Disclosed are a method, a device and/or a system of a lights-guided piano key learning and teaching device. In one aspect, a piano teaching apparatus includes an elongated enclosure overlaid atop a portion of a set of keys of a piano and a set of lights, each light corresponding with each key of the set of keys respectively. A depth of an underside of the elongated enclosure permits the set of keys to be played in an unobstructed manner. The set of light illuminates when an application of a data processing system communicatively coupled with the piano teaching apparatus communicates a set of instructions synchronized with a musical note of a compilation displayed on the application of the data processing device. The musical note corresponds with a particular light that is directly above a particular key of the set of keys associated with the musical note.

An approach is provided for encoding musical information according to a music notation based on color. The approach involves designating a base octave of a musical note range comprising a plurality of octaves; wherein the base octave comprises a sequence of musical notes, the sequence of musical notes repeating in each of the plurality of octaves. The approach also involves representing the sequence as a set of colors, wherein each color of the set is unique to each note in the sequence of musical notes, wherein the music notation comprises representing a musical note as a shape that is colored according to the set, and wherein the shape is augmented with a modification of the set of colors, a symbol, or a combination thereof to indicate that the musical note is in the base octave, a lower octave than the base octave, or a higher octave than the base octave.

A musical score display device is provided, the device include a display section to display musical score representing a predetermined piece of music; a memory to store the musical score; an input section to transmit document of the musical score into the memory; a wireless transmitter module to transmit signal of turning pages of the score; a wireless receiver module to receiver the signal of turning pages of the score; a controller that control the display section, the memory, the input section and the wireless receiver module. The device can be easily operated when playing the music.

A display device displays a musical score image where musical notes indicative of individual tones or sounds constituting a music piece are arranged on a time axis and pitch axis. Pitch information indicative of one or more pitches is acquired in response to an operation on a keyboard, and a note matching any one of the one or more pitches indicated by the acquired pitch information is identified from among the notes included in the musical score image. When any note has been identified as matching any one of the one or more pitches indicated by the acquired pitch information, a display style of the matching note is changed. Only when no note has been identified as matching any one of the one or more pitches indicated by the acquired pitch information, a display mode of a portion of the musical score image other than the notes is changed.

A learning device assembly for a stringed instrument includes one or more light strip members, at least one light element in the one or more light strips, a connecting member electrically connected to the one or more light strip members, a controller electrically connected to the connecting member and configured to electrically drive the at least one light element in the one or more light strip members and a computing device communicatively coupled to the controller, the computing device configured to be programmed with or more music arrangements and enable the controller to illuminate one or more of the at least one light element in the one or more light strip members to enable a playing of one or more music arrangements on the stringed instrument.

In one aspect, provided herein is a device for notating a musical composition. The device, in various implementations, is structured so as to be less laborious to notate, easier to read, and more simple to employ in notating, reading, and/or playing the music of a given composition to be composed and/or played. Accordingly, in its most basic form, the device herein disclosed includes a template, upon which template one or more symbols may be notated, where such notation is configured in a manner that more closely relates the note to be played with the mechanical action needed to be performed so as to play that note, such as on an instrument to be or being played.

Described herein are to frameworks and methodologies configured to enable real-time adaptive delivery of skills training data based on monitoring of user performance data. Embodiments of the invention have been particularly to enable real-time control over a performance instruction user interface (for example in terms of rate), and/or control over delivery of media data (for example in terms of rate and/or pan/zoom position).

A digital sight-singing piano is disclosed with a fixed-solfge keyboard, continuous keys and adjustable tones by kneading piano keys, wherein the key can be varied continuously and the frequency of a piano key can be slightly adjusted by kneading the piano key during playing. The keyboard of the digital sight-singing piano has fixed solfge, wherein no matter what key is used for playing, the piano keys in a solfge key set always have the same correspondence to the solfge syllables of the numbered musical notation in one octave. A color graphic vector numbered musical notation is also disclosed, wherein extended solfge is used to describe pitch, different colors are used to indicate the positions of the piano keys to press, notation frames with fixed width are used to represent the beat unit, and font (i.e., bold or not) of musical notes are used to show the strength of pressing piano keys. The color graphic vector numbered musical notation is suitable for computer-aided notation. It can be exhibited in several different types and provide multi-dimension playing information. The color graphic vector numbered musical notation can also be combined with the fixed-solfge keyboard to facilitate sight-singing and make it easy to learn to play the piano.

For each sound of a model performance, performance information designating a sound generation timing and sound and intensity information indicative of an intensity of the sound are supplied. In accordance with a progression of a performance time and for each sound of the model performance, the intensity information is acquired ahead of the sound generation timing, and the intensity of the sound is presented based on the acquired intensity information. The intensity of the sound is presented in a visual or audible manner. In this way, a human player who receives sound-intensity-related performance operation training can know, through a visual display and/or an audible sound, an intensity of each sound of the model performance before the sound generation timing of the sound. As a result, the human player can practice the performance while being aware of the intensity of each sound of the model performance.

The present invention discloses a system comprising a method and apparatus that integrates learning across interchangeable, multiple literacies and provides a means for increasing simultaneous literacy acquisition density. Information acquired through multiple senses results in more information acquired faster and with longer retention possible. The system presents information selectively through one or more sensory pathways, then interprets behavioral responses to this information, analyzing the responses qualitatively and quantitatively. Tracked and stored data is applied over various learning environments to develop individual learner profiles. In this way, the specific sensory pathways that an individual learner responds to can be optimized and specifically tailored for enhanced learning performance.
