Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial field of application) The present invention relates to a keyboard of a keyboard instrument such as a piano.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, a keyboard of a keyboard instrument has a structure in which a white key according to a scale of C major and a black key added when an adjacent white key is in a whole tone relationship are combined. . The relationship between the white keys may be whole tone or semitone.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) In the above-mentioned conventional keyboard, all the majors of C major are composed of white keys. , Easy to think. Therefore, the CD sound, the DE sound and the FG sound, the GA sound, and the AB sound are in the relationship of all-tone difference, respectively, but the relationship of the EF sound and BC sound is in the semitone difference,
It is difficult to learn visually from the arrangement of keyboards, etc., and it is logically necessary to learn by head.

Also, to play a scale other than C major, a black key is used as appropriate, but it is necessary to individually learn which tone is obtained by the black key for each key.

And these shortcomings are major obstacles to the improvement of keyboard instruments.

(Means for Solving Problems) The keyboard of the present invention is a keyboard having a normal arrangement, that is, a key sequence according to the C major scale and C #, D #, F #, G #, A.
In a keyboard in which a key sequence consisting of # keys is combined, a first set of keys composed of C, D, E, F #, G #, and A # notes that are in all-tone relation, and C # and D # , F, G, A, and B tones, and at least one of the keys of the second group is provided with a group identification display.

As the group identification display, a mode in which the first group of keys and the second group of keys are colored in different colors or different figures are attached, or the first group of keys is made to image the sea It is conceivable that a different pattern is attached to each key, and a different pattern is attached to the second set of keys for each key that makes the image of a mountain. still,
Since it is possible to identify a group by attaching the identification mark only to the key of one group, even if the identification mark is attached to only one group,
It is included in the scope of this invention.

(Operation of Device) In this device, it becomes clear by looking at the set identification display whether the sound relation between adjacent keys is a whole note or a half note. In addition, any major scale can be played immediately by hitting three adjacent keys in sequence according to one set identification display and then hitting four adjacent keys according to the other set identification display.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

(Embodiment) The drawings are plan views of a keyboard, in which reference numeral 1 indicates a white key on a normal keyboard, and reference numeral 2 indicates a black key on a normal keyboard. The alphabet displayed on each key indicates the sound of each key. And C, D, E and F, G, A,
The sounds of B are in a whole tone relationship, and the sounds of E, F and B, C are in a semitone relationship. That is, the white keys are not in a whole-tone relationship in a unified manner. White keys for C, D, E sounds and F
The black keys of notes #, G #, and A # constitute a first key group related to all notes, and the black keys of notes C # and D # and the keys of white notes of F, G, A, and B are second keys. The keys of all keys are constructed, and the keyboard is constructed by combining these two groups of keys.

In this embodiment, the keys of the ordinary keyboard constructed as described above are used as they are, and the red sticker 3 is displayed on the upper surface of each key constituting the first whole-tone group as a display for each group. A green sticker 4 is attached to the upper surface of each key that is attached and constitutes the second whole tone related set. The width of each sticker is equal to the width of the black key, and the sticker on the white key 1 is attached to a portion where the black key does not protrude.

According to this embodiment, all the keys to which the same-colored seals are attached are in a whole tone relationship, and the keys of different-colored seals are in a semitone relationship, and the mutual relationships of sounds are visually clear. The white keys do not have the illusion that they are all in the same relationship, and the sound relationships can be easily understood visually without any rationale.

In addition, all scales are composed of a certain adjacent tone relation. For example, in major, two whole notes, one half note, and three.
Everything is made up of one whole note and one semitone. Therefore, in the case of the keyboard of this embodiment, by hitting three red sticker keys and four green sticker keys in sequence, any scale can be correctly played, and which note is sharpened, There is no need to think about that.
Therefore, conventionally, beginners were apt to be scared of songs other than C major, but with this keyboard, songs other than C major can be played at the same intervals as C major, and transposition is easy.

Further, in this embodiment, the width of the sticker is all the black key width, and the sticker on the white key 1 is attached to the part of the black key that does not protrude, so that the key is tapped on the center of the sticker. , The intervals of keystroke positions between semitones are equalized, the distance of the correct sound is provided to the finger, fingering is smooth, and the keys of the same standard are arranged in semitones without distinction between black and white keys. The so-called chromatic keyboard performance,
You will be able to do it without any discomfort.

However, such a configuration is not essential. Further, in order to obtain this effect, it is not necessary to identify the set, and it is sufficient to frame the white key at the position where the seal is attached and display other marks.

In this embodiment, since the colored sticker is used for the set identification display, the keyboard of the present invention can be easily replaced with the ordinary keyboard as it is. The same applies when a pattern sticker is used instead of the colored sticker. Further, the key itself may be colored instead of the identification by the sticker.

(Effect of the Invention) According to this invention, in the keyboard of the normal arrangement, two sets of keys that are related to all tones are provided with the set identification display, so that the conventional keyboard structure of the white key and the black key is not confused. , Visually understand the relationship between sounds. Therefore, it is possible to easily understand the relationship between the tones, and if the basic chord is understood, it is possible to easily apply it to use various chords.

Further, by carrying the finger according to the set identification display, various musical scales can be played without worrying about the position of the sharp flat.

Therefore, by using this keyboard, the learner has an effect that the range of application after acquisition of the basic knowledge is expanded and the learning progress can be expected to be improved, and the keyboard is particularly suitable for learning.
