Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to an accompaniment videotape or laser disc used for learning to play or performing a melody instrument such as a flute, violin, oboe, or trumpet. (hereinafter referred to as accompaniment videotape, etc.) Concerning solo instrumental music methods.

[Prior Art] For those who are learning melodic instruments, regardless of whether or not they belong to a band, orchestra, etc. that is the place of their activities,
There is a very strong desire to practice or perform one's favorite pieces (from large pieces to small pieces) with full-fledged accompaniment.

By the way, karaoke for singing is currently in full swing, and the demand and types of karaoke are growing at an unprecedented rate, but there are still records on the market for karaoke for solo instrumental music, including classical music. (commonly known as Minus One) - just by showing the product,
There are no accompaniment video tapes, etc.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The reasons why audio tapes for solo instrumental music have not become widespread are thought to be largely attributable to the following two reasons.

One is that the market is narrow. In other words, there are only a limited number of people who play instrumental music, which is a very small number compared to the number of karaoke singers, and the production costs are high and it seems difficult to make a profit, so it is difficult to produce and sell. involves huge risks.

The second problem is the difficulty of playing. In other words, it was the clumsiness of adjusting the tempo. The patterns of solo instrumental music vary greatly, and the tempo changes can be dramatic. For example, if a song starts with an intro accompaniment, it may start at the same time as the accompaniment, or the solo player may play the first phrase, and with conventional records and music tapes, there are songs that can be played automatically. It will be limited. Especially if there is an unaccompanied solo part of a solo instrument in the middle, it is almost impossible to perform that part.

When it comes to karaoke music tapes for singing, there is a prelude followed by a singing song, and in the case of singing, there are relatively few deviations from the accompaniment due to slow start timing and tempo deviations during singing. This can be easily adjusted, but this is not the case when playing instrumental music. Even in such karaoke singing, it is often the case that the starting timing is missed and the song is stranded and restarting from the beginning, but in the case of instrumental solos, the starting timing is even more wrong, and the performance tempo with the accompaniment is even more fatal.

In this respect, the present invention aims to provide an effective and suitable method for playing an instrumental solo using an accompaniment such as a videotape to solve the difficulty of playing an instrumental solo relying only on the auditory sense due to the accompaniment played back from a conventional record or music tape. It is something.

[T! Means for Solving Problem i] The solution to the above problem is that the instrumental solo method using the accompaniment videotape of the present invention can improve the performance of orchestra players and conductors who play and conduct various accompaniment pieces. An accompaniment videotape or the like on which sounds and images have been recorded in advance is set in an audio/image playback device, and the image playback signal is projected on a display screen, and the sound playback signal is emitted through a speaker, allowing the instrumental soloist to hear the audiovisual sound. By adopting the method and means described above, the solo performance can be achieved by adjusting the timing of the start of the performance and the tempo of the ensemble while enjoying a sense of realism.

[Function] Since the present invention employs the method and means described above, it is possible to perform instrumental music that relies only on the auditory sense as in the past in order to match background music such as accompaniment performance when playing classical music that requires precision and advanced technique. The solo method was a complete failure, but it becomes possible only by incorporating the visual sense and doing it in an audio-visual manner. In other words, throughout the entire piece, the accompanist and conductor are displayed on the display screen in real time, and the soloist can grasp the timing of the start of the performance, changes in tempo, etc. while watching the screen. With this, it is possible to play even songs with a fast tempo or songs with a highly popular solo part.

In this way, by having the conductor or accompanist appear on the screen, performances that could not be achieved with records etc. can be mastered very easily.

[Example] An embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to FIG.

First of all, the accompaniment music is recorded by the performers, conductors, etc. of orchestras, bands, trios, quartets, finchits (hereinafter referred to as orchestras, etc.) who perform and conduct the accompaniment music for instrumental solo pieces, and the sound and images of the conductors are recorded. Prepare a video tape, etc. 1 in advance.

Next, the accompaniment video tape or the like 1 is set in the audio image reproducing device 2, the image reproduction signal is displayed on the screen 3a of the display 3 such as a television, and the audio reproduction signal is produced by the stereo speakers 4.5.

Then, if necessary, the instrumental soloist places the music sheet horizontally on screen 3a.
While watching the conductor etc. α shown on the screen and listening to the sound from the stereo speakers 4 and 5, you can enjoy the audio-visual sense of reality, while adjusting the timing of the start of the performance and the ensemble tempo to the display 6 on the display 3 screen 3a. I'll be playing solo.

In the case of live performances, in solo or ensemble performances with accompaniment, it is necessary to visually match the movements of the conductor α's baton β and the surrounding musicians, while at the same time auditorily confirming the tones of other accompanists and ensemble players. However, since the performance was performed by feeling the situation and atmosphere of the place and harmonizing the timing of the start and the tempo of the ensemble, the use of video tapes etc.1 for accompaniment gave a sense of audio-tactile realism. As my emotions grew and I started to open up and have fun, I felt as though I was in the projected performance venue and was playing live.The timing of the start and the tempo of the ensemble became relatively easy to determine, and as I got used to it, it became easier to find the actual performance. Even when performing a solo performance, he can perform calmly without getting excited.

In addition, for those who have mastered advanced performance techniques or who have completely mastered the start timing and ensemble tempo, the display 6 on the screen 3a of the display 3, such as the blinking of the conductor's baton, etc., can be erased from the start timing and ensemble tempo. It can also be turned off by pressing button 7.

It is also possible to display cartoon-like animated images of the accompanist, conductor, etc. α for children to accompany the accompaniment music.

[Effects of the Invention] Thus, according to the present invention, an instrumental soloist can easily play alone to the accompaniment of background music reproduction, making it possible to perform favorite pieces or assigned pieces at home etc. According to the present invention, if an instrumental performance method using an ensemble videotape of a certain piece of music is mastered, the number of concerts required for orchestras etc. will be reduced, allowing amateurs to take time out of their busy schedules to perform. It is also ideal for practicing orchestras, etc., and even if you do not actually bring an accompanist, the present invention can provide a background music effect to the attendees and audience at wedding receptions, solo recitals, salons, and home parties. It can provide a sense of realism and an excellent production effect that makes it seem as if the main accompaniment is being played.
