Description

The present invention relates to automatic generation of a rhythm pattern used for first-time performance practice of a score.

Patent Document 1 reports a technique related to the acquisition of pitch literacy as a system that can be applied to reading practice. Acquiring literacy of pitch is meaningful for reading comprehension. However, literacy of rhythm scores is indispensable for reading, and learning of reading literacy alone does not mean that you have acquired complete reading skills. Therefore, it is desirable to have a technique for learning literacy of rhythm scores that increases the utility of practice as a whole.

As a traditional rhythm score literacy learning method, for example, you first learn basic notation that expresses the duration of sounds such as quarter, eighth, sixteenth, and dotted lines, and then learns practice music. Next, there is a method of learning a musical score about an actual musical piece. In the practice score, for example, a rhythm pattern in which notes of a single duration are combined with rest and a rhythm pattern in which notes with different durations are combined are described. Although it is desired that the practice score be as simple as each practitioner can handle and to have a pattern that is complex and varied enough to obtain a practice effect, conventionally, the practice score has a fixed content that does not change. Has been used. In order to obtain practice scores with content changes by automatic generation using random numbers, etc., we answered the question of what rules should be created for efficient rhythm score literacy acquisition, It is necessary for each practitioner to derive a simple and sufficiently varied pattern generation method.

Rhythm literacy and pitch literacy are complementary in interpreting the musical meaning of a melody on a musical score. Moreover, even if the problem is usually a complex problem that is difficult to solve, it may be relatively easy to guide the solution if it can be broken down into two independent problems. At least in reading practice, the practice of separating rhythm and pitch literacy practice is realized, and further, the efficiency of practice is adjusted by adjusting the combination and practice design of both in a series of practice processes. A surprising improvement can be realized.

Japanese Patent Application 2016-111773

An object of this invention is to provide the technique regarding the literacy acquisition of a rhythm score.

The present invention is characterized in that a sufficiently complex musical rhythm pattern is generated as a reading practice material by a method of assigning a rhythm to each sound after fixing the number of sounds per unit measure.

That is, for example, in one aspect of the present invention, the number of sounds per unit measure is set to be larger than the number of time signature numerators by dividing the time signature using a selection means that is not based on artificial intentions. The rhythm is assigned to each sound after limiting the number to a number smaller than twice the number (claim 1).

[Definition]
The selection means not based on artificial intention means means for selecting numbers or the like alternatively using random numbers or dice.
The unit measure means one measure when a series of musical patterns is written on the score.
The time signature means one beat in the time signature when a series of musical patterns is written on the score. For example, in the case of 4/4 time, it means a quarter note in a unit measure.
A time signature is a series of musical patterns written on a score, where the number of beats contained in a unit measure is shown in the numerator, and the type of note that bears the length of one beat is shown in the denominator. It means symbols such as 4 and 3/4. Note that the time signature notation used for rhythms such as 4/4 and 3/4 attached to the staff is widely known.
The number of notes means the number of opportunities for the performer to act or omission according to the score, and one note in the number of notes is a single note that appears as one note on the score, and a chord. It is an idea that includes the notion of sound expressed by notation or rest. In other words, rests and chords are counted as one note in the number of notes, in addition to one note without a chord.

[Technical significance]
In one aspect of the present invention, for example, in the case of 4/4 time, the number of sounds per unit measure is limited to 5 to 7, and the rhythm is assigned to each sound, so that it can be used for reading practice. It enables questions of sufficiently complex musical rhythm patterns as materials. In other words, in the case of four quarters, measures to divide the quarter note sound of at least one of the four beats into two eighth notes or to divide them into dotted eighth notes and sixteenth notes. Thus, a rhythm pattern having 5 or more sounds per unit measure is obtained. For example, the number of sounds when one of four beats is divided is 5, and the number of sounds when three of the four beats are divided is seven. Here, it is intended that, in principle, a pattern of 4 sounds or 8 sounds in the case of 4 beats and a pattern of 3 sounds or 6 sounds in the case of 3 beats should not be adopted in principle. This is because the limitation of the number of notes is based on the idea that a rhythm pattern consisting of simple hits is too simple as a practice material for reading rhythm scores. However, this idea is one idea from the viewpoint of “practicing reading rhythm scores,” and it does not deny the usefulness that beginners use for learning examples of rhythm patterns consisting of simple strikes. In other words, for example, the application method of the mode of performing the reading practice using the rhythm pattern obtained by the present invention after the practice of simple repeated hits is not disturbed.

