step S4 (FIG. 4). When step S34 is affirmative, the process proceeds to step S35, where the grade is increased by one level, and then the process proceeds to step S36. For example, when a grade is upgraded from grade (5) to grade (4), a unit consisting of the first four measures of the grade (4) is designated in step S36 immediately after that. In this way, if the highest grade (1) has passed, step S32 is affirmative and the process ends.
[0045]
FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of the key pressing instruction displayed on the display 14 in step S5 of FIG. In the figure, keyboard figures are displayed at the top and bottom of the screen. Although the keyboard graphic K is displayed at the top and bottom of the screen to make it easy to see which key on the keyboard corresponds to the key press instruction, this may be displayed only at the bottom of the screen. A plurality of substantially rectangular marks, which are shown between the keyboard figures K and K and have a length corresponding to the length of the musical tone and the width of the white key of the keyboard figure K, are key-pressing instructions. One mark corresponds to one tone. The upper and lower screens are time axes, and the key press instruction closer to the lower keyboard figure K indicates a musical tone to be played earlier. The key pressing instruction mark moves downward at a predetermined tempo, and when the lower end of the key pressing instruction mark reaches the lower keyboard figure K is the key pressing timing, the key pressing instruction mark corresponding to the key being pressed is displayed. The time when the key disappears from the screen is the key release timing. The movement or scrolling of the key press instruction is performed when the player presses the key. The scroll timing may be the key release instead of the key press.
[0046]
As for the display of the key press instruction, the one described in the specification of Japanese Patent Application No. 2001-352206 filed by the present applicant can be applied. The display of the key pressing instruction is not limited to scrolling, but may be an instruction for the entire song at the same time, or the display may be changed by switching the screen. When scrolling the key press instruction, the speed is arbitrary and may be in accordance with the tempo of the music.
[0047]
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a main part function for unit designation. In the figure, the performance storage unit 3 stores unit performance information of practice music every time the performance of each unit ends. The unit pass determination unit 4 determines whether all units of the current grade have passed the pass criteria based on the information stored in the grade storage unit 3, and if all units have passed, instructs the determination result to upgrade. Input to section 5. The upgrade instruction unit 5 outputs an upgrade instruction to the lesson menu display unit 6 in response to the input determination result. In response to the upgrade instruction, the lesson menu display unit 6 designates the first unit of the grade one level higher than the current grade as the unit to be played next, and displays a lesson menu clearly indicating this on the display 14. For example, it is surrounded by a thick frame like the unit U2 in FIG.
[0048]
The unit is designated on the lesson menu, and the performance data of the designated unit is read from the performance data storage unit 7 to the key press instruction display unit 8. The key pressing instruction display section 8 outputs a key pressing instruction based on the performance data to the display 14, and performs the display of FIG.
[0049]
When the unit pass determination unit 4 determines that only a part of the current grade unit has passed, the determination result is input to the unit update unit 9. The unit update unit 9 outputs a unit update instruction to the lesson menu display unit 6 in response to the input determination result. In response to the unit update instruction, the lesson menu display unit 6 displays that the next unit after the currently specified unit is the unit to be played next. Since the units are centrally managed to have the same contents, in updating the units, the unit having the same musical sound information as the previously passed unit is not specified, but the next unit to be played is specified.
[0050]
The display format of the lesson menu is not limited to the one corresponding to the actual score as shown in FIG. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a lesson menu in which a musical score is represented by a keyboard graphic and a mark corresponding to the keyboard graphic. The keyboard figure was placed at the bottom of the screen, and a time mark was displayed above and below it to indicate the length of the musical note. The unit display for each grade is displayed on the right side of this mark.
[0051]
In FIG. 7, the unit including the first to fourth measures of grade (5) passes, and the unit including the fifth to eighth measures is rejected (rank D), and is composed of the fifth and sixth measures again. Here is an example where a unit is specified.
[0052]
In the above-described embodiment, the unit is set so that if the performance of one unit passes, the next bar in the same grade is played. However, the present invention is not limited to this setting method, and it can be set so that many consecutive bars can be practiced as early as possible.
[0053]
For example, in FIG. 3, if the unit U1 and the next adjacent unit pass, then the next unit in the same grade is not designated but the grade is increased by one grade and You can also proceed to the first unit. The first unit of Grade 4 is a combination of the first two units of Grade 5 and you will experience a relatively long performance in Grade 4 that you will practice through these two units. it can.
[0054]
Then, if the first unit of the grade (4) passes, the process returns to the grade (5) again and selects the third unit. If it passes, select the 4th unit of the next grade (5). If the fourth unit of grade (5) passes, the grade is increased to (4) and the second unit is selected. If the second unit passes, the first unit of grade (3) is selected. In this way, when a lower grade unit included in one unit of the upper grade passes, the user can proceed to the upper grade to practice.
