Abstract: A method and apparatus for learning to play a musical instrument, such as a guitar, by incorporating a markable, erasable surface onto the neck of the instrument such that the student may apply, as needed, removable markings to the instrument that indicate the correct finger positions for playing the instrument. The incorporation of this markable, erasable surface onto the instrument is an improved method of learning because a student is better able to place his or her fingers in the correct positions on the instrument when learning how to play the instrument.

Abstract: The present invention is a continuation-in-part of the inventor's prior invention (USPTO application Ser. No. 11/277,502 filed on 26 Mar. 2006), the added feature being a “Grand Staff reference marking” added to a row of the “staff of gray and white pitch stripes” of the prior invention, the said marking comprising one or more set of Grand Staff of five lines, the Grand Staff clef or clefs, with each Grand Staff line pointing or connected to a corresponding correct “white pitch stripe”. Such “Grand Staff reference marking” feature enables the precise identification of the pitch stripes relative to their corresponding keys on the piano keyboard, and in terms of pitch names commonly used by students of music theories. The pitch names of all other pitch stripes can be easily derived from its physical location in relation to those pitch stripes connected to or pointed to by the lines of the “Grand Staff reference marking”.

Abstract translation: 本发明是发明人的先前发明（2006年3月26日提交的美国专利商标局第11 / 277,502号申请）的部分继续申请，附加​​的特征是将“大员工参考标记”添加到 “现代发明的灰白条纹的工作人员”，所述标记包括一组或多组五条线的大型工作人员，大员工派克或兵库，每个大员工线指向或连接到相应的正确的“白色 节奏条纹“。 这样的“大员工参考标记”功能使得能够相对于钢琴键盘上的对应键以及音乐理论学生通常使用的音高名称来精确地识别音高条纹。 所有其他节距条纹的音调名称可以从其与“大员工参考标记”的线连接或指向的那些音调条纹的物理位置很容易地得出。

Abstract: A method that facilitates the learning process of musical note reading which is exhibited in a series of written exercises. Musical notes and letters of the alphabet are arranged in a specific order on musical staffs that consist of five horizontal lines. Each staff begins with a musical clef and is often, but not always, separated into segments by vertical lines. When each note is correctly identified and translated into the appropriate letter of the musical alphabet, either a, b, c, d, e, f, or g, the answers, in combination with the letters printed, will form recognizable words.

Abstract translation: 一种便于在一系列书写练习中展现的音符阅读的学习过程的方法。 音乐笔记和字母表的字母按照特定的顺序排列，由五条水平线组成的音乐人员。 每个工作人员都会从音乐谱头开始，而且经常但并不总是以垂直线分成几段。 当每个音符被正确识别并被翻译成音符中的适当字母a，b，c，d，e，f或g时，答案与打印的字母相结合将形成可识别的单词。

Abstract: A teaching aid for students of the piano and other keyboard instruments to assist the student in learning keyboard fingering, note reading, scale tone names, the association of the scale tones with note position on the musical staff and on the keyboard, and the repetitive nature of the musical scale as revealed in the consecutive octave structure of the keyboard. The assembly comprises a rigid panel to which are mounted several groups of selectively exposable strips and panels and a rotatable disc, the panels, strips and discs displaying various arrays of intercorrelated musical indicia, with one of the groups of panels having certain of the musical data thereon deleted, to be filled in by the student.

Abstract: A plastic template is disclosed with elongated slots and circular holes in it. The template can be put on a piece of paper and by running pencil through the various slots, all of the scales, chords, and intervals can be produced on the paper to form a guide. The guide can then be moved along the space between the keys and the fallboard of the piano, so that all of these scales can be played by anyone placing their fingers on the keys indicated by the lines on the guide.The edge of the template has small notches in it, so that marks can be made for the lines for music staves which can then be drawn. The template has circular holes in it above the slots. The circles can then be used by placing them over these lines and then marking them with a pencil to indicate various notes of the given musical structure.

Abstract: A music instruction apparatus. The apparatus includes a support frame (13), a plurality of blocks (22) in rotating connection with the support frame. The blocks are organized in an array pattern of thirteen rows (101-113) and eight columns (121-128). Each of the blocks has a first side (30) that includes indicia representative of a music note (32). When the blocks are oriented such that the first sides of each block are viewable, each row displays music notes that correspond to a major music scale. A subset of the blocks in each row have a second side (34) that include indicia (36) representative of music notes that are a half step in tone away from the first note on the corresponding block. By rotating a selection of blocks to their second sides, the music notes of a minor scale which corresponds to the major scale can be displayed. Each block also has blank side (51). By rotating a selection of the blocks to the blank side, the music notes that correspond to a chord can be displayed. By changing the blocks to display different scales and chords, the apparatus enables a student to interactively practice constructing chords and scales.
