A simulated musical string instrument formed of plural shaped sheets of rigid material, such as cardboard. There is a top sheet forming a top surface of the simulated string instrument body, and a bottom sheet forming a bottom surface, and multiple sheets between. A simulated fingerboard is attached to the top surface. The top sheet and fingerboard gets stickers that show parts of the simulated string instrument body including openings and notes. There is also a simulated bow guide and a simulated bow.

A music learning aid, comprising: a first rotatable circular substrate having a radius (R1) comprising an in-use first visible circular scale displayed on the first substrate, the visible display comprising a plurality of indicia for indicating corresponding musical notes such that the musical notes indicated in the visible display scale ascend in frequency in a clock-wise or anti-clockwise direction; a second circular substrate having a radius (R3), the second substrate being arranged to be substantially concentric and rotatable relative to the first substrate by the fastening arrangement to enable the second substrate to rotate relative to the first substrates, the second substrate comprising a polygon with vertices of the polygon being located along the circumference of the second substrate, the second substrate comprising respective indicia corresponding to each of the vertices for indicating a respective musical mode selected from a set of a plurality of musical modes.

The present invention relates to a music chords conversion device. The device is used for providing instant representation showing conversion or correlation of major chords to minor chords and vice versa. The device can come in two variants (1) a physical device (2) a digital device. The physical device has a chords conversion component and a minor chords component wherein the minor chords component is configured to slide into the chords conversion component through a cut-out opening. The minor chords can be correlated to the major chords and displayed in a viewing region of the chords conversion component. The digital device includes a memory for storing the chords conversion and also includes a digital display for displaying the converted minor and major chords.

Device and method for teaching/learning music including a board having horizontal lines with spaces therebetween, representing a musical staff. The device includes first insertion slots arranged in the musical staff. The first insertion slots match keys of a keyboard musical instrument. The device includes second insertion slots arranged in parallel to the first insertion slots. Each of the second insertion slots indicates an accidental sign with adjacent first insertion slots. The device includes first pegs configured to insert in the first insertion slots. The device includes second pegs configured to insert in second insertion slots to indicate an accidental sign. The device includes interchangeably clefs individually placed when needed adjacent to the musical staff. The first pegs insert in the first insertion slots, and the second pegs insert in the second insertion slots such that their position indicates a musical tone corresponding to pitch produced by the keyboard musical instrument.

A simulated musical string instrument formed of plural shaped sheets of rigid material, such as cardboard. There is a top sheet forming a top surface of the simulated string instrument body, and a bottom sheet forming a bottom surface, and multiple sheets between. A simulated fingerboard is attached to the top surface. The top sheet and fingerboard gets stickers that show parts of the simulated string instrument body including openings and notes. There is also a simulated bow guide and a simulated bow.

The invention provides a device for music theory comprehension. The device includes a base portion and a first stencil. The base portion includes a plurality of marks. Each mark includes indicia representing a musical note. The first stencil includes a first interior shape, wherein the first stencil and the base portion are selectively positionable relative to each other. At each of a plurality of predetermined positions determined by the plurality of marks, the first interior shape of the first stencil surrounds multiple marks. The multiple marks include indicia representing seven musical notes representing a unique chord family.

A system and method for teaching children in the field of music, and more particularly to teach children to play the piano and read musical notes using physical objects with images of characters assigned to fingers and animals assigned to musical notes, with assigned colors and shapes, and all incorporated within themed environments presented in continuing stories.

A musical notation system is disclosed. The musical notation system comprises: a pitch symbol representing a key of a keyboard instrument, wherein the pitch symbol corresponds to a number representing a pitch in a numbered musical notation system, and is displayed in a first form when representing a white key of the keyboard instrument and in a second form when representing a black key of the keyboard instrument; and a duration symbol representing a duration of the pitch symbol, the duration symbol corresponding to a symbol representing a duration in the numbered musical notation system, wherein the pitch symbol representing the black key of the keyboard instrument is assigned a sol-fa name independent of a sol-fa name of the pitch symbol representing the white key of the keyboard instrument.

An improved music fingering aid has at least one decal fittable overlaying the fingerboard and attachable to the neck of a stringed instrument. The decal includes string identifier indicators, a graduated position indicators series, and a plurality of interval demarcations that employ distinct colors for visual distinction. The indicators do not pair particular notes with particular colors. Instead the improved music fingering aid associates music theory with muscle memory to ensure sounded notes are played in near perfect pitch and, when playing ensemble, in tempered pitch. Contemplation and improved association of music theory is thereby enabled.
