  In the piano practice tool of Patent Document 1, a hand is passed through a wire-like wearing tool and the holding tool is gripped, but only the shape of the hand in the state of holding the holding tool can be recognized. When performing while looking at the notes in a piano lesson, even if the attention to the hands and fingers is distracted and the power of the hands changes, the piano teacher cannot read the changes. Proper guidance cannot be given to young children.

  The same applies to the case of using the piano practice tool of Patent Document 2 in which a plurality of positioning bars are provided at the same interval as the width of the piano keyboard on a dome-shaped table. Even if there is a change in adjustment, it cannot be read. Even when using the arch-shaped keyboard instrument training aid of Patent Document 3, the trainee can only select and use the size of his / her palm and the dent suitable for his finger combination. The piano teacher cannot call attention by judging how the hand or finger strength changes with time.

  Although the piano practice tool of patent document 4 is used in order to correct the shape of a hand, a finger, and a wrist like the patent documents 1-3, it cannot judge the force applied to a finger or a hand. In addition, for infants and young children, it is inevitable that playing the keyboard away from the piano will not be interesting just by hitting the keyboard while watching the sheet music according to the guidance of the piano teacher. This becomes conspicuous with the passage of practice time, and it is difficult to obtain results of practice. This problem can be said to be common to Patent Documents 1 to 4, and all of the practice tools are made considering only functional aspects, and are not intended to attract children's interests. Therefore, it only has a function as a practice tool, and it is difficult to obtain sufficient results of practice.

  Therefore, in view of the problems of the prior art, the present invention can read the change when the power of the hand is changed, and can provide appropriate piano guidance by adapting to the taste of infants and young children. It aims to provide a piano practice tool that can be performed.

In order to achieve the above objective, the following technical measures were taken. That is, the present invention relates to a grip member configured such that a plurality of rod-like flexible members whose longitudinal directions can be elastically deformed by a hand grip force are gathered in a roll shape by a flexible sheet member. The grip member is a piano practice tool characterized in that the state can be changed between a compressed state and an open state by the strength of the force transmitted from the hand when playing the piano.

  According to the piano practice tool of the present invention, it is possible to hold a plurality of flexible members by wrapping them in a roll shape with a sheet member, and in a compressed state and an open state by the strength of the force transmitted from the hand when playing the piano Since the trainees practice while holding the piano practice tool, the piano teacher can judge the power of the hand by looking at the piano practice tool. It is possible to incorporate a play of wrapping a plurality of flexible members into a roll shape with a sheet member for practicing the piano, which is suitable for infants and young children. As a result, the piano teacher can perform appropriate piano instruction for infants and young children.

  A sounding member that emits a striking sound when it is struck, and a striking member for striking the sounding member, and feels rhythm by the sound generated by striking the sounding member with the striking member so as to engrave the rhythm when playing the piano. It is preferable to further include a rhythm training member that nourishes. The rhythm when playing the piano can be confirmed by sound, and more appropriate piano guidance is possible.

  It is preferable to further include a reading sheet on which a pattern reminiscent of the scale of the piano is drawn by the child. By letting children play while reading the sheet, they can practice with visual information.

  The plurality of rod-shaped flexible members may have different colors or different patterns. In this case, it becomes more suitable for infants and young children.

The sheet member without fastening the end of the sheet member when being formed in a square shape, and wrapped the flexible member of the plurality of rod-shaped into a roll, is formed of a material capable of holding the rolled state It may be. In this case, the piano practice tool can be created and disassembled only by the rounding and opening operations, and the ease of handling of infants and young children can be greatly improved.

  The plurality of rod-like flexible members may have different circumferential lengths or lengths. In this case, various types of piano practice tools can be configured.

The rhythm training member 3 can cultivate a sense of rhythm by the sound generated by striking the sound generation member 7 with the striking member 8 so as to engrave the rhythm when playing the piano.

  The reading sheet 4 of this embodiment shown in FIG. 3 is formed by sandwiching paper on which a pattern such as a musical note or an animal is drawn with a laminate sheet. By showing this reading sheet 4 to infants and young children, it is possible to practice the piano while reminiscent of the scale of the piano.

  FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram for explaining how to make the grip member 2, and FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the increase / decrease of the flexible member 5 of the grip member 2. In the present embodiment, each of the rod-like flexible members 5 constituting the grip member 2 is formed of a thick square felt cloth. The felt fabric has a thickness and a felt property that are not easily returned to the original state when it is rolled up. The thickness of the felt fabric is about 1 mm to 10 mm, and the size is about 200 mm × 200 mm. The type, thickness and size of the felt fabric are not limited. As shown in FIG. 4, each flexible member 5 is obtained by winding the felt cloth about 3 to 5 times, and each flexible member 5 can be elastically deformed by a hand gripping force. The plurality of flexible members of the present embodiment is composed of five flexible members 5. The plurality of rod-shaped flexible members 5 have different colors or different patterns, and when configured with five flexible members 5, for example, red, yellow, green, brown, black flexible members 5 and do it. For example, an adhesive may be applied to the end portion of the felt fabric, and the end portion may be retained in a state where the end portion is wound by the adhesive force of the adhesive so that the felt fabric does not return.

  The flexible sheet member 6 constituting the grip member 2 is formed in a square shape with a double structure of the outer sheet 10 and the inner sheet 11. The outer sheet 10 of the present embodiment uses the same felt fabric as that constituting each of the rod-like flexible members 5. The inner sheet 11 is made of a felt fabric that is coarser than the outer sheet 10. In this embodiment, the color of the outer sheet 10 is black, and the color of the inner sheet 11 is white. Any felt fabric used here has a thickness and a felt property that does not naturally return to the original when rolled up. The thickness of the outer sheet 10 is about 1 mm to 10 mm, and the size is about 200 mm × 400 mm. The thickness of the inner sheet 11 is about 5 mm to 20 mm, and the size is about 200 mm × 400 mm. The type, thickness and size of the felt fabric are not limited. When the sheet member 6 is made of such a felt cloth material, when the plurality of flexible members 5 are gathered into a roll shape, the roll form is substantially maintained without fastening the end of the sheet member 6. be able to.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the plurality of flexible members 5 obtained are placed on the sheet member 6 with the longitudinal direction aligned, and the plurality of flexible members 5 are collectively wrapped in a roll shape with the sheet member 6. The grip member 2 can be obtained. The size of the grip member 2 can be changed by increasing / decreasing the flexible member 5. When it is desired to reduce the diameter of the gripping member 2, for example, two of the five flexible members 5 are removed as shown in FIG. Thus, the grip member 2 having a small diameter may be obtained. When it is desired to increase the diameter of the grip member 2, on the contrary, for example, another flexible member is added to the five flexible members 5 and wrapped with the sheet member 6 to obtain a grip member having a larger diameter. Just do it.

  A gripping member 2 obtained by wrapping a plurality of flexible members 5 with a sheet member 6 can substantially hold a wrapped state or a shape close thereto. The grip member 2 obtained in this way can be gripped by the hand of an infant and a young child, and can be changed between a compressed state and an open state by the strength of the force transmitted from the hand when playing the piano. It has become. That is, when the grip member 2 is gripped with a constant force by hand, the state of the roll is maintained as it is, and when the force is released, the roll is slightly released by the repulsive force of the inner sheet 11 in particular, and is slightly opened. Become. As a result, the piano teacher can determine whether the trainee's hand is power-adjusted.

  The outer sheet 10 of the sheet member 6 is black to resemble laver, the inner sheet 11 is white to resemble white rice, and the plurality of flexible members 5 wrapped with the sheet member 6 are resembling ingredients such as eggs, camphor, and pepper For example, the grip member 2 is in the form of sushi. For infants and young children, when playing the piano, it is possible to incorporate the play of sushi by rolling the ingredients with white rice and seaweed, which is suitable for infants and young children.

  FIG. 6 is an explanatory view showing a state in which the piano practice tool 1 is used to practice the piano. Trainees such as infants and young children practice taking the rhythm by grasping the grip member 2 with the left hand and hitting the sounding member 7 with the striking member 8 of the rhythm training member 3 with the right hand while watching the notes on the reading sheet 4, for example. I do. When the trainee takes a rhythm while looking at the reading sheet 4, the attention to the left hand is reduced, and the force applied to the grip member 2 is reduced or increased. The piano teacher looks at the change of the grip member 2 and judges whether the trainee's left hand is strong or weak. The piano teacher can grasp that the force is excessive when the grip member 2 is in the compressed state, and can grasp that the force is lost when the grip member 2 is in the open state. Based on this, the piano teacher can give more appropriate guidance to the trainee.

