Definitions

  • Embodiments of the present invention relate to the field music pedagogy, and more particularly, to a system of coloured octaves and music notation to facilitate sight-reading for keyboard-based instruments.
  • Sight-reading is one of the most important topics in music learning. Yet it is also one of the most dreaded ones. Sight-reading means reading music notation from a given score and playing the notes directly on the instrument, in time with the rhythm of the piece. Students generally perform this activity through the tedious process of mentally converting each note in the musical score to its equivalent letter name, i.e., C, D, E, F, G, A, B and their associated sharps and flats; and then playing on the instrument, the key that corresponds to this letter name.
  • the one or more systems make the student dependant.
  • By indicating through the color coding the exact location of the note to be played eliminates the need for mental calculation or effort on the part of the student.
  • they make the process of sight-reading so mechanical that the student is reduced to simply pressing a key based on the color he or she sees.
  • the result is that the student becomes completely dependent on the color cues of these systems and subsequently becomes completely crippled in their absence.
  • the student is asked to perform on the conventional black and white keyed instrument or with the conventional black-noted musical score he would flounder in spite of a high proficiency in sight-reading in these color-based systems.
  • the ability to adapt to the conventional system after learning through these systems is very poor, and a complete transition would again take a lot of time and practice; the same problems that these systems were designed to overcome.
  • the principal object of the present invention is to introduce a unique colour- based system of music pedagogy for keyboard-based instruments, to help students to develop the essential skill of sight-reading in a more intuitive and user-friendly manner, by reducing the amount of time and struggle inherently involved in the process.
  • Another objective of the present invention is to introduce a color-based system of music pedagogy that restricts the employment of color to about five to about six main colors, appearing together in groups to avoid further confusing and bedazzling the student, unlike some of the prior art inventions.
  • Another objective of this invention is to introduce a unique colour-based system of music pedagogy that does not spoon feed the student by indicating the exact note to be played but encourages him to calculate and think for himself by indicating only the octave that has to be played, and thus helps him to develop a sense of pitch, which is vital to musicians.
  • the present invention provides a system of colored keys and music notation for keyboard-based instruments including a keyboard-based instrument having a multiple of octaves and one or more octaves of the multiple of octaves is colored and a set of instructions including one or more music notations corresponding to the one or more octaves of the multiple of octaves.

  • the present invention makes a marked departure from the conventional approach employed in the prior art of leaving the student to his own resources, to painfully master the art of sight- reading over years of repetitive and boring practice. As the student initiate playing the one or more keyboard-based instruments, his fingers respond instinctively to the color cues of the present invention and automatically moves to the appropriate octave where the note to be played is located.
  • the present invention recognizes the need to guide the student through the process of sight-reading, without hampering his or her musical growth in the process.
