Description

Japanese nursery rhyme is a string instrument for easy to play.

Many tuning methods for stringed instruments such as guitars so far have the same interval between adjacent strings. For example, the tuning of a guitar is from 6 strings to Mi La Les So Si Mi, and the interval between strings is 5 degrees except between 3 strings and 2 strings. The tuning of the violin is similar, and the interval between each string is 5 degrees. A stringed instrument tuned in this way is very advantageous for playing a variety of songs, but you must remember the scale form and fingering used for each song. Performers such as guitars can perform, compose and improvise various songs by learning so many scales. In other words, toddlers and the elderly who have difficulty learning the scales have difficulty playing guitar and other stringed instruments.

on the other hand. Many Japanese nursery rhymes are made of five-tone scales, which are so-called Jonah-free scales, which are four major and seven degrees removed from seven major scale sounds. If the key is C, the scale is composed of five sounds: de les mi so so la. If the songs to be played are limited to Japanese nursery rhymes, many songs can be played with only these five sounds. A stringed instrument can produce a sound without pressing the string with a finger, and it is said that the sound is released, but if you tune this open sound with the previous Jonah scale, De Re Mi Sora, It becomes possible to play many Japanese nursery rhymes without holding the strings with your fingers.

Stringed instruments such as guitars need to remember the place corresponding to the sound in order to produce sound and press the string, and are difficult to play, so infants, elderly people, or people with disabilities are trying to learn newly It may be difficult to learn. However, if a song can be played without pressing the strings with fingers, it is not difficult to learn even for infants, the elderly, and people with disabilities. In particular, Japanese nursery rhymes can be said to be musically in common between infants and the elderly. This facility can be used for musical activities and emotional stability.

The nursery rhyme string instrument has only five sounds and does not need to hold down the strings, so the score can be expressed in a simple way. If you understand even the melody of the song, you can perform enough just by writing on the lyrics so that you know which string to play. If you have a score that includes the lyrics and the strings you play, even a performer who has difficulty reading the existing staff can play easily.

The problem to be solved is that existing stringed instruments are difficult to play for infants and the elderly, those who are difficult to practice, those whose body movement is restricted, or those who have disabilities in their hands.

The string instrument for exclusive use of the present invention, nursery rhymes, tunes 6 strings to de les mi so la de, so that a melody can be created with a pitch of less than 1 octave without pressing the strings with your fingers. The feature is that you can play the music . If you want to produce a sound one octave higher than the tuned sound, you can use the octave fret (15 in Fig. 1) at the center of the string to produce a sound one octave above the tuned sound. I can do it. In that case, the pressed position (9 in FIG. 1) at the time of sounding one octave provided on the finger plate between the second fret (14 in FIG. 1) and the octave fret is pressed. The string-pressing position at the time of sounding one octave is provided at a position lower than the height of each fret, like a fingerboard of a normal stringed instrument with frets. On top of that, since the position of the string to be pressed when an octave is emitted is wide, anyone can easily press the string without using the wrong place or performing complicated pressing, such as a guitar with more than 20 frets. It is possible to change the pitch.

There are more than 80 music pieces that can be played only with the scale without Jonah using a stringed musical instrument dedicated to nursery rhymes, which is sufficient as the number of repertoires for infants and the elderly. In addition, some Japanese nursery rhymes have sounds other than the Jonah scale, for example, songs with a key of C that contain fa and shi sounds. When playing such a piece of music, the first and second frets are used and the string is held only at one point. Depending on how many sounds other than the Jonah scale come out, it is possible to divide the music according to the level, and the player is motivated to set a goal according to his performance technique and challenge a new song. .

A simple chord can be played by attaching the first and second frets to the nursery rhyme stringed instrument. Thereby, depending on the level of the performer, an accompaniment with chords can be acquired, so that it is possible to perform an ensemble between nursery rhymes string instruments. If an ensemble of chords and melodies is possible, the musicians will have more fun and willingness to improve their performance skills. Also, spread the field of use in infant facilities and elderly facilities and handicapped facilities, etc., also play that quite possible and Do in such recital.

Even young children, the elderly, and people with disabilities can easily play Japanese nursery rhymes. By playing and singing together, infants and the elderly can convey Japanese nursery rhymes to the next generation, as well as emotional education for the infants and a worthwhile life for the elderly.

FIG. 1 is a diagram of a stringed instrument body dedicated to nursery rhymes.

A nursery rhyme string instrument is basically the same structure as a guitar. It is desirable that the body shape is small so that it can be easily held by infants and the elderly, and that the neck is wide and thick so that there is no mistake in playing the strings. Therefore, the material used for the body can be the same material as the existing guitar, and the amount of material is not so much. In addition, as for the bridge part including the head part, neck, and saddle with pegs, it is possible to divert existing classic guitars. As for strings, the string instrument for nursery rhymes has a short string length (scale), so it is possible to stretch two strings with one existing classical guitar string. Regarding the body shape, various shapes other than the round shape as shown in FIG. 1 can be considered depending on the physique and preference of the performer. The name of each string is the same as that of the existing guitar, and the string that produces the lowest sound is the 6th string, and the 5th, 4th, 3rd, 2nd, and 1st strings as the sound increases. By calling the same string as an existing guitar, for example, when learning a nursery rhyme dedicated string instrument and becoming interested in learning an existing guitar, it is possible to make a transition without resistance.

The score for the nursery rhyme string instrument is for playing the melody of the song. It is desirable that only the lyrics, the strings to be played, and the fingers to be played are expressed so that even those who cannot read the staff can be easily interpreted and played.

Tune each string of the nursery rhyme string instrument in order from the lowest pitch (6th string) to de les mi so so la de. In this case, it is possible to tune with reference to a piano or the like, but using an electronic tuner is easier and more reliable. From the score, select a song that knows the melody of the song, and play the strings of the instrument body with your finger or pick, referring to the numbers corresponding to the strings written on the lyrics. If the musical score has a note that is one octave higher, press the pressed position when the octave sound is output in FIG. 1, and play the corresponding string with your finger or pick. When a sound other than the scale without Jonah appears in the song, you play the corresponding fret. For example, the sound of fa can be produced by holding the first fret of a four string and playing the fourth string, and the sound of shi can be produced by pushing the second fret of the second string and playing the second string. The chord can also be played by playing two to three sounds corresponding to each chord.

The present invention, which can be easily played by infants, the elderly, and disabled children, makes it possible for those who have been difficult to play stringed instruments and other musical instruments to fully experience the pleasure of playing musical instruments. . As a result, important things as human beings such as emotional stability, awareness of purpose, enjoyment and purpose of life can be obtained, which is also useful for mental care. In addition, it will be possible to convey to children the next generation the nursery rhymes that Japanese people have nurtured over the years. This is considered to be more effective when a performance with an accurate pitch is added than when only singing and telling a song. Since the basic structure of the present invention and the dedicated string instrument for nursery rhymes is the same as that of an existing guitar, it can be used, for example, as a musical instrument in a practice stage before an infant learns an existing guitar. Until now, learning guitar has been very difficult for toddlers, and both the performers and instructors have been limited. However, the string instruments for nursery rhymes are so easy to play that anyone can play them. It is very easy to teach. For this reason, even young children can play as a practice instrument before learning an existing guitar.
