FIGS. 2 and 3 are diagrams showing an example of the data structure of each task song registered in the task song database 11a. Each task song has its "song name", "attribute information",
"Note data", "score data", "fingering data",
It is composed of seven types of data of “section data” and “practice menu”.

As shown in FIG. 2, the "attribute information" is composed of six kinds of data of "tune", "main tempo", "main beat", "style of music" and "difficulty level" of the music. It is configured. Here, the “song style” is, for example, one of “jazz”, “waltz”, “4 beats”, “8 beats”, “16 beats”, “classic”, and “swing”. Selected and stored. When the style changes in the middle of a song,
The style is defined as “style” in the section attribute information described later.
Is stored. In the present embodiment, the “difficulty level” takes an integer value, for example, one of 1 to 4, and the greater the numerical value, the higher the difficulty level of the music.

"Section data" is, as shown in FIG.
It is composed of two types of data, “section information” and “section attribute information”. Here, the “section information” refers to information indicating a practice section (practice unit) of the task music. For example, section 1 is the first to eighth measures and section 2 is
Stores a section and a measure included in the section as a pair, such as from the ninth measure to the twelfth measure. “Section attribute information” refers to attribute information that is valid only for the section. In this area, when attribute information different from the “attribute information” of the song is set in the section, the attribute information, As shown in FIG. 3, all information obtained by removing the "difficulty level" from the "attribute information" of the song is stored. Note that the “section attribute information” is set only when the “attribute information” of the song is different from the “attribute information” of the section. Therefore, in the illustrated example, in the sections 1 and 4, since the “attribute information” of the section and the “attribute information” of the music are the same,
Omitted.

The "practice menu" is, as shown in FIG.
It consists of six menus: practice of the right hand part (each section of the song and all songs), practice of the left hand part (each section of the song and all songs), and practice of both hands (each section of the song and all songs) Have been. In the practice menu for each section of the music, the “practice of right hand part” menu is divided into a plurality of sections (for example, 4, 8 bars, etc.) of the entire right hand part of the task piece, and is included in each section. The bar number is stored, and the "Left hand part practice" menu similarly stores a plurality of sections of the entire left hand part of the subject music, and the bar numbers included in each section are stored, and the "Hand practice"
Similarly, the menu includes multiple sections of the entire song,
The bar numbers included in each section are stored.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the data structure of the practice music database 11b.

In this embodiment, the practice song database 11b is composed of, for example, 123 practice songs, and each practice song has its "beat", "key",
It is composed of "(difficulty) level", "tempo", "style", and "practice keyword". Specific examples stored in these items are as follows.

Time signature: 2/2, 3/2, 2/4, 3/4,
4/4, 5/4, 6/4, 4/8, 6/8, 12/8, etc. Key: Each key Level: 1, 2, 3, 4 (Easy ← Difficulty → Difficult) Tempo: Each tempo Style : Basic, jazz, waltz, 4 beats, 8 beats, 16 beats, classic, swing, etc. Practice keywords: chords, thirds, scales, fingering, jumping, finger extension, accidentals, modulation, triplets, syncopation,
Left / Right Rhythm, etc. Here, “basic” in the “style” item indicates that it can be applied as a practice song regardless of the style of the task song. The “practice keyword” refers to a word that mainly indicates the purpose of the practice of the practice song. In this item, for example, “3rd” indicates that the pitch is a practice song progressing at 3rd, and “finger use” "" Indicates that the key press direction is changed, or that the song is a practice song of fingering different from normal fingering, and "jumping" indicates that the song is a practice song of jumping progress.

In the practice music database 11b, note data and score data (both not shown) corresponding to each practice music are stored in the practice music database 11b, similarly to the task music database 11a.
Etc. are stored. In the present embodiment, each practice song is composed of a short song of about 4 or 8 bars, similarly to the practice menu for each section of the song in FIG.

The control processing executed by the training support apparatus constructed as described above, in particular, by the CPU 5, will be described below with reference to FIGS.
It will be described based on.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the main routine executed by the CPU 5.

In the figure, first, initial settings such as clearing of the RAM 7 and resetting of various ports are performed (step S).
1).

