Description

  The present invention relates to a keyboard musical instrument performance support method and a keyboard musical instrument performance support apparatus.

  When playing a keyboard instrument, it is performed after understanding the individual notes of the music melody and the corresponding keyboard positions. If you don't understand it, you can write down the score or put a sticker directly on the keyboard to display the position of each sound.

For those who are not familiar with the score, it is difficult to understand the relationship between the individual notes of the score and the actual keyboard position.
In addition, the explanation is difficult, so it affects the continuation of learning for young children who have just started learning.
At present, attempts are made to match the positions of individual keys constituting the melody of the score with the position of the key to be pressed, such as by writing on the score or by sticking a sticker or writing directly on the keyboard.
However, the method of sticking a sticker on the keyboard or the method of writing directly takes a lot of time to display on a large number of keys, and may damage or soil the keyboard.

In a keyboard instrument, each note of the keyboard is displayed as a 5-line note or a display symbol such as a picture or character on a display that is placed on a black key so as to cover a part of the back side of the keystroke surface of the keyboard. By solving the problem, the problem is solved by a performance support method that makes it easy to understand the individual notes of the music melody and the corresponding keyboard positions.
Place it on the black key of the keyboard instrument or stand up from the gap of the keyboard so that it covers a part of the keying surface of the keyboard. The keyboard sound display 2 displayed with symbols such as symbols and pictures and characters and the individual sounds constituting the melody of the performance music are replaced with the display symbols used in the keyboard sound display 2 and displayed. The performance support method is embodied by a keyboard musical instrument performance support device including the performance melody display 1.
For the performance tune, the performance melody display 1 shown in FIG. 1 is used to replace the display symbols used in the keyboard sound display, and individual sounds constituting the melody of the performance tune are displayed. The performance melody display 1 is placed on the musical score or directly on the music stand.
A keyboard sound display 2 shown in 2 of FIG. 2 is installed so as to float on the black key so as to partially cover the back side of the keystroke surface of the keyboard around the sound range necessary for performance of the keyboard instrument.
The individual notes of the scale are displayed directly on the keyboard sound display 2 with the notes on the five lines and the display symbols, or the card-like members shown in 3 to 4 of FIG. Installing. The card-like members 3 to 4 each represent one sound like a word card. Only the card-like members 3 to 4 that are necessary for performance are mounted on the keyboard sound display body 2.
FIG. 3 shows a side view when set on the keyboard.

As described above, the performance melody display body 1 and the keyboard sound display body 2 on which only the card-like members 3 to 4 necessary for performance are displayed display individual sounds by a method suited to the subject. Therefore, it is easy to understand from children to the elderly.
If you use it at the beginning of learning, you can touch and play the instrument from the beginning, which will improve your willingness to learn.
Since the display is made using the part on the back side of the keyboard's keystroke surface, there is little trouble in performance.
The keyboard sound indicator 2 is easy to attach and detach without damaging or soiling the keyboard, so it can be used wherever there is a keyboard instrument.
Since this technology is based on the viewpoint of universal design, it has the effect that anyone can become a performer in various situations such as music classes, concerts, and music therapy.

First, the keyboard sound display 2 will be described.
The keyboard sound display 2 is installed at the upper part on the back side of the keystroke surface of the keyboard.
The keyboard sound display body 2 is assumed to have a width of about one octave and a depth of about a half of the keyboard, and a dividing line having the same width as each keyboard.
A transparent pocket with the same width as each keyboard may be created so that card-like members 3 to 4 can be inserted. All the sounds can be displayed by the card-like members 3 to 4 if a pocket having the same width as the black key is attached to the upper part of the keyboard sound display body 2 so as not to overlap with the pocket displaying the white key.
When the keyboard sound display body 2 is placed on a black key, the keyboard sound display body 2 is prevented from slipping, such as by attaching a non-slip to the back surface of the keyboard sound display body 2 or making it stickable many times. A magnet and metal fittings may be used to prevent it from shifting.
It may be possible to install the keyboard sound display body 2 without touching the black key directly, for example, by creating a margin in the keyboard sound display body 2 and inserting it into the gap of the keyboard.

Next, the card-like members 3 to 4 will be described.
Card-like members 3 to 4 having a shape like a word card are stacked in accordance with the division of the keyboard sound display body 2 and attached by an adhesive type or a magnet so as not to be displaced. Alternatively, the card-like members 3 to 4 are inserted into the keyboard sheet pocket.
The card-like members 4a to 4g showing the sound of the white key have the same width as one white key and a length of about two thirds of the depth of the keyboard sound display body 2. The card-like members 3a to 3g showing the sound of the black key have the same width as one black key and a length of about one third of the depth of the keyboard sound display body 2.
Individual sounds are displayed using musical notes on five lines and display symbols such as pictures resembling sounds, hiragana, katakana, alphabets, numbers, and braille according to the subject.
It is good to devise it according to the target person by making the part of the picture a coloring picture or writing it by yourself.
If you print on a large piece of paper and cut it out in a card, you can use it for replenishment.
There is also a method of recording the sound on the keyboard sound display body 2 without using the card-like members 3 to 4, but the removable card-like member for each sound can be freely changed within the necessary range according to the performance music. be able to.
The card display may be printed in advance or entered each time. If only the notes on the 5th line are written later, “do” “re” “mi” “fa” “so” “ra” “shi” 7 kinds of white key and black key members should be prepared. Sound can be displayed flexibly.

Here, the case where the music of the performance melody display body 1 is played is demonstrated. As shown in FIG. 4, the performance melody display 1 is pasted on the score. In the musical instrument, the keyboard sound display body 2 is installed around the sound range to be used so that it is floated on the black key so as to cover a part of the back side of the keying surface of the keyboard. The card-like members 3 to 4 to be mounted on the keyboard sound display 2 are also easy to understand if only those necessary for performance are used.
“DO”, “RE”, “MI”, “FA” and “SO” are displayed with the card-like members 4a to 4e attached, and the sound above “DO” is displayed with the card-like member 3a attached.

Next, the performance melody display 1 will be described.
The performance melody display 1 replaces and displays the individual sounds of the performance melody with the display symbols used in the keyboard sound display 2. It is desirable to use such a width and length that can be pasted between the five lines, displayed with a display symbol at a position corresponding to the note, and pasted on the score. It is convenient to create it so that it can be easily adhered like a seal.
However, if it is not the purpose of learning, the performance melody display 1 can be played more easily by placing it alone on the music stand.
