Embodiments of the musical note learning material and musical note learning system of the present invention will be described below based on examples.
(Example 1)

FIG. 1 shows a musical note learning card 1 which is an example of the musical note learning material of the present invention. The musical note learning card 1 of this embodiment 1 has a rectangular shape with rounded corners, and has a musical note display 3 consisting of a musical note 7 corresponding to one of the seven musical scales, a clef 6, and a staff notation 5 on one side. The card is made by laminating a printed rectangular piece of paper 2 with a transparent laminate film F having a size one size larger than the paper piece 2. Note that the lamination process is performed to prevent stains caused by touching the card and to improve the handling of the card, but the present invention is not limited to this, and may vary depending on the material of the paper used. Depending on the case, lamination may not be performed.

Near one corner of the piece of paper 2, which is the same surface on which the musical note display 3 is printed, and which is the upper position of the musical note display 3, there is an Internet A two-dimensional information symbol (two-dimensional barcode) 4 in which one URL out of a plurality of URLs is symbolized is printed.

In addition, although FIG. 1 shows an example in which the clef is a treble clef and the notes of the scale of "G" are written, these note learning cards 1 are, for example, a treble clef. A set of 12 cards may be made up of 12 cards printed with musical note names (scales) corresponding to each of the 12 notes (scale) from "C" to "G", or if the clef is the bass clef or The set may include cards with a larger number of cards, including cards on which note representations of lower pitch notes are printed, and the number of note learning cards 1 included in these note learning materials may vary depending on the age of the learner and It may be determined as appropriate depending on the progress of learning.

In addition, in the first embodiment, only one two-dimensional information symbol 4 is printed at the upper position of the musical note display 3, which is on the opposite side of the musical note display 3 from the user, as shown in FIG. Although the present invention is not limited to this, the two-dimensional information symbols 4 do not obstruct the visual recognition of the musical note display 3, and the printing positions of these two-dimensional information symbols 4 are shown as examples. may be placed below the musical note display 3 on the user's side, or moreover, there may be a plurality of musical notes displayed at both the upper and lower parts of the musical note display 3 instead of just one.

Next, FIG. 2 shows the configuration of a note learning system in which the note learning cards 1 of the first embodiment are used. As shown in FIG. 2, the musical note learning system of the first embodiment includes a microphone (not shown) and a speaker (not shown) that serve as sound input/output means for making a phone call, and also includes a musical note learning card 1. The smartphone 100 is a mobile phone terminal that can read the two-dimensional information symbol 4 and can access the server computer 120 via the Internet network 110, and the server computer 120 is communicatively connected to the Internet network 110. Ru.

The smartphone 100 is a commercially available device having a large display section 101 and a camera 102, and is equipped with a reading application program (hereinafter simply referred to as a reading application) for giving the smartphone 100 the ability to read two-dimensional information symbols 4. Any reading application may be used as long as it has the 2D information symbol 4 installed, and any known 2D reading application may be used as long as it is capable of decoding (converting) the URL encoded in the two-dimensional information symbol 4 and accessing the decoded URL. A dimensional barcode reader application program can be used. Note that it is preferable that these smartphones 100 have not only a call speaker for making calls, but also an external speaker for providing a hands-free function that allows the output sound to be heard even when the smartphone 100 is removed from the ear.

Further, the server computer 120 is a known web server that is assigned a plurality of URLs (URL1, URL2, URL3...) that are Internet addresses assigned in advance to each of a plurality of web pages that the server computer 120 can distribute. , as will be described later, the note name and performance sound of the scale corresponding to each note are registered so as to be playable in association with each of these multiple URLs (URL1, URL2, URL3...). .

Here, the flow of using the musical note learning system of the present invention will be explained using FIG. 3. First, as shown in FIG. 3(a), the musical notes displayed on the musical note learning card 1 are The voice and performance sound of the note name corresponding to the display are registered in the server computer 120. Note that the user of the note learning card 1 can also register the sounds of these note names and the performance sounds, but in order to avoid mistakes in the registered sounds etc., note learning cards 1 are not sold or sold. It is preferable that the lending business etc. carry out the execution.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, a reading application is started on the smartphone 100, a two-dimensional barcode is read, it is converted into a URL, and the converted URL is accessed.

In response to the access to the URL, the server computer 120 distributes a voice registration Web page (not shown) based on the fact that the voice of the note name and the performance sound are not registered in association with the URL. Note that this audio registration web page includes a start menu section for instructing the start of recording (registration) of the sound of the note name, performance sound, and an end menu section for instructing the end of recording (registration). and a task bar display section showing the remaining time available for recording (registration).

The voice registration web page distributed from the server computer 120 is displayed on the display unit 101 of the smartphone 100. Then, on the displayed audio registration Web page, the user selects the start menu section and starts recording (registering) the audio of the note name and the performance sound. Specifically, for example, in the case of the musical note learning card 1 shown in FIG. 1, the user presses the "G" key on the piano corresponding to the note display at predetermined intervals to hear the performance sound of the "G" note. After recording (registering) through the microphone of the smartphone 100, say "The pitch name is G" to record (register) the sound of the pitch name, and then select the exit menu section to start recording (registration). finish. In Example 1, the performance sound is the sound of a piano, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, if the teaching material is used in a violin class, the performance sound of a violin may be used. It may be a sound, or if the teaching material is used in a flute class, it may be the sound of a flute playing.