Next, for example, according to the task song specified by the user, the task song data (the data described in FIG. 2) is selected from the task song database 11a, and the RA is selected.
Load to the work area of M7 (step S2).

Then, a practice menu is searched from the loaded task music data, and the following items are retrieved from the practice menu.
That is, items to be practiced from now (any of the six types of practice menus in FIG. 3) are extracted (step S3). For example, when the process first proceeds to step S3, the first item in the practice menu,
That is, the item located at the beginning of the "practice of right hand part" menu for each section of the song (hereinafter, this item is also referred to as "practice menu" unless confused). on the other hand,
When the process shifts from the step S13 to be described later to the present step S3, that is, when it is not the first time that the process shifts to the present step S3, the next practice menu is taken out.

Next, using the musical score data and musical note data of the task music data, the musical score corresponding to the practice menu extracted in step S3 is displayed, and a model performance is performed (step S4).

In a succeeding step S5, attribute information or section attribute information of the music piece of the task music data is extracted. As described above, the attribute information throughout the song is the attribute information of the song.
When this attribute information is changed in a certain section in the middle of the music, the attribute information is stored in “section attribute information”. Therefore, in step S5, when the section attribute information corresponding to the section of the target practice menu is stored in the section data of FIG. 2, the section attribute information is extracted, while the section attribute information is extracted. If it is not stored, the "attribute information" of the song is retrieved.

Then, in step S6, the metronome sound is started to be produced in accordance with the tempo written in the "section attribute information" or the "attribute information" of the music piece thus extracted. Here, the metronome sound is generated to make it easier for the user to play, and when the user plays a song having a note shifted from the beat timing of the specified time signature, the user presses the note correctly. This is so that the CPU 5 can determine whether or not the key is locked.

In the following step S7, a display for instructing the user to start playing is displayed on the display device 9, for example, and in step S8, the user inputs using the keyboard 1 according to the progress of the music. The performance is stored in the work area of the RAM 7, and in a step S9, it is determined whether or not the performance is completed.

Here, it is determined whether or not the performance has ended.
For example, the determination is made by determining whether or not the performance of all the notes in the practice practice menu has been completed, whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed, or whether or not there has been an instruction from the user to end the performance.

In step S9, if the performance has not been finished yet, the process returns to step S8, while if the performance has been completed, the process proceeds to step S10.

In step S10, the metronome sound is stopped. In step S11, an evaluation practice processing subroutine described later with reference to FIG. 6 is executed. In step S12,
As a result of the evaluation in step S11, it is determined whether or not the level of the user has reached a predetermined level.

Here, whether or not the user's level has reached a predetermined level is determined, for example, by comparing the key press sequence input by the user in step S8 with the note data corresponding to the practice menu. This is performed by determining whether or not the number of key press errors is equal to or greater than a predetermined number. The detection of the error is performed in the evaluation practice process in step S11.

In step S12, when the user's level has not reached the predetermined level, the process returns to step S4, and the practice using the same practice menu is repeated again. On the other hand, when the user's level has reached the predetermined level, Proceed to step S13.

In step S13, it is determined whether or not the practice of all the items in the practice menu of FIG. 3 has been completed. If there are still items to be practiced, the process returns to step S3 to repeat the above-described processing. When there is no item to be practiced, the main routine ends.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart for explaining the detailed procedure of the evaluation practice processing subroutine in step S11.

In the figure, first, the contents of a mistake in the performance inputted by the user in the step S8 are detected and analyzed (step S21). Here, the content of the error refers to the location of the error and its cause.

The location of the mistake is detected by comparing the user's key press row with the note data of the target practice menu. And the location of the detected mistake is
For example, the music score displayed on the display device 9 is displayed in a different color to allow the user to recognize the mistake.

The cause of the error is estimated by comparing the user's keystroke sequence with the note data at the location of the error thus detected. For example,
When the accidental note is not assigned to the user's keypress sound for the note to which the accidental is assigned, the mistake is:
If it is presumed that the mistake is mainly due to the lack of recognition of “accidental symbols” and the mistake is that the key is pressed for an early passage and the finger of the user does not follow, the mistake is mainly “scale”. When it is estimated that the chord is missing due to lack of practice, and the chord is missed in the key press of the user, the mistake is mainly caused by insufficient recognition of the "chord" and lack of practice. presume. In accordance with the cause estimated (analyzed) in this way, the practice keyword (in the above example, “accidental”, “scale”, “chord”) is generated, and for example, RAM
7 is temporarily stored in the work area.