[0055]
It should be noted that the key press instruction is designed to increase the proficiency by preventing the next scroll unless the specified key is pressed. However, in the highest grade (1), the proficiency of the player must be increased, so even if the key is not pressed as instructed, the key pressing instruction information may be scrolled. Good. This is in order to be able to practice the performance throughout the song as much as possible.
[0056]
The unit does not need to be fixed. The boundary of the unit set in the performance data is set to a size that is considered to be preferred by many users. However, this setting may be difficult for the user to play. For example, if a player wants to practice a long part at once, if the unit is fixed, the only option is to practice at a higher grade with a larger unit size. In such a case, if the user can change the size of the unit by changing the boundary line, it is convenient to change the length at a stretch without changing the grade.
[0057]
When units are set in advance in the performance data, for example, it is easy to mechanically divide into two measures. However, for a song such as a song with a break that does not have a performance break at a bar line, units divided by bars are inconvenient. In such a case, it is extremely convenient if the boundary of the unit can be moved.
[0058]
FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of setting an inappropriate unit. This figure is a song of a weakness (song name: firefly light), which is simply set so that two measures constitute a minimum unit. This song is well known, especially for beginners who can practice singing lyrics. However, the division of the units shown in this figure does not correspond to the utterances of "hotaru no" and "hikari", so there is a point where it is difficult to play.
[0059]
Therefore, the boundaries of the units are reset so that the unit can be practiced with the unit division corresponding to the utterance. By doing so, the range to be played at a time corresponds to the unit, which makes it easier for beginners to practice.
[0060]
FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example in which the unit boundaries in FIG. 8 are reset. In this way, the unit division is changed, and a lesson menu is created so that the user can practice along the lyrics of "Firefly Light".
[0061]
Although this example shows a simple tune for easy understanding, there are actually various complicated tunes, and it is difficult to properly set the unit automatically by a computer. Therefore, it is meaningful to have a function of resetting the unit division.
[0062]
FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a lesson menu of another tune suitable for resetting the unit. In this song, in order to practice bar 8 and bar 9 in succession, you must advance to grade (1). Therefore, for example, a unit including the eighth measure and the ninth measure is set in grade (4) so that the eighth measure and the ninth measure can be continuously practiced. In this way, the practice range can be reset once for the lower grade according to the user's preference, and effective practice is possible.
[0063]
In order to change the size of the unit, for example, a boundary line (vertical line separating the unit) of the unit to be moved is designated with the mouse 13 and drawn to an arbitrary position. In addition, a new boundary may be added to a unit, or an existing boundary may be deleted. In this case, the boundary is rounded to a vertical line (mainly a line separating one note) shown on the musical score. As a method of editing a line on a figure, a well-known drawing method can be adopted.
[0064]
When the unit is reset, the area for managing the grade is also changed at the same time. For example, in the example of FIG. 10, when the eighth bar and the ninth bar are defined as one unit, the performance management is performed for this unit.
[0065]
In the above-described embodiment, an example has been described in which a key press instruction and a lesson menu are displayed based on performance data. However, the performance data can also be used as data for automatic performance. A sample reproduction start switch is displayed in the lesson menu, and by instructing this switch, the sample performance is performed according to the performance data included in the practice portion, that is, the designated unit. The sample performance may be automatically terminated when the reproduction of the performance data of the unit ends, or a switch for stopping the sample reproduction may be provided in the lesson menu.
[0066]
In addition, it is possible to actually listen to and confirm the practice result. A recording / playback switch is provided in the lesson menu to record the performance results in the storage device of the personal computer 11 so that the recorded results can be played back. The above-described sample reproduction and the reproduction of the performance result are performed using a sound unit connected to the keyboard instrument 21.
[0067]
【The invention's effect】
As is clear from the above description, according to the inventions of claims 1 to 7, the practice location can be designated by units having different sizes according to the proficiency levels, and when a predetermined unit of each proficiency level reaches the acceptance criteria. Proceed to higher proficiency practice. Therefore, it is possible to gradually increase the proficiency while gradually expanding the practice range.
[0068]
In particular, according to the inventions of claims 4, 5, and 6, the player can list the progress of the practice on the lesson menu. Further, according to the invention of claim 7, since the units having the same contents are not repeatedly practiced, the training efficiency is increased and the player is not bored by monotonous practice.
[0069]
Further, according to the invention of claim 8, since the unit can be reset according to the preference so that the player can easily practice, the practice efficiency is enhanced.
