ABSTRACT:
An electronic musical instrument has a voice-inputting function. Voice information and performance information are input to the instrument. The instrument stores performance data therein. Each item of performance data stored is sequentially read out. The next item of performance data is read out when it is determined that at least one of the voice information and performance information being given agrees with each item of performance data sequentially read out. The instrument includes a plurality of operating elements for performance. Display devices are provided for the operating elements, respectively. When voice input is detected, one of the display devices, corresponding to one of the plurality of operating elements, is lighted, which corresponds to the pitch name of the detected voice. When voice input ends, the light in the display device is turned off. The instrument sequentially stores the voice information being sequentially read out in another operating mode. A player is notified of one of the plurality of elements to be operated, which corresponds to an item of the stored voice information read out. The next item of the stored voice information is caused to be read out, when the item of the stored voice information read out agrees with an item of pitch information of a musical tone for performance.
