Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for facilitating the learning of a musical instrument. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method for facilitating the learning of a musical instrument wherein a visual teaching aid is used to facilitate the learning process.
  • karaoke apps which are used to highlight musical staves during which music is played these apps do not assist a learner in learning a musical instrument.
  • a system for facilitating the learning of a musical instrument comprising:
  • said display apparatus also being capable of providing visual feedback to indicate the note being played is at the correct pitch
  • said display apparatus also being capable of adding colours to notes of the music
  • said display apparatus also being capable of emphasising the appearance of a note when it is incorrectly played
  • a user using the system is capable of improving their learning of how to play a musical instrument.
  • the present invention may therefore be used to facilitate the learning process of a musical instrument and, in particular, provide instant real time feedback to a learner thereby making the experience more interactive and enjoyable.
  • By providing continuous real time visual feedback to learners they can see instantly if the note their musical instrument is producing is correct, and if not, if the note is too high or too low - and by how much - the learner can then take corrective action.
  • the display apparatus may display any appropriate number of lines of music.
  • the next note to be played may be illuminated. This may, for example, occur on a computer or a tablet or any other suitable display system.
  • the illuminated note changes colour to, for example, green and when the note has been sustained for the correct pitch for the required time (e.g. one beat) then the next note is illuminated and changes, for example, green when the note has been sustained for the correct pitch for the required time.
  • text may be displayed - 'Correct note played'.
  • the first note is played to high - text such as 'Note too high' may be displayed.
  • the illuminated note may then turn, for example, red and a, for example, red column may appear above the note on the stave.
  • the height of the column may be proportional to the amount by which the note is too high.
  • the learner may then be prompted to take corrective action - as corrective action is taken, the height of the column changes until it disappears, and the colour of the illuminated note changes, for example, to green.
  • the correct note has been played for the correct time (e.g. one beat) then the next note may be illuminated as before in - 'Next cue'.
  • the first note is played too low - text such as 'Note too low' may be displayed.
  • the illuminated note may then change colour, for example turn red and a column may appear below the note on the stave.
  • the learner may then be prompted to take corrective action - as corrective action is taken the height of the column changes until it disappears when the note is correct.
  • correct note has been played for the correct time (e.g. one beat) then the next note is illuminated as before.

  • the present invention may also be used for string or brass based instruments e.g. the trombone, bugle and trumpet.
  • a further feature of the present invention is that the system can be used to tune instruments such as fret-less stringed instruments e.g. violins. For example, after first tuning the open strings of a violin to their correct pitch G D A E, to obtain other notes a violinist must press a string down firmly against the fingerboard to shorten its length by 12 2 (twelfth root of 2) for each semitone.

  • the bottom line in Figure 1 represents the situation when the first note is played too low - 'Note too low'. Similar, to the situation shown in line 2 then the illuminated note then turns red and a red column 12 appears below the note on the stave - this is shown by reference numeral 12 in Figure 1. The learner is then prompted to take corrective action - as corrective action is taken the height of the red column 12 changes until it disappears and the red column 12 changes to illumination of the note in green.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé destiné à faciliter l'apprentissage d'un instrument de musique, une aide visuelle et pédagogique étant utilisée. Elle assure un retour d'information instantané en temps réel à un élève. Celui-ci peut voir instantanément si la note que produit son instrument de musique est correcte et, dans la négative, si la note est trop haute ou trop basse, et de combien. Le procédé comprend le défilement automatique de notes pendant qu'elles sont jouées et la possibilité d'accorder l'instrument.
