CA 2048658

In a method of and means for producing musical note relationships there is provided an array of staggered lines or rows (1) of symbols, in which each symbol represents a musical note. Each line (1) comprises a repeated series of twelve symbols forming a musical series of semi-tones known as a chromatic scale, and each line is staggered with respect to adjacent lines such that groups of the symbols which represent the same musical note relationship, such as intervals, scales, chords, etc, from the same visual configuration, for example diagonal configurations (6 to 9) or vertical configurations (14 to 19), at respective locations in the array. This specific arrangement of the symbols enables the same musical note relationship to be easily identified in different keys and thus facilitates the learning and remembering of the musical note relationships. Thus, in one embodiment, a device including means bearing such an array may be used as a learning aid comprising two overlapping members slidably movable relative to each other. Alternatively the contact positions of a keyboard of a keyboard musical instrument or a fingerboard of a stringed musical instrument may be arranged in accordance with the array, thereby facilitating the playing of the instrument by simplifying the finger positions required to form the musical note relationships in different keys.

Dans un procédé et un moyen de production de relations de notes de musique, on a prévu un réseau de lignes ou de rangées (1) étagées de symboles, dans lesquelles chaque symbole représente une note de musique. Chaque ligne (1) comporte une série répétée de douze symboles formant une série musicale de demi-tons connue en tant qu'échelle chromatique, et chaque ligne est étagée par rapport à des lignes adjacentes de sorte que des groupes des symboles représentant la même relation de notes de musique, telle que des intervalles, des gammes, des accords, etc, forment la même configuration visuelle, par exemple des configurations diagonales (6 à 9) ou des configurations verticales (14 à 19), à des endroits respectifs dans le réseau. Dans un mode de réalisation, on peut utiliser un dispositif comprenant un moyen portant ledit réseau comme aide d'apprentissage comprenant deux éléments se chevauchant mobiles de manière coulissante l'un par rapport à l'autre. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, on peut agencer les positions de contact d'un clavier d'un instrument de musique à clavier ou une touche d'un instrument de musique à cordes, en fonction dudit réseau.
