Title:
METHOD FOR TEACHING MUSIC
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2005004030
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
One embodiment of the present invention relates to a method for teaching music to one or more students. The instructor's manual operation of a musical instrument (22) controls in real-time the illumination of guide lamps (30-33) on each student's musical instrument (21-24). This allows the students to visually connect the note to be played with the instructor's verbal instruction and then play the visually indicated note without having to look up at the instructor or a distant display. In another embodiment, the instructor's manual operation of his musical instrument provides a score display of the played note (34-37) on each student's musical instrument. The students can visually connect the played note with the musical notation on the score display. Remote teaching over a communication network is also described as well as a removable interface for the musical instrument to assist in teaching and use of the instrument.
