Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of music education equipment, and in particular relates to an interactive staff notation teaching tool. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of education, many schools are now equipped with music teaching aids. However, the existing teaching aids are still not perfect in teaching. Teachers need to combine music teaching aids, improve students' learning interest, and cultivate students' hobbies. This can help to improve students' learning abilities, cultivate their imagination and creativity, promote their mental flexibility, and make them fall in love with music learning.
[0003] Traditional music instruction typically uses generic instruments without any markings or instructions, posing significant challenges for young children, especially when they have no prior knowledge of musical notation. Forcing them to memorize notes is tedious and can easily lead to a loss of interest in music. Traditional staff notation relies on hand-drawing, which is inefficient and prone to errors. While magnetic staff boards combined with absorbent note cards (such as folding magnetic boards and flexible storage bags) simplify operation, they lack dynamic interactivity and their reliance on physical folding for storage may affect long-term stability. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an interactive musical notation teaching aid that combines musical notation with a sound-generating device. This aid is intuitive and easy to understand, effectively improving the current problem of low efficiency in musical notation teaching and providing dynamic interactivity for musical notation teaching.
[0005] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0006] This utility model provides an interactive musical notation teaching aid, including: a stand and a sound-generating device;
[0007] The support includes: a piano support bracket and a base. The piano support bracket consists of two symmetrical cylindrical structures, which are positioned at a 70-80° angle to the base and connected to the symmetrical axis of the base. The base is a disc-shaped structure.
[0008] The sound-generating device includes: a sound-generating zither and a striking device, wherein the striking device and the sound-generating zither are respectively disposed on two sides of the zither support, and the number of the sound-generating zither and the striking device correspond to each other.
[0009] In this utility model, the piano support bracket is provided with several through mounting holes, and the sound-producing piano pieces are fixedly installed on the piano support bracket by means of bolts, the bolts being T-shaped structures; a cotton pad with an O-shaped structure is provided between the sound-producing piano pieces and the piano support bracket; and the sound-producing piano pieces are arranged in parallel.
[0010] In this invention, the sound-producing piano piece is provided with two colors, black and white, and the two colors are alternately arranged along the length of the piano support.
[0011] In this invention, the sound-producing pegs are arranged in order of pitch, with the lowest pitch placed at the bottom of the peg holder and the highest pitch placed at the top of the peg holder. The frequency difference between adjacent sound-producing pegs is distributed according to the twelve-tone equal temperament. The lowest pitch of the sound-producing pegs is C4 and the highest pitch is F5. The length of the sound-producing pegs gradually decreases as the pitch increases.
[0012] In this invention, the piano support bracket is a telescopic rod with a hollow internal structure, and its extended length can cover all pitch ranges; symmetrical spring buckles are provided on both sides of the piano support bracket, and the piano support bracket extends and is fixed in length by means of the spring buckles.
[0013] In this invention, the striking device includes an elastic cord and a striking note. The striking note is an elliptical-shaped object, comprising an elliptical portion and a planar portion. The planar portion has a diameter of 3 cm and a through hole with a diameter of 0.1 cm along its length. The planar portion of the striking note faces outward, and the elliptical portion faces the sound-producing plectrum. The striking note is slidably or rotatably mounted on the elastic cord through the through hole. The elastic cord is sleeved on a plug, and the plug is fixedly installed on the piano support bracket.
[0014] In this invention, the sound-producing piano pieces are arranged at equal intervals along the length direction of the piano support, and the length direction of the sound-producing piano pieces is approximately perpendicular to the length direction of the piano support.
[0015] In this invention, the striking notes are of two types: one type has only color, with different pitches corresponding to different colors; the other type not only has color, but also has note names on the flat surface.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0017] The interactive staff notation teaching aid of this utility model adopts a modular structure, and all the instrument components used are detachable, so teachers can adjust the device according to the students' learning needs.
[0018] The striking device in this invention differs from the striking method in traditional xylophone music teaching aids. Instead of producing sound through striking, it produces sound by snapping the elastic string together, increasing the fun during use. The arrangement of the sound-producing pieces also differs from the horizontal placement in traditional xylophone music teaching aids. By arranging them vertically and using black and white colors to simulate the structure of a musical staff, the teaching of musical notation becomes more intuitive.
[0019] In this invention, the xylophone piece extends in the vertical space, unlike traditional xylophone teaching aids which are mostly placed horizontally. This reduces the space required during actual operation and avoids the cumbersome nature of horizontally placed xylophones.
[0020] Traditional xylophone teaching aids only strengthen students' recognition of the seven notes do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, and si, without combining the learning of musical notes with the memorization of the staff. This invention directly simulates the staff lines on the xylophone's pegs, allowing students to combine the recognition of musical notes with the memorization of the staff during the learning process, thereby strengthening students' learning and construction of the staff when they first encounter it.
