Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a storage medium for keyboard instrument training suitable for self-study of a keyboard instrument and a musical score.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In order to facilitate self-study of keyboard musical instruments, a musical instrument has been developed in which display means such as LEDs are provided in the vicinity of each key and the display means corresponding to the key to be played are sequentially turned on as the music progresses. (For example, the actual Kaihei 2-95009
No. 8). According to this, the practitioner can practice the music by relying on the display and pressing a key.

[0003]

However, the LED
Even if the lights etc. are lit up and instructed, it is difficult for the practitioner to keep up with the performance, and the effect of self-study is weak. In this case, it was difficult to practice one song even if the tempo was delayed.
Further, in the conventional device, since the LED display is made for both the right hand part and the left hand part, there is a problem that it is difficult to recognize the key to be played for both hands.

On the other hand, in the case of a keyboard instrument that does not have a display means, a person will learn by himself while reading a general musical score, but since the musical score only displays the symbols necessary for playing, how to practice It was not suitable for self-study because it was not clear if it was effective. The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a storage medium for keyboard musical instrument training and a musical score that enables even a beginner to easily learn by himself.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the invention according to claim 1 is a storage medium for storing performance information read by an automatic musical instrument, comprising a right-hand part storage section for recording performance information of the right-hand part. , And a left-hand part storage section that records performance information of the left-hand part,
The right-hand part and the left-hand part are each composed of a divided part that constitutes a part of a piece of music, and each divided part is accessible.

According to the invention of claim 2,
It has a right-hand part mark in which the right-hand part performance note is written and a left-hand part mark in which the left-hand part performance note is written, and indicates a predetermined range for each of the right-hand part note and the left-hand part note It is characterized in that a practice unit display for displaying the range as a practice unit is provided.

[0007]

In the invention described in claim 1, since the automatic performance (sample performance) is performed for a part of the music by appropriately accessing the divided parts, the practitioner can practice little by little with reference to this. You can In the invention according to claim 2, since the practice unit is shown,
By practicing based on this, effective self-study with appropriate breaks can be achieved.

It has a RAM 13 in which various data are temporarily stored, and a CPU
An I / O interface 11 sends and receives signals to and from various parts of the apparatus.

Next, 20 is a floppy disk (storage medium) of this embodiment, and 25 is a musical score corresponding to the performance data stored in the floppy disk 20. Performance data is stored in the floppy disk 20 by a so-called event data method. Here, FIG. 1 (1)
(4) to (4) are conceptual diagrams showing the storage contents of the floppy disk 20, and (1) in the same figure shows the event data EV in the case of key-on. The event data EV is composed of key-on data KON indicating key-on, note code NOTE indicating pitch, key velocity KV indicating strength of key depression, and time data TIME until the next event. Such event data is sequentially stored in correspondence with the key-on timing. In the case of sounding at the same time, the time data may be set to "0" and event data may be sequentially connected.

FIG. 1B shows event data EV in the case of key-off. In the case of this embodiment, it is composed of key-off data KOFF indicating key-off, note code NOTE and time data TIME, and there is no key velocity KV. However, if the speed of key release is also reproduced, the key velocity KV may be provided.

Further, FIGS. 1C and 1D show a memory map of the floppy disk 20. In the same figure (C), the performance data for the right hand (for the melody) is area R.
It is stored separately for 1 to Rn. Performance data of all parts of the music are stored in the areas R1 and R2, and performance data corresponding to some of the parts of the music are stored in the area R3 and thereafter.

Areas H1 to Hn are areas for storing performance data for the left hand (accompaniment), and as in the case of the right hand, all or some parts of the music are appropriately stored.

Although data other than performance data is stored in each of the above-mentioned areas, the contents of such data and performance data will be described later. In addition to the above-mentioned area, the floppy disk 20 is provided with an area for storing performance data for assisting and decorating the performance when the player plays with both hands (details will be described later). ). The performance data of the floppy disk 20 is read into the RAM 13 for use.

Next, the operation of this embodiment having the above-mentioned structure will be described. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an outline of the practice procedure in the same embodiment. First, step SP1 is a step called "Kitetemyou", in which the melody (right hand part) of the target song is automatically played, and the practitioner listens to all songs once and listens. Step SP2 is a step called "mitemiyou", which is a step for automatically performing a phrase to be practiced from now on with a strong sound and a weak sound. In this step,
The practitioner can visually check the key movement of the right hand part.

Steps SP3-1 to SP3-n are steps called "rehearsal", in which the practitioner practices the right hand part one by one in sequence. Step SP4 is a step called "Mouichidokiitemiyou", and similar to step SP1, automatic performance is performed through all the songs. Step SP5 is "Tooshigeiko"
The practitioner relies on some guide sounds to practice the entire song. Step SP6 is
This is a step called "Saahongbang", in which the left-hand part and the auxiliary accompaniment sound for enriching the music are automatically performed, and the practitioner performs the right-hand performance through one song.

Next, in step SP7 and thereafter,
Enter the step called "Ryoteni Challenge" and perform the same training procedure as above for your left hand. Also, practice using both hands part by part of the song. Then, step SP8
In the step called "Ryote de Hongbang" of
The practitioner practices with both hands throughout a song. At this time, an auxiliary accompaniment for enriching the music is automatically performed.

The operation of the present embodiment will be described below by taking the case of practicing the "Saint's March" as an example. First,
The score 25 corresponding to "Saint's March" is as shown in FIG. The areas indicated by "Rehearsal 1" to "Rehearsal 7" in the figure represent the practice units.
Practice in the order of "Rehearsal 2". Although only the right-hand part is shown in the figure, a practice unit is also shown in the score showing the left-hand part.