In one aspect of the present invention, a change rule relating to the number of sounds per unit measure is fixed when a plurality of questions are made continuously (claim 2).
For example, the number of tones for the first question is 5, the number of tones for the next question is 6, the number of tones for the next question is 5, the number of tones for the next question is 6, and so on. A change rule that repeats six may be considered. In that case, for example, the integrated number of sounds at the time when the number of bars in question is an even number is a multiple of 11, and the relationship between the number of bars in question and the integrated number of sounds in different practice times is the same. By fixing the change rule regarding the number of sounds, the relationship between the number of bars in question and the integrated number of sounds can be made linear. Control that changes the number of sounds sequentially is a meaningful device for performing various questions, and how to control the total number of sounds by controlling the change rule has improved how the processing ability has improved by practice. It can also be a meaningful device for quantifying or comparing these. For example, even if the number of bars in the question is equal, it is expected that there will be a difference in the processing time depending on the difference in the number of integrated sounds when the integrated number of sounds is 500 and the number of integrated sounds is 700. If the relationship between the number of measures and the total number of notes has a certain linearity, the possibility that the total number of notes will deviate can be eliminated, and the processing time for a given number of measures can be treated as a reference value for processing capacity. Becomes easy. The change rule that repeats 5 and 6 sounds as described here is an example, and questions such as 5 and 6 and 7 are repeated, and 6 and 7 are repeated.

[Technical significance]
The idea of making the number of product-calculated notes constant in the rhythm score is the basis for quantifying or comparing the processing speed, including, for example, measuring the ability change of the trainer by practice.

One aspect of the present invention is applied to a reading practice game using a computer.

[Technical significance]
By comparing and evaluating mechanically generated rhythms and the contents input by the practitioner and displaying the results to the user, it is possible to perform more efficient reading practice. By using a machine for the questions, it becomes possible to immediately and continuously give questions that are not bound by the habits of the composer and the tendency of composition. Furthermore, it is advantageous to perform correctness determination automatically using a machine. “User” refers to an inventor who includes a practitioner and an instructor.

Preferably, not only questions with the same sound but also questions with a change in pitch according to cadence can be made (claim 4).

[Definition]
Here, “cadence” means a rule concerning the chord progression of a song or musical pattern.

[Technical significance]
For example, by adopting a questioning method that involves changing pitches according to a certain cadence between different unit measures, it is possible to give a practitioner corresponding to that question a “feeling like playing some song” become. In addition, when the questions with musical chords can be given, the range of the questions increases. For example, questions that repeat a single note and a musical chord alternately in one measure or include a musical chord in an irregular position can be facilitated.

In one aspect of the present invention, rhythm information by linguistic expression is written together with the output rhythm score (claim 5).

[Technical significance]
The system that guides and supports the introduction practice by adding “Rhythm information by linguistic expression” is useful for quick improvement of beginners.

In one aspect of the present invention, an image showing the position of the hand with respect to the keyboard is written in the output rhythm score (claim 6).

[Technical significance]
Supporting the practice with “intuitive position information by visual expression” such as the position image of the hand with respect to the keyboard makes it easy for the practitioner to input the pitch. This contrivance is based on the intention that the operation or evaluation related to rhythm input is set as a primary position, and the operation related to pitch input is set as a secondary position.

And this invention has the aspect as a program invention (Claim 7).

[Technical significance]
The range of technical use can be expanded by applying the program and its recording media.

By carrying out the present invention, it is possible to efficiently promote literacy learning especially on the rhythm score of the practitioner.

