Many of those who practice the piano have once touched the instructional books such as "Bayer" I think. However, there are many people who are disgusted with repetition practice which will repeatedly repeat "tadpoles" lined up in the score ... .... A system "PIANO" that may solve such a problem is invented.

A colorful bar displayed on the top board of the electronic piano, instead of musical score. The image of the projector that is irradiated from above is projected, although it is not actually drawn.


The bar is designed to flow toward you, and the player can play the song by pressing a keyboard accordingly. Also, the pressed keyboard is supposed to shine. It is all images from the projector.


In the case of chords this will also be displayed.


There are three modes of "Listen", "Practice" and "Play" in this system, and it is possible to use it according to the stage of the player.


In "Listen" mode, the piano is automatically played along with the falling bar, allowing you to grab the image of the song.


In addition, there are various types of bars, and they represent various performance symbols. From the upper left, note length, legato symbol, staccato symbol, trill in the lower row, decorative sound, and color-coded fingering are displayed, and the player plays accordingly.


After you grasp the image of the song, next you will enter "Practice" mode.


In this mode, the bar falls according to the player's performance. Because you can play at your own tempo, you can learn the sound while checking one by one.


When you play the wrong sound, it will be displayed in red and will tell you the wrong thing.


Once you can play it, this time you are in the "Play" mode with an arm. In this mode, the bar falls as the song progresses, so you must play it accordingly.


Even fast passages make it easier to grasp the image if you look at the bar.


After playing, the screen instructions and the comparison of your performance are displayed, which can be used as a reference for performance.

It is this PIANO system that seems to be worried about "I can not read the score", but I'd like to expect that the hurdle of "music" will be lowered and the entrance to the world of music will be expanded.