The detection and analysis of the error content is not limited to the above-described method. For example, information on a problem that is expected to appear (for example, an error-prone location and its cause) is previously written in the section attribute information. Then, it may be analyzed whether or not the user's mistake corresponds to the problem. As a result, the accuracy of the analysis is improved, and the speed of the analysis is also improved.

Next, it is determined whether or not a specific problem has an error greater than a predetermined value (step S22). If the error has occurred more than a predetermined value, the content of the error analyzed in step S21, specifically, Based on the generated and stored practice keyword and the attribute information or the section attribute information, a practice song is selected from the practice song database 11b (step S23). That is, a search is made for a practice song that matches the content of the practice keyword and the attribute information.

In the following step S24, step S23
As a result of the selection (search) process, it is determined whether or not the corresponding practice song is found. If the relevant practice song is not found, the practice song closest to the condition of step S23 is selected from the practice song database 11b. The practice music is converted based on the attribute information or the section attribute information (step S25). On the other hand, if a corresponding practice music is found, step S25 is skipped and step S25 is skipped.
Proceed to 26.

In step S26, step S23 is performed.
The musical score of the practice tune selected in step or the practice tune transformed in step S25 is displayed and a model performance is performed.

In the following steps S27 to S31, the same processes as those in steps S6 to S10 are executed, and the flow advances to step S32.

In the step S32, the step S12
Similarly to the above, it is determined whether or not the level of the user has reached the predetermined level. If the level has not reached the predetermined level, the process returns to the step S26 and repeats the above-mentioned processing. If the answer is YES, the evaluation training process ends.

On the other hand, in step S22, when there is no error of a specific task equal to or greater than a predetermined value, the evaluation training process is immediately terminated.

In step S23, the practice song is selected from practice songs that match all items (conditions). However, if the degree of coincidence is strictly set, the number of cases in which the songs do not match increases. Accordingly, it is necessary to increase the number of practice songs, and the memory capacity, data input cost, etc. increase.

That is, for example, weighting is performed for each item, and the item having the highest matching degree is selected. As an example of the weighting, the score of the practice keyword, which is the object of the present invention, is increased, and even if the item is converted by the conversion process in step S25, the item is essentially the same as before conversion. For example, it is conceivable to lower the score of an item that does not receive the sound, for example, the tempo. Then, the points assigned to the respective items are totaled in accordance with the degree of coincidence, and the practice song having the largest total point is selected. At this time, if there are a plurality of selected practice songs, for example, one of them is selected at random and
You can make it the target practice song.

On the other hand, if the total score is only the practice songs having the predetermined score or less, it is determined in step S24 that there is no suitable practice song in the practice song database 11b, and the process proceeds to step S25. Transform the practice song with the largest total score. Therefore, when there is a case where the transformation is performed, it is necessary to keep high the items that are difficult to transform, for example, the time signature and the style.

As described above, in the present embodiment,
Detects and analyzes the content of mistakes made by the user with respect to the song presented in the practice menu, and presents the best practice song for the user to play the task song according to the result. Therefore, the motivation of the user to learn can be enhanced, and an effective instruction can be given even to a user who cannot make a practice policy.

In the present embodiment, the level of the practice music is set to match the task music. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the user's performance level is determined, and a level suitable for that level is selected. You may do so.

Further, in the transformation process of the step S25, the practice music stored in the practice music database 11b is modified. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The basic pattern may be stored in advance, and the basic pattern may be modified in the modification process. In this way, the processing time for search and transformation can be reduced.

Furthermore, in the present embodiment, as described in step S32, when the user's level has not reached the predetermined level, the same practice music is repeated again. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, another practice song in which the level is lowered by one step may be practiced.

In the present embodiment, the task music database 11a and the practice music database 11b are CD-ROMs.