It is a figure which shows the basic sound division | segmentation point in a rhythm pattern production | generation. An example of a change in the number of sounds is illustrated. It is a block block diagram of a reading practice game system. An example of the cadence used is shown. This is an example in which linguistic expressions are written together with the output rhythm pattern. It is an example of a reading practice game screen on which hand position information is written. This is an example of a basic procedure for screen transitions accompanying game progress.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide an excellent technique for literacy learning of rhythm scores by dividing the time signature using a selection means that is not based on artificial intentions, and calculating the number of sounds per unit measure as the number of time signature numerators. This was realized by assigning a rhythm to each sound after limiting the value to a range that is larger and smaller than twice the number of numerators of time signatures.

Based on this principle, a sufficiently complex musical rhythm pattern can be continuously created and used as a reading practice material.

Hereinafter, each embodiment of the invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a basic division procedure for a sound forming one beat in rhythm pattern generation and a specific rhythm pattern.

In FIG. 1, (a) is an undivided quarter note, and (b) to (d) are images of dividing a quarter note. Specifically, (b) is an image obtained by dividing a quarter note into two eighth notes, (c) is an image obtained by dividing a quarter note into dotted eighth notes and sixteenth notes, and (d ) Is an image obtained by dividing a quarter note into a 16th note and a dotted eighth note.
FIG. 1 (e) shows a specific example of a rhythm pattern generated by such a dividing procedure. If “rhythm information by linguistic expression” is added to (e) in the manner of (a) to (d), “Ta-a-ta-ta-ta-tan-tan” will be additionally displayed. This division procedure or division procedure is primarily an idea for creating a rhythm pattern that is used for reading practice, but it is also the basis for composition in a broader sense. By the way, if the patterns obtained by such division are integrated with sounds different from the original one, it is possible to create a musical rhythm pattern that can contain sounds longer than quarter notes. If you create a rhythm pattern that randomly contains long and short sounds without going through this process of dividing the beat, for example, there will be a half note after the first sixteenth note, followed by a sixteenth note. Rhythm patterns that are generally not very musical, such as continuing, often appear. It can be said that the fundamental principle of the present invention is characterized in that it is possible to prevent the generation of such a rhythm pattern that is generally not so musical.

If one quarter note selected by random numbers in the manner of (b) to (d) in FIG. 1 is divided, the number of sounds included in the rhythm pattern is increased by one. For example, if a pattern consisting of four quarter notes is divided into two notes, a rhythm pattern consisting of five notes is obtained. Further, when one of the remaining quarter notes is divided into two, a rhythm pattern consisting of six notes is obtained, and when one of the remaining quarter notes is divided into two, a rhythm pattern consisting of seven notes is obtained. That is, the number of sounds included in the rhythm pattern can be controlled by controlling the number of divisions and the number of integrations. As described above, one note in the number of notes is a concept that includes not only a simple sound but also a chord and a rest.

By the way, when the integration is not performed, the rhythm pattern obtained when the division type is limited to that shown in FIG. 1 (b) is an easy rhythm pattern consisting of only quarters and eighths. By manipulating the frequency of replacing notes with rests or chords, the difficulty of the resulting pattern can be controlled. According to this control, the difficulty level can be adjusted, which is meaningful in practicing a load with just the right amount for each practitioner. Further, it is possible to devise such as gradually increasing the difficulty level by the control.

There can be various aspects of the difficulty level design of the generated rhythm pattern. For example, a rhythm pattern consisting of sounds that should be played with the right hand (for example, note number = 60 according to the midi standard) and sounds that should be played with the left hand (for example, note number = 48 according to the midi standard) The viewpoint of whether or not to repeat the rhythm pattern consisting of the above is also included in the viewpoint of the difficulty level control related to rhythm pattern generation. Furthermore, patterns that involve more complex pitch changes than left and right alternate questions such as one octave change (although it may literally be a melody or musical phrase rather than a rhythm pattern) If it can be expressed with a rhythm element, it can be included in the concept of rhythm pattern. In other words, it is an essential purpose of the difficulty level design to support the process of reading music practice that starts with the practice of reading rhythm scores with simple rhythm patterns and gradually increases the reading skills of the trainees through detailed steps. This is what is intended. One of the most important elements is the control over the division of a single beat in rhythm pattern generation.

