  However, the practice method of following a keyboard that shines along with the accompaniment requires a long time and patience until the finger or hand remembers the keystroke position and order. In addition, it is relatively easy for beginners to perform repetitive practice while looking at the music score if it is a C-major song that cannot be blended. For example, E major music has 4 Since it has a sharp symbol, it is difficult for beginners to grasp which keyboard should be played at a glance. For this reason, looking at a musical score with a plurality of blends makes it difficult to do so, and there are many people who get frustrated during practice.

  Even if you can't play keyboard instruments at all, it's easy for many people to learn and play with your favorite melodies such as nursery rhymes and singing songs.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and provides a keyboard with an accompaniment function that makes it possible to play the main melody in accordance with automatic accompaniment without having to look at any music score and to continue practicing happily. Objective.

  The present invention is a keyboard with an accompaniment function comprising storage means for storing accompaniment data of a plurality of music pieces, and automatic accompaniment means for reproducing accompaniment based on the stored accompaniment data, wherein the storage means further includes Singing voice data for singing the main melody of a song by a so-called moving dosing method, voice navigation means for reproducing the singing voice by reading out the singing voice data of the designated music piece, and a moving voice corresponding to the key of the designated music piece And a keyboard name display section indicating the keyboard position of the scale.

  The moving dosing method is also called the floor nomenclature method, and is a method of recognizing the scale relative to the main sound as “do” and singing in the Doremi regardless of the number of tones.

According to the present invention, the voice navigation means that sings by the moving dosing method can happily memorize the main melody with a relaxed feeling while singing the main melody with the Doremi song. Memorizing the main melody with your ears is more efficient than using a musical score and a keyboard to visually capture the scale and remember it with your fingers or hands. In addition, listening to the moving dosing method also serves as a training for relative pitch, so it is effective for acquiring a rich pitch.
Since the position of the keyboard corresponding to the main melody learned by the moving dosing method is obvious at a glance by the keyboard name display section, it is possible to perform the main melody with one hand without looking at the musical score at all.
And with automatic accompaniment means, you can play along with accompaniment by various instruments, so even if it is a difficult classical music, you can play the main melody with one hand and feel as if you are performing with an orchestra. The performance that overflows can be realized, and the performer himself can feel happy.
In addition, even beginners who are not confident to play with both hands can not only concentrate on playing with one hand, but also set the tempo according to the skill of the performer and put the emotion into the main melody and play more carefully. By playing with automatic accompaniment, you will be able to entertain and impress your heart.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of a keyboard 1 with an accompaniment function according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the keyboard 1 with an accompaniment function according to the present embodiment includes a keyboard 2, a keyboard name display unit 3, a display screen 4, an operation unit 5, a CPU 10, a ROM 11, a RAM 12, and an acoustic system 13. .

  The ROM 11 stores various control programs to be executed by the CPU 10. The ROM 11 stores accompaniment data, singing voice data, and scale data of each key displayed on the keyboard name display unit 3 in association with music information such as music names and composer names.

  The singing voice data is singing voice data for singing the main melody of the music by the so-called moving dosing method, and the voice navigation means of the present invention is based on the singing voice data stored in the ROM 11 for the main melody of the music specified by the performer. Output from the acoustic system 13. This singing voice is not limited to a recording of a singing voice sung by a person, but may be a singing voice emitted by a computer.

The moving dosing method is a method of singing in the name of Doremifasolaside with “D” as the main sound. For example, in G major music, the main tone is “So” and “Fa” is accompanied by a sharp symbol, so “Sorashido Remifa #So” is one scale. If this is followed by the moving method, as shown in FIG. 3, the main sound “So” can be read as “Do” and “Fa #” can be read as “Sh”.
In English-speaking countries, CDEFGAB is used as a pitch name, and in German-speaking countries, CDEFGAH is used. Therefore, in the present invention, singing voice data may be sung by CDEFGAB or CDEFGAH.

  Accompaniment data is based on accompaniment played by one or more various musical instruments such as percussion instruments, stringed instruments, and keyboard instruments.

  Singing voice data and accompaniment data can be added from the outside as appropriate. Accompaniment and singing voice can be reproduced together, but accompaniment and singing voice can also be reproduced independently. In addition, when playing accompaniment and singing voice together, the accompaniment and singing voice are shifted so that the singing voice is played before the accompaniment. Navigate with singing voice. In addition, the tempo of the singing voice and the accompaniment can be changed, and the pitch does not change even if the tempo is changed.

  The keyboard 2 does not matter the number of keys, but 61 keys are preferable.

As shown in FIG. 2, the keyboard name display unit 3 is located on the back side of the keyboard 2 as viewed from the performer, and displays the position of the keyboard 2 corresponding to the scale of the moving music specified by the performer. It is. For example, in G major music, as described above, according to the moving character, the main sound “seo” is read as “do” and “fa #” is read as “si”. Therefore, when the performer designates a music piece in G major, as shown in FIG. 3, the keyboard name display unit 3 displays “do” on the keyboard that is originally the position of “seo”, and the main body “fa #”. “Sh” is displayed on the keyboard.
Since various musical pieces have so-called transpositions that change the key during the music, the keyboard name display unit 3 may change the key according to the accompaniment. Further, for example, there is a song that requires a special symbol in the song, such as “for Elise”, which is a song in A minor, so the keyboard name display unit 3 displays the keyboard position according to the special symbol in accordance with the accompaniment. May be displayed temporarily.

  The keyboard name display unit 3 may be a liquid crystal screen whose display is automatically switched according to a specified musical tone, or a sheet-like one made of paper, plastic, or the like that corresponds to the musical tone.

For example, the keyboard name display unit 3 moves on the front side of the keyboard 2 when viewed from the performer or on the black key and the white key. Any position may be used as long as the player can recognize the position of the keyboard 2 corresponding to the scale of the keyboard. In addition, the keyboard name display unit 3 places the black key display position behind the white key display position from the player so that the black key and the white key can be distinguished as shown in FIGS. It may be displayed, or the display position of each key may be displayed in a straight line without distinguishing the black key and the white key. Further, as shown in FIG. 12 and FIG. 13, alphabets may be displayed in accordance with English-speaking countries using CDEFGAB and German-speaking countries using CDEFGAH as pitch names. The keyboard name display unit is not limited to the embodiment shown in FIGS. 3 to 13 and includes ones corresponding to all other keys.

  The display screen 4 displays the key, composer, tempo, etc. in addition to the name of the music being played.

  The operation unit 5 includes various switches for operating start / stop, music designation, volume, tempo, and the like.

Next, an example of a practice method using the present invention will be described.