Now, the practitioner operates the operation unit 8 to select "Kitemiyou". As a result, the performance data in the area R1 of FIG. 1 (3) is read out, and the right-hand part of "Saint's March" is automatically played based on this. After listening to this automatic performance, operate the operation unit 8 again to operate the area R2 (see FIG.
The performance data of (3) is read out. With this performance data, for example, the phrase (rehearsal 2 shown in FIG.
Is automatically played without accompaniment, and after the prelude, the same phrase is automatically played with an accompaniment and a strong sound as shown in FIG. Following this performance, the same phrase is automatically played with a weak sound as shown in FIG. That is, the key velocity KV in this case is set to a small value, and as a result, each key slowly sinks and the player can visually check the movement of the key. Further, in the playing start portion shown in (3) of the figure, a note that is two octaves higher than the note sound is automatically played as a weak note, so that the practitioner can know the start timing. This step is a demonstration showing how to proceed with the following exercises, and the practitioner actually plays the part played with a weak sound. In addition, this step is performed in the same manner for all parts of "Rehearsal 1" to "Rehearsal 7". Normally, when this step is selected, "Rehearsal 1" is automatically and sequentially performed. We move to "rehearsal" of the latter part. However, if fast-forwarding and rewinding (a process of reading out event data at high speed in the forward direction or the backward direction) is performed by the operation of the practitioner, it is possible to perform a weak sound performance for a desired “rehearsal”.

When the step of "warming up" is selected before entering the step of "rehearsal", the data of the area corresponding to the step is read out, and a simple phrase as shown in FIG. It is played twice with accompaniment, and at the start of the third time, a sound that is two octaves higher than the actual sound is played as a weak sound. The practitioner uses this high-pitched guide as a starting signal to play the sound he or she has just heard.

Next, when "Rehearsal" is selected, FIG.
As shown in FIG. 11, the same model performance and practice start signal as described above are given for a part of the music. The phrase shown in this figure is a phrase corresponding to "rehearsal 1" shown in FIG.
That is, the “rehearsal” is divided into “rehearsal 1” to “rehearsal 7” shown in FIG. 4, and when the performer sequentially selects a desired rehearsal according to his / her achievement level, the data from the area corresponding to this is selected. Is read and the same performance as above is performed. Also, before the part where the song becomes difficult, a slightly simplified phrase warming up can be selected. For example, FIG. 8 is a musical score of “warming up” performed before “rehearsal 4”. When "Rehearsal 7" is completed, it becomes the "Osaray" step,
Practicing a little longer phrase by connecting several rehearsals. For example, the first half of the song is practiced by connecting "Rehearsal 7" and "Rehearsal 2", and the second half of the song is practiced by connecting "Rehearsal 5" and "Rehearsal 6".

Then, when the step of "Osaray" is completed and the step of "Mouichido Kite Miyo" is selected, the same automatic performance as "Kite Miyo" (step SP1) is performed. Next, when the "Tooshigeiko" step is selected, a guided performance is shown in which the playing start point of the key point of the song is indicated by a pitch two octaves higher. The practitioner refers to this and practices through one song. In each of the above steps, the performance data of the corresponding portion of FIG. 1 (3) is read out as appropriate.

Next, when the step "Saa, Hong Bang" is selected, the automatic piano 1 automatically plays the left-hand part, and the practitioner practices one song in accordance with this. This concludes the practice of the right hand part.

Next, when the step "Ryoteni Challenge" is selected, the performance data in the areas H1 to Hn for the left hand part shown in FIG. 1 (4) are read out as appropriate, and the same practice as in the case of the above right hand is performed. Is done. However, in the case of a step of practicing a part of a piece of music with both hands, the data in the area corresponding to this step is read out and an auxiliary accompaniment for enriching the expression of the piece of music is performed. Then, in the step of "Ryote de Hong Bang", the practitioner practices with both hands throughout one song, and the automatic piano 1 performs an auxiliary accompaniment that enriches the expression of the song. This completes the practice of one song.

The display unit 7 displays messages such as "Ganburou", "Ochitsuite" according to the above steps. Further, in the above-described embodiment, by operating the operation unit 8, the data in any area can be read. That is, a desired step can be selected, and an exercise can be instantly selected according to the level of the practitioner. Further, by using the musical score in the above embodiment, the practice unit can be shown even if a normal musical instrument having no automatic performance function is used, so that an efficient practice can be performed. Here, an example of a musical score in which parts of both hands are described is shown in FIG. In FIG. 9, the upper musical score shows the right-hand part and the lower musical score shows the left-hand part.
The part marked "Rehearsal 15" ... is the practice unit. Here, the reason for starting from "rehearsal 14" is that the musical score (not shown) displaying only the right-hand part ends with "rehearsal 13".

(Effects of the Embodiment) (b) Since the music is divided into predetermined sections and taught, it is easy for beginners to learn by themselves. (B) Since the part to be learned is automatically played with a strong sound and then with a weak sound, it is possible to visually confirm the key to be played when playing a weak sound. Therefore, even if the music score cannot be read, it is possible to learn by itself. (C) From the key to be typed when learning each part of the right and left hands
The octave-high key is automatically tapped to notify the timing, so it is easy to understand when to start playing. (D) When the right hand and left hand parts are being taught, the other part and the auxiliary accompaniment are automatically played, so that it sounds like a continuous note and can be enjoyed by a self-taught person. (E) Even when the self-teacher plays with both hands, the supplementary accompaniment for enriching the music is automatically played, so that the self-teacher's performance sounds even richer.

As described above, according to the present invention, each of the right-hand part and the left-hand part can be practiced for a part of the music, so that even a beginner can easily learn by himself.