The present invention defines a limited range in which the number of sounds per unit measure is “a number larger than the number of numerators of time signatures and smaller than twice the number of numerators of time signatures”. There is no problem in further limiting. For example, the number of notes per unit measure is “the number of time signature numerators plus an integer greater than or equal to one quarter of the time signature numerator and less than three quarters of the time signature numerator.” The idea of limiting to is also an idea that is included in the idea of the present invention. In light of the basic idea of the present invention that limits the number of notes per unit measure, especially when the number of beats contained in a unit measure, that is, the number of time signature numerators is sufficiently large, It will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art that a narrower limit that is larger than the number of numerator molecules and less than twice the number of numerator molecules may function meaningfully. It is safe to limit the content in a specific case by taking into account the number of time signature numerators contained in the unit measure. Of course, even if the number of numerators of the time signature is 4, not only the lower limit of the number of sounds is 5 and the upper limit is 7, but, for example, a pattern that includes only quarters and eighths and does not include sixteenths. May have measures such as setting the lower limit of the number of sounds to 5 and the upper limit to 6. However, it is intended to demarcate the “limited range of divisions” that “the number of sounds per unit measure is larger than the number of time signature numerators and less than twice the number of time signature numerators”. By the way.

“Limiting and controlling the number of sounds” is important not only in terms of difficulty design, but also in ensuring a variety of questions. By limiting the number of sounds, it is possible to perform questions that exclude the pattern of mere repeated hits, and also by relatively simple control of changing the number of sounds during a series of exercises, This is because it becomes possible to perform questions that completely exclude questions.

FIG. 2 illustrates the change in the number of sounds included in the rhythm pattern per unit measure. Each of (a) to (c) in Fig. 2 is a quarter note with four beats, and the number of beats is four. The score should be written as 4/4.

FIG. 2 (a) shows an example of a rhythm pattern having five sounds, FIG. 2 (b) shows an example of six sounds, and FIG. 2 (c) shows an example of seven sounds. If the number of divisions and the rules for changing the number of divisions are fixed, for example, if the questions are repeated so that the number of sounds is 5 → 6 → 7 → 5 → 6 → 7. In the case of entrusting to the above, it is possible to completely exclude consecutive questions of the same pattern, and it is possible to keep the product calculation number of the number of sounds per number of bars of the question constant. Realization of a variety of question methods that are surely rich in variety is meaningful in order to effectively acquire reading ability in a short period of practice. It should be noted that the change rule may be controlled in the order of 5 → 6 → 7 → 6 → 5 → 7 →... So that the total number of sounds is the same. Further, like the example of the change rule described above, the change rule of the number of sounds described here is an exemplification, and does not preclude questions by other rules.

The intention of “limiting the number of sounds and controlling the change in the number of sounds” includes the intention that, in principle, the same contents as those given immediately before will not be given next time. However, if the practitioner makes a mistake, it is meaningful to repeat the same content until the practitioner can handle the wrong question content. If the practitioner is wrong, additional measures such as repeatedly practicing until the correct unit measure is correct should be allowed. Such exceptional and additional devices can be easily assumed by those skilled in the art.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram illustrating an example of a basic configuration according to one embodiment of the present invention.

The system shown here stores the rhythm pattern and pitch information created by the control scenario and random number information stored in ROM in RAM, and displays the rhythm pattern and the musical score for the pitch on the output device. Has a mechanism. Furthermore, the contents of the input from the input device are stored in the RAM, and the CPU compares the rhythm pattern information stored in the RAM and the input contents according to the control scenario stored in the ROM, and according to the comparison result. It has a mechanism to control the display contents of the output device. Although one aspect of the present invention is basically intended to operate on a personal computer, various hardware components are combined with a plurality of machines, and functions are allocated and executed on them. These modifications can be easily assumed, and these modifications are naturally included in the concept of the present invention.