  The grip member 2 shown in FIG. 1 can be used by cutting with scissors or the like. What is necessary is just to cut the several flexible member 5 of a rod shape in the state wrapped with the sheet member 6, and to make it the short grip member 13 like Fig.7 (a). For example, if it is cut into the size of a child's hand, it becomes easier for the child to grip the grip member 13, and the force can be more accurately reflected in the compressed state and the released state of the grip member. The grip member 2 can be used in various ways when practicing how to apply power for playing the piano. For example, it is possible to first grasp the grip member 2 with one hand ten times and then grasp the grip member 2 with the other hand ten times in the same manner as the other. The practice method combining the grip member 2, the rhythm training member 3 and the reading sheet 4 is not limited, and the grip member 2 may be used alone.

  The grip member 2 of the piano practice tool 1 according to the present embodiment can be gripped by wrapping a plurality of flexible members 5 in a roll shape with the sheet member 6, and the strength of the force transmitted from the hand when playing the piano. Since the state can be changed between the compressed state and the released state, for example, when the trainee performs the practice while holding the grip member 2 (piano practice tool 1), the piano teacher looks at the grip member 2. It is possible to judge the strength of the hand. It is possible to incorporate a play of wrapping a plurality of flexible members 5 into a roll shape with the sheet member 6 for practicing the piano, which is suitable for infants and young children. As a result, the piano teacher can perform appropriate piano instruction for infants and young children.

  A sounding member 7 that emits a striking sound when it is struck, and a striking member 8 for striking the sounding member 7, and by a sound generated by striking the sounding member 7 with the striking member 8 so as to engrave the rhythm when playing the piano By further including the rhythm training member 3 for cultivating a sense of rhythm, the rhythm when playing the piano can be confirmed by sound, and more appropriate piano guidance is possible.

  By further providing a reading sheet on which a pattern reminiscent of the scale of the piano is drawn when the child sees it, it is possible to have the child perform the performance while viewing the reading sheet and to practice with visual information.

  The sheet member 6 is formed in a rectangular shape, and is a material that can maintain a rolled state or a state close thereto without fastening the end of the sheet member 6 when the plurality of flexible members 5 are wrapped in a roll shape. Since it is formed, it is possible to create and disassemble the grip member 2 only by a rounding operation and an opening operation, and the ease of handling of infants and young children can be greatly improved.

As shown in FIG.7 (b), it is good also as the grip member 16 in which the one part short flexible member 15 was provided in both ends among the some flexible members, and the center part was depressed. As shown in FIG. 7C, a short flexible member 18 of a plurality of flexible members may be provided in the center to form a gripping member 19 having a central portion swelled. The plurality of rod-like flexible members may have different circumferential lengths or lengths, and thereby various types of piano practice tools can be configured. As shown in FIG. 7D, the plurality of flexible members 20 may be rectangular or triangular.

  If it is possible to change the compression state and release state due to the strength of the force transmitted from the hand when playing the piano, for example, the material of the seat member constituting the grip member can be changed to be made of synthetic leather, the child's preference It is also possible to improve the design by applying a pattern suitable for the above. The flexible member may be made of a resin member such as a rod-like sponge instead of the felt cloth. The plurality of flexible members may be configured by combining different materials. For example, two of the five flexible members are made of felt fabric, and the other three are made of sponge. Thereby, the feel of the grip member when grasped with a hand can be changed.

  A ribbon member 22 shown in FIG. 8 may be further added to a piano practice set that is a piano practice tool. The ribbon member 22 has a ring-shaped fastener 24 attached to the tip of a rod member 23 having a required length. Further, two ring members 25 are connected to the fastener 24, and A ribbon 26 is attached. The configuration of the ribbon member 22 is not limited to the form shown in FIG. 8, and the ribbon member 22 only needs to be able to fly by holding and shaking the rod-like member.
