Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a music teaching device that allows the user to listen to the contents of each element constituting a piece of music and learn the contents of the piece aurally, thereby allowing the user to sense and understand the piece of music.

A song is composed of structural elements and elements of a group of musical instruments, including singing. In order to comprehensively perceive and understand the song, it is necessary to understand each of the above elements, and
Furthermore, you must understand the contents that make up each element.

The constituent elements of a piece of music and the content of each element are expressed, for example, in a musical score, and therefore the content can be understood through the musical score, but young children and others have a hard time understanding music through the musical score. That is impossible.

Therefore, in music education aimed at young children,
Teachers break down the composition of a piece of music and have students learn it according to a predetermined curriculum, etc., but it is difficult to make the students clearly understand it aurally by corresponding to the actual musical tones. In particular, it is extremely difficult to teach students while giving them musical enjoyment.

This idea was created in consideration of the points mentioned above, including the structure of the song, the singing to express the song,
The elements of percussion instruments, melodic instruments, etc. are made easy for students to understand aurally in order, so that even young children in particular can easily and clearly perceive and understand the composition of a piece of music. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a music teaching device that enables the user to learn music.

That is, in the teaching device according to this invention, a magnetic tape having a plurality of recording tracks formed in the width direction is divided into a plurality of blocks in the longitudinal direction corresponding to the constituent elements of a song, and in each block, each recording track is divided into blocks. Performance information is recorded by further decomposing the contents of the elements corresponding to the blocks, and the recording tracks are selected and reproduced in block units.

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

FIG. 1 shows an example of the configuration of a reproducing mechanism that audibly provides performance information to students who are learning, and includes, for example, four magnetic heads lla to lld corresponding to four channels chl to ch4, respectively.

These heads lla-lid are arranged in parallel in the width direction of the magnetic tape being run, and simultaneously read performance information recorded on four tracks formed on the tape in parallel.

The signals successively taken from each of the heads lla to lld are amplified by amplifiers 12a to 12d, respectively, and guided to tone volume units 13a to 13d.

The tone volumes 13a to 13d are respectively controlled by four operators set appropriately on the operation panel surface, and control the on/off of the signals from the amplifiers 12a to 12d, respectively, and their levels in the on state. is set as appropriate.

The signals taken out from the tone volumes 13a to 13d are appropriately amplified and taken out as signals of the first to fourth channels ch1 to ch4, and are led to a speaker circuit to be emitted as reproduced sound, and are also connected to a switch circuit. 14, the left-right and right-R signals are divided into split stages, and are produced in stereophonic sound for the students to hear.

The magnetic tape used in this playback mechanism has a structure in which it has four parallel tracks in the width direction that are continued in parallel by magnetic heads lla to lid, and it also has one track in the length direction. A break is provided for each recording range.

This division is determined by a mechanism that detects light reflection or by means of recording and reading a special signal.

Although not shown in the above-mentioned playback mechanism, it is equipped with a function to stop tape running in response to a signal for determining the break.
It also has a built-in repeat mechanism that repeatedly plays back the range divided by the division.

FIG. 2 shows the configuration of a magnetic tape 15 used in the above-described reproduction mechanism.Four recording tracks T1 to T4 are formed on this tape 15 in parallel in the width direction, and the head lla to 11d are read in parallel.

This tape 15 is divided into a plurality of sections in the longitudinal direction by the above-mentioned divisions, and for example, the first to fifth blocks A to E are set for one piece of music. Each of E corresponds to a constituent element expressing a musical composition of 1 structure, ``singing'', ``percussion instrument'', ``melodic instrument'', and ``comprehensive''.

Specifically, in the structure of the music in the first block A, there is an accompaniment to the main melody, and the accompaniment includes a harmonic framework and rhythm. Contains the skeleton of

Therefore, the first to fourth tracks T1 to T4 of this first block A are set to record each performance sound of the main melody Jr'' harmony skeleton rlJ rhythm skeleton Yo' accompaniment Yo, respectively. In the playback mechanism, after specifying this block A, select tone volumes 13a to 13d,
Along with the accompaniment, the main melody, the harmonic framework, and the rhythm framework.
By playing one or more pieces of music one on top of the other, the structure of the song can be broken down and understood by hearing.

The second block B is a singing block, and in addition to the accompaniment performance, there is singing 11J of the main melody, and singing 12 or 3J for the second and third chorus on each track T1.
~Recorded on T4.

That is, with accompaniment, singing r 1. ,,, r
By playing the 3rd and third verses together, it becomes possible to effectively perform the singing corresponding to the main melody, as well as simulated experiential learning of the two-part chorus and the three-part chorus.

Furthermore, the third block C and the fourth block D are a percussion instrument block and a melodic instrument block, respectively,
The first to third tracks T1 to T3 correspond to percussion instrument types such as triangle, small radish, and large radish, and melodic instrument types such as flute, clarinet, and trumpet, and their performance sounds are recorded.

The fourth track T records the main melody and accompaniment that support the performances of each musical instrument.

In other words, by playing the first to third tracks together with this fourth track, it is possible to aurally understand, for example, the playing state of the triangle in a song, and the experience of simulating each percussion instrument and melodic instrument is effective. It is effective in helping students understand the structure of a piece of music.

The fifth block E is a comprehensive block, and is a comprehensive block for the first to fourth tracks T1 to T4. It records the state of play and allows students to gain a sense of, understand, and learn the overall structure of a piece of music.

In the above embodiment, the parts corresponding to the musical instrument groups are shown as singing blocks, percussion instruments blocks, and melodic instrument blocks. However, when considered as an orchestra, blocks can be divided into string instruments, woodwind instruments, brass instruments, percussion instruments, etc. Each block may be set according to such a musical instrument group.

As described above, according to this invention, it is possible to intuitively understand and learn the beginnings of a song's structure in block order, and break down each block to correspond to the accompaniment and main melody. This allows even young children to easily and reliably learn and understand music while fully enjoying the joy of music.