There are several methods for mechanically evaluating the rhythm content input by the practitioner.
One is a method of evaluating the duration of the subsequent sound based on the time length occupied by the previous input sound. For example, if the time interval between the previous input and the subsequent input is 1.0 second, the next time interval is greater than (0.5 + 1.0) / 2 (seconds) and (1.0 + 1.5) / 2 (seconds) If it is smaller, the previous sound and the subsequent sound are evaluated as having the same duration. In this case, for example, if the next time interval is (0.5 + 1.0) / 2 (seconds) or less, the subsequent sound is evaluated as having a duration half that of the previous sound, and (1.0 + 1.5 ) / 2 (seconds) or more, the later sound is evaluated to have a duration 1.5 times that of the previous sound. In other words, this is a method of comparing the length of the immediately preceding sound and the length of the subsequent sound one by one, and is an evaluation method that can cope with fluctuations in the tempo. Although the values 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 have been exemplified here, specific threshold values should be determined in consideration of the minimum unit duration and its ratio, such as whether to evaluate triplet input. become.
Another evaluation method is, for example, “When the ratio of the length of each sound is calculated from the original input information and rounded to an integer value, the sum of the differences from the original input information is minimized. There is a method for evaluating the “integer ratio of”. According to this method, the balance of the entire input content is evaluated rather than evaluation one by one. In this case, integer ratios such as 1: 3: 2: 2: 4: 2 and 2: 6: 4: 4: 8: 4 are equivalent, but for example, the total duration of unit measures and the maximum allowable duration If the value of is used as a threshold value, an appropriate integer ratio can be easily selected. That is, for example, if the sum of durations is 16, an integer ratio that increases the sum of the elements can be excluded, or if the longest allowable duration is 4, an integer ratio that increases the value of the elements can be excluded. However, a device for such a specific calculation procedure can be easily assumed by those skilled in the art.
There may be various algorithms or ingenuity for the method of evaluating the input length ratio and balance. However, the idea of evaluating information including errors in the so-called least square method is an idea that is already widely used, and when the input length is rounded to an integer ratio under game conditions determined by the contents of the unit measures etc. Individual specific algorithms or contrivances can be easily assumed by those skilled in the art. Whatever algorithm or device is adopted for the evaluation method, it is sufficient if the input content can be evaluated as an error when a rhythm pattern that is clearly different from the stored and displayed question content is input.

FIG. 4 shows an example of a cadence that can be used in the present invention.

Each symbol of I to VI in FIG. 4 corresponds to each diatonic code. For example, if the key is C major (C major, that is, tonic is C), I is C major, II is D minor, III is E minor, IV is F major, V is G major, VI is A minor chord chord means. In accordance with the example in this figure, chord progression appears if you select a limb using random numbers, dice, or the like. That is, for example, (1-1-1) I → IV, (1-4-2) IV → II, (1-2-3) II → V → I, etc. In this way, subsequent code candidates are determined and connected. I → IV → II → V → I obtained in this way, that is, C → F → Dm → G → C, etc. should be a musical chord progression.
Such cadence is particularly useful when doing questions with musical chords. In the example of chord progression above, the change in sound of each unit measure such as Domi → Dofa → Refera → Reso → Miso can be applied to practice for the purpose of reading rhythm patterns. It should be. Practicing reading of rhythm scores without pitches makes you feel like a Morse code sender. This is because practice is much more fun and musically meaningful.

FIG. 5 shows some examples of the score portion of the reading practice game screen in which linguistic expressions are written together.

In each example of FIG. 5, the linguistic expression in Japanese is used except that the position where the linguistic expression is written is below the musical note and the numerical notation is used in the unit measure on the bottom line. The position of the linguistic expression is below or above the notes, and the content of the linguistic expression is "3, 1, 1, 3," in addition to "Tan, Tan, Tan, Tan, Tan, Tan, Taan", etc. Numbers such as “2, 2, 4” may be used.

