Application filed April 12, 1917. Serial No. 161,392.
- provide a staffin which the different lines have different colors on one side of the music chart, while the lines on the other side of the chart are all of a singlecolor, and in connection. with such chart, I employ colored markers and finger pieces which correspond in color to the lines of the staff.
With the above and other objects in view which will hereinafter more clearly appear in the detailed description, my invention consists of a novel music chart.
It further consists of other novel features of construction and advantage, all as will hereinafter more fully appear.
For the purpose of lllustratingmy invention, I have shown in the accompanying drawin a typical embodiment thereof, which is at present preferred by me, since this embodiment will give in practice satisfactory and reliable results, although it is to be understood that the various instrumentalities of which my invention consists can be variously arranged and organized and that my invention is not limited to the precise arrangement and organization of these instrumentalities as herein shown and described.
Figure 1 represents a face view of a music chart embodying my invention.
Fig. 2 represents a plan view of ored side of certain disks employed.
Fig. 3 represents a plan view of the disks, showing the opposite side of that seen in the col- Fi 2. l ig. 4 represents a plan view of the back .of the music chart.
Fig. 5 represents a plan view of the front face of a musiochart, with a different clef from that seen in Fig. 1. O r Fig. 6 represents a plan viewof certaln other disks employed.
Fig. 7 re resents a, side elevation of finger pieces emp oyed.
Fig. 8 represents a plan v ew of the rear face of the music chart shown in Fig: 5.
Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts .in the figures.
, Referring to the drawings Referring first to Figs.1 and 4, 1 designates the music chart, on the front face of which is indicated the stafi 2 and the treble clef 3. Thelines of the stafi are indicated in different colors, and for urposes of illustration, I have shown the rst line as being red, the second line as being green,the third line as being purple, the fourth line as being yellow, and the fifth line as being blue. The degrees of the stafi have letters placed thereon indicative of the notes. I have also shown one leger line, which is indicated in black and has placed thereon the letter C. The first space below the regular staff has placed thereon the letter D and the first space above the regular staff has placed thereon the letter G.
4 designates markers or disks, one face of which is colored to correspondto the color of a line of the staff and the other face ofeach disk is marked with a letter indicative of each line of the staff. On the back of the music chart is placed a staff 5 in which the lines are all printed in the same color, such as for example, black, and the treble clef 6 is indicated on the stafi.
In Figs. 5 and 6 I have shown a music chart havin a staff thereon indicative of the bass cle The front face of this sheet of the music chart has a staff 7 indicated thereon and the bass clef 8. The lines are colored so that each ,line of the stafl has its own special color. The lower leger line is indicated, for example, in red. The first line of the staff is indicated in green, the
second line of the staff is indicated in purprising strips of colored material secured together in ring formation so that'they can be slipped on the fingers of the hand. These rings are colored to correspond to the colors ,ofthe degrees of the staff.
The rear face of the sheet of the music chart indicative of the bass clef is provided with a staff 11, the lines of which are all of the same color, for example, black. 1/ The bass clef 12 is indicated on the staff 11. It will thus be seen that I provide a sheet for each clef.
In using the chart, the colors are first taught to the student in the order in which they a pear on the chart. The disks 4 are then pl ced on the corresponding colors covering tie letters and with the color side up. The letters in'the spaces are covered with the disks 9, using at first the four disks which-spell face and arranging them with their unlettered sides uppermost. When these are thorou hly known, the disks G and B are added. I? ow one after the other, the disks are turned letter side up, retaining them on the proper line or space and naming them aloud. The disks are then turned to make their unlettered sides uppermost and the disks are placed soas to cover the letters, and the student then is asked to name the lines and spaces without seeing the letters. After the student is able to do this accurately with the colored lines, the sheet of the music chart is turned over, and the colored disks are placed on the proper lines and spaces and identified by the student.
Afterthe colors have become associated in the mind of the student with the names of the lines, the use of the disks 4 is gradually discarded and. disks 9 are used on the black lines, these disks having letters printed on one side and having thelr other side white.
- The student soon becomes able to print letters or notes on the stafi, calling them by name without hesitation.
The chart can be used as a game by two children, by dividing the disks evenlyv between them and letting them take turns in placing them correctly. The rings 10. are placed on the students fingers in the order of the chart colors, placin the hand horizontally alon the lines an naming the line. The hand with the rings on is placed on the corresponding keys on the piano, naming the keys as this is done. The rings may be slipped from the fingers and placed on the corresponding keys. This brings the chart work to the piano and locates the lines and spaces on the keyboard.
It will be apparent that by employing the music chart herein disclosed and carrying out the steps of the method as herein defined, the student soon becomes familiar with the ositions of the notes with relation to the ines and spaces of the staff. The disks form markers which conceal the letters indicated on the staff.
It will now be apparent that I have devised a novel and useful music chart, which embodies the features of advantage enumerated as desirable in the statement of the invention and the above description, and while I have, in the present instance, shown and described a typical embodiment thereof which will give in practice satisfacto and reliable results, it is to be unders that this embodiment is susceptible of modification in various particulars without departing from the spirit or see of the invention or sacrificing any of its vantages.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. An apparatus for teaching music, comprising a chart bearin on'its face a staff the ines of which are 0 different colors, and the lines and spaces of which bear their respective letters, and markers constructed and arranged for removable arrangement on the stafi? and of a size to coverand hide the letters of the stafi, each marker having one side colored correspondingly to one line of thestafi and being provid side with the respective letter of said line. 2. An apparatus for teaching music, comprising a chart bearing on its face a staff the lines of which are of different colors, and the lines and spaces of which bear their respective letters, with the letters spaced apart and those complementary to the lines arranged in a separate series from those complementary to the spaces, and markers constructed and arranged for removable arrangement on the staff and of a size to cover and hide the letters of the staff, each marker having one side colored correspondingl to one line of the staff and being provide on its opposite sidewith the respective letter of sa1d line.
