First, the case where the “song to be played” on the start screen 103 of FIG. 5 is selected will be described. When the "song to be played" box is clicked, the box titled "genre of the song to be played:" in FIG. 6 is displayed on the tablet screen 9. In the box, there are seven selection boxes of "Enka", "Folk", "Nursery rhyme", "46 series", "Johnny's type", "Pop type" and "Return".

A case where the “nursery rhyme” box is clicked from the seven selection boxes of FIG. 6 will be described as an example.
When the "nursery rhyme" box is clicked, the box titled "nursery rhyme:" in FIG. 7 is displayed on the tablet screen 9. There are eight selection boxes in the box: "Furusato", "Haruyo Koi", "Spring Stream", "Tulip", "Mt. Fuji", "Snow", "Next" and "Back".

If, for example, the "Furusato" box is selected from the eight selection boxes of FIG. 7, the application 8 accesses the music database 105 of FIG. 4, searches the music database for performance necessary data related to the music "Furusato", and plays. The required data is displayed on the tablet screen 9 as shown in FIG. 8 in a form configured by the performance required data display program 108 of FIG.

An example of the above-described embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. The score of the nursery rhyme "Furusato" is displayed on the left half of the tablet screen of FIG. About half of the right side shows a picture of the keyboard that should be pressed to play the notes of the score on the left side.

For users who cannot read the score, for example, one keyboard picture to the next can be played so that the user can play the nursery rhyme "Furusato" to the end by pressing the keyboard displayed on the right side of the tablet screen in Fig. 8. The time of about 5 seconds before moving to the picture is set in advance in the application 8. Alternatively, the application 8 may be provided with a configuration in which the user can change the time according to his / her mastery of keystroke. When the user clicks "start playing" in FIG. 8, the keyboard picture changes sequentially as the set time elapses. By adding a function such as emphasizing the notes on the left side of the screen, it may be linked to the keystrokes on the right side of the screen so that you can see which part of the score you are playing.

If the user can read the score and is proficient in keystrokes, the user does not need a keyboard picture in the first place, and after clicking "Start playing" in Fig. 8, only sees the score on the left side of the tablet screen. To play.

The above description of FIG. 8 corresponds to the “display of required performance data (FIG. 8)” of FIG. According to the display, the user "plays with exhaled breath" (Fig. 4). Specifically, the user strikes and plays the keyboard 1-1 of FIG. 1 while blowing exhaled air from the blow port 2-1 of FIG.

Data processing is performed by the control unit 7 of FIG. 2 after the step of “user breathing in and playing” of FIG. The processing performed by the control unit 7 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1, 2, 3, and 4.

The gas flow rate sensor 3 of FIG. 1 senses the exhaled air from the air inlet 2-1 of the performance pipe 2. The gas flow rate sensor 3 is connected to the detection circuit 6 of FIG. 2 built in the musical instrument main body 1.

FIG. 14 shows an example of the screen displayed on the tablet screen when the “Furusato” box is clicked.

On the tablet screen 9 of FIG. 14, a bar graph entitled “June 2019“ Hometown ”expired breath measured value” is displayed. The horizontal axis represents the performance date, and the vertical axis represents the expiratory volume. For example, it means that the exhaled volume of playing "Furusato" on June 1, 2019 is 15L (liter).

FIG. 15 shows the screen of FIG. 14 with "standard expiratory volume: 15 liters" added. The standard expiratory volume means the standard expiratory volume required to play the music. If the amount of exhalation during the performance is less than the standard amount of exhalation, it is a tentative guideline that the volume will be easier to hear if the performance is performed with a larger amount of exhalation. The user can know from the bar graph whether the exhalation amount for each performance day is above or below the standard exhalation amount for the line corresponding to the "standard exhalation amount: 15 liters" in FIG.

A comment may be added to the tablet screen 9 of FIG. 15 as shown in FIG. June 2, 2019, June 5, and June 15, 2019 in FIG. 16 did not reach the standard expiratory volume. Therefore, encourage users to exhale more when playing "Furusato" with the comment "There are days when the standard exhalation volume has not been reached. Let's do our best so that we can always reach it!". That is, it encourages the user to strengthen the lung function.

FIG. 17 is an example of a comment when the standard expiratory volume is reached. A bar graph is shown on the left side of FIG. 17 as in FIG. 16, which exceeds the standard expiratory volume of 15 liters on all eight performance days from July 1, 2019 to July 18, 2019. Therefore, the comment "Always reach the standard exhalation volume! Let's challenge other songs!" Is displayed in the comment column on the right. Following the comment, we recommend "Haruyo Koi (17 liters)" and "Tulip (18 liters)" as "challenge candidate songs" so that users can challenge the performance of songs that require a larger amount of exhalation. prompt. That is, it encourages the user to strengthen the lung function.

The requirement to display the so-called unachieved comment in FIG. 16 and the requirement to display the so-called achievement comment in FIG. 17, for example, the requirement to display the achievement comment when the expiratory volume has achieved the standard expiratory volume over the entire performance day.