FIG. 6 shows some examples of a reading practice game screen on which hand position information is written.

In each example of FIG. 6, the position where the hand position information is written is above the note, and is displayed independently from the input unit by the touch panel drawn below the note. When the hand position information is written together, the input position by the touch panel may be displayed on the screen, or may be displayed separately without being overlapped. In addition to the screen touch panel, the input means may be an electronic piano keyboard or a personal computer key. Further, even when there is no input unit using a touch panel, a keyboard reflecting the input content may be displayed on the screen. The keyboard displayed on the screen is preferably drawn so that the corresponding key is colored in conjunction with the note-on that is the input content, or the colored state of the corresponding key is released in conjunction with the note-off. To do. In addition, when overlapping the position information of the hand on the keyboard, a device such as a different color for each color so that the drawing color related to the position information of the hand and the color of the coloring process corresponding to the note on / off can be identified, It is easy for those skilled in the art to perform fade-in and fade-out drawing processing on the display of hand position information and make the previous display disappear and the new display appear every time a new question is made. It is assumed that.

FIG. 7 illustrates a basic procedure for screen transitions associated with game progress in a reading practice game that is one embodiment of the present invention.

In the music reading practice game, when the pitch of the sound input by the practitioner matches the pitch to be played, the bursting animation illustrated in FIG. 7A is placed on the display of the notes. Preferably, for example, an animation is performed so that what was initially a bright dark blue gradually becomes a light blue. When the input sound and the display sound match, the animation starts to be applied at the moment of input, and preferably the animation is changed so that the animation disappears with the passage of time. As a result, it is assumed that the screen display changes as exemplified in FIGS. 7B to 7D in accordance with the input of the practitioner. In addition to the illustrated example, various animations such as a different color by a color other than blue, an arrow stabbed, or a flower fluttering can be envisaged in this hit display animation. In any case, it is preferable that the volume or attenuation of the piano sound or the like output by the input is in harmony with the color density or size of the animation image to be applied to the note image, how the animation spreads, or the type of movement. Adjust to. However, such a device for drawing can be easily assumed by those skilled in the art.

In addition, the reading music practice game displays a correct answer when the input content is correct, and displays an incorrect answer when the input content is incorrect.
If it is evaluated that the displayed rhythm does not match the input rhythm for a certain rhythm pattern, for example, “again!” And “↓” are superimposed on the same content as the wrong one as shown in FIG. Etc. are displayed. In this case, “↓” is displayed at the top of the next note to be played, and moves with the input. Preferably, “again!” And “↓” are displayed in a conspicuous color such as red. The display of “again!” Serves to inform the practitioner that the input was incorrect. Also, the display of “↓” does not obscure the practitioner of how far he has played now or where he should play next, even when the same question is repeated if the practitioner makes a mistake. To play a role as a guide. Of course, different display modes having the same purpose as those of “again!” And “↓” are also included in the idea of the present invention. When correct input is made again by the practitioner, the display of “again!” And “↓” disappears.
When it is evaluated that the input rhythm matches the displayed rhythm, a page turning animation is performed. At this time, it is preferable to catch the speed of the input by the practitioner and adjust the speed of the animation in accordance with the speed so that the practice proceeds rhythmically. In other words, if the input is slow enough, you may make an animation such as turning the page relatively slowly, but if the input is fast, you should consider the timing of the next bar. Animate fast in a short time. After the page turning animation, etc., not only the content of the next question is displayed, but also the number of processing and the processing time are displayed as game results, or the level of difficulty is raised to the next difficulty level. The process may be branched according to the number of questions and the grades. By the way, there can be various variations in the page turning animation. For example, after the burst animation has passed quickly and continuously from the beginning to the end of the question content, the next question content appears, the next question content appears after the animation that slides as the page turns, etc. Variation of page turning animation is assumed. Various variations can be envisaged, but with the same or similar mechanism of action as described above so that the correct answer and the transition to the next screen are communicated to the practitioner and the practice proceeds sufficiently rhythmically. If the basic object of the present invention is achieved, it suffices as an element of the present invention.