In the above example, the performance sound comes before the sound of the note name, but it goes without saying that the order may be reversed. In addition, in this first embodiment, the performance sound made by pressing the "G" key on the piano at a predetermined interval is also recorded (registered). Being able to check the performance sounds is also preferable because it allows for pitch learning, especially training for absolute pitch, which is more likely to be acquired through training in young children, at the same time, but the present invention is limited to this. Instead, the performance sounds of these note names may not be recorded (registered).

In response to the selection of the end menu section, the server computer 120 registers (stores) the sound data transmitted from the smartphone 100 between the time of selection of the start menu section and the time of selection of the end menu section in association with the URL. ), the access source smartphone 100 is then sent a reply (notification) of registration completion. The operator of the smartphone 100 can confirm that the sound of the note name and the performance sound have been registered in the server computer 120 without any problem by receiving a reply (notification) indicating that the registration has been completed. When making these recordings (registrations), for example, a "test playback" menu section is provided on the audio registration web page so that you can check the temporarily recorded audio of the note name and performance sound before registering. Then, the temporarily recorded sound of the note name and the performance sound, which have been previously confirmed and approved, may be registered (main registration) in association with the URL.

In this way, in a state where the sound of the note name and the performance sound have already been registered, the user who is learning musical notes visually recognizes the musical note learning card 1 and identifies the musical notes written on the surface of the musical note learning card 1. Answer which note name is displayed in Display 3. Then, to check whether the answer is correct or not, the two-dimensional information symbol 4 on the musical note learning card 1 is read by holding the smartphone 100 with the reading application activated over the musical note learning card 1 (see FIG. 2).

By reading the two-dimensional information symbol 4 in this manner, the smartphone 100 converts the read two-dimensional information symbol 4 into a URL and accesses the converted URL, as shown in FIG. 3(b).

The server computer 120 distributes an audio reproduction Web page (not shown) in response to access to the URL. Then, when the smartphone 100 side selects the "playback" menu section provided on the distributed audio playback web page, a playback instruction is sent from the smartphone 100 side to the server computer 120. By transmitting the playback data of the sound of the note name and the performance sound that are registered in association with the URL in the server computer 120 to the smartphone 100 side, for example, from the external speaker of the smartphone 100, the reproduction data that has been registered in advance is transmitted to the smartphone 100 side. For example, by outputting the piano note "G" (repeated) and the sound of the note name "The note name is G" from an external speaker, the learner can confirm whether or not his or her answer was correct. You can check it by ear.

In addition, in FIG. 3(b), the "playback" menu section is selected on the audio playback web page, but the present invention is not limited to this. By setting automatic playback in advance, the sound of the note name and the performance sound can be played automatically without having to select the "Play" menu section. For example, the learner can confirm the note name and performance sound by ear without moving his or her viewpoint from the note notation on the note learning card 1, thereby significantly improving the learning effect.

Furthermore, in the first embodiment, as described above, the pitch name information is output as sound information, which is the sound of the pitch name, so that the learner can confirm the correct pitch name with his or her ears. The present invention is not limited to this, but for example, as shown in FIG. may convert the information on the pitch name and display it on the display unit 101 as, for example, "so" or "so". In this case, the pitch name information is text information, and the learner can confirm the correct answer. It is in a format that allows you to visually confirm the note names. In this case, when encoding only the display information of simple "so" and "so", a one-dimensional information symbol (barcode) may be used instead of the two-dimensional information symbol 4. .

Further, in the first embodiment, a configuration is illustrated in which a two-dimensional information symbol 4 is used as the note name information reading section, and by doing so, the note learning card 1 can be manufactured at low cost. In other words, as the pitch name information reading section, for example, it is possible to use a non-contact IC tag that readably stores URLs and pitch name information. However, there is a risk that the production cost of the musical note learning cards 1 will increase and reading errors will easily occur due to the overlapping condition, whereas the use of two-dimensional information symbols 4 , such problems can be solved. However, the present invention is not limited to the two-dimensional information symbol 4, and if there is no cost problem, a non-contact IC tag may be used. Any reading method may be used as long as it can be read by an information terminal capable of outputting note name information.

In addition, instead of the above-mentioned non-contact IC tag, it is also possible to add an ultra-thin message IC recorder or the like that can reproduce and output messages to the musical note learning card 1, but in this case, the musical note learning card 1 may be further Not only does the manufacturing cost rise significantly, but the battery becomes unusable due to exhaustion, so there is a limit to the use of the musical note learning card 1, and the musical note learning card 1 is not used repeatedly for training. is not suitable.

Furthermore, although the first embodiment exemplifies an embodiment in which a smartphone 100, which is a mobile phone terminal with a high penetration rate, is used as an information terminal, the present invention is not limited to this, and these information terminals For example, it may be a known tablet terminal, barcode reader terminal, etc., as long as it has a reading function of a pitch name information reading section and an output function that can output pitch name information by sound or display. terminals can also be used.

In the first embodiment, the number of notes displayed in the note display 3 is 1, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the chords may be made up of three chords such as "C", "Mi", and "G", and the present invention can be used to practice understanding the combination of note names of these chords and to practice listening, thereby achieving a high learning effect. Obtainable.