In the case of a question content accompanied by a chord, since there is a chord, there are a plurality of pieces of timing information for one note number. For the evaluation with chords, there are methods that exclude input chords and evaluate input timing, as well as methods that use the timing at which the first input sound of the chords is input for evaluation. Is done. Alternatively, it may be calculated so as to average the input timings of each chord component, but preferably, the evaluation target is limited to one representative note as described here, and the expectation is significantly contrary to the sense of hearing. Try to prevent unforeseen evaluations from occurring.

As an example of linkage between linguistic expressions and animations that display atari (hit), in addition to a format that always displays all linguistic expressions related to the entire displayed question contents without being related to atari display, there is also a language for attrition display. It is assumed that a format in which a visual expression appears and disappears in conjunction with each other, a format in which a linguistic expression corresponding to the location is displayed only at a location where “↓” is displayed, and the like.

Examples of processes that change the difficulty level as the game progresses include: (1) Rhythm pattern consisting only of quarter notes and eighth notes → (2) Rhythm pattern including 16th notes → (3) Chords Rhythm pattern including → (4) Musical phrase pattern with pitch change → (5) Musical phrase pattern including chord → (6) Musical phrase pattern with both hands → (7) Both hands including position movement Patterns of musical phrases by playing → (8) Random contents such as a rhythm pattern created by using not only sound division but also sound integration, which can include sounds longer than quarter notes It is assumed that the level will improve. Preferably during the process, if the trainer goes wrong along the way, it doesn't advance to the next level, stays at the current level and continues to practice, or repeats if it is wrong. It is preferable that appropriate practice load control is performed in a timely manner so as to always fit the ability of the practitioner, such as performing a practice menu. For example, especially if the practitioner continues to fail in step (4) above, it may be due to the lack of practicing pitch literacy of the practitioner. It is preferable to have branching control such as switching to the practice used. Further, fine steps may be designed by combining the above processes (1) to (3) with linguistic expressions and hand position information. In other words, for example, (1-1) linguistic expressions are written → (1-2) linguistic expressions are not written, and the process is designed by placing a finer step or branch structure in the step (1). This can be assumed. In addition, practice of “patterns consisting of simple repeated strikes”, which is easier than (1), should be practiced before (1), or a pattern that only traces the sound of the scale (for example, Doremifasolaside) (4 ), Or as a branch from (5) or (6), a process design such as `` practice with chord assignment using a system for improving pitch literacy '' can be assumed. is there. Such a detailed step design and a branch design of the practice process in accordance with the ability of the practitioner have an aspect that functions meaningfully in order to achieve a smooth improvement of the practitioner. However, a mode in which a practice program consisting of steps that are always too fine can be a cause of redundant training. Depending on the proficiency level and mood of the practitioner, it may be preferable to start practicing from the middle of (1) to (8). Preferably, the steps and branches can be designed or set so that the practice is always fun and meaningful according to the opportunity and purpose.

As a result of actually trying the reading practice game system according to one aspect of the present invention, it is difficult to measure how quickly the grade improves with respect to the reading of the rhythm score. Obtained. At first, it was almost the same as learning an unknown kanji and reading it aloud. In other words, it is the sense of playing the keyboard as if reading a sixteenth note as “ta” and reading an eighth note as “tan”. In addition, as we repeatedly practice while receiving an evaluation of whether the input content is correct or not, we will gradually be able to capture the written phrases in a more musical sense, not just as a way of reading. The sensory change that accompanies the practice continues. According to the present invention, it can be said that it is possible to confirm that the reading ability of a rhythm score has been acquired and acquired, and to further improve the reading ability by expanding it.

The present invention contributes to the spread of reading skills by providing excellent techniques related to literacy learning of rhythm scores.
