ABSTRACT:
A system for instruction in the manipulation of the chord portion of a keyboard of a musical instrument in 3-4 or 4-4 time includes uniquely written music which provides a student with an identity of the root note of each chord to be played and the timing (but not necessarily the identity) of the corresponding chord triad to follow the root note. In conjunction with the music, an apparatus senses the depression of the root note key by the student, provides a sustained confirming identification of that note, and provides the identity (but not the timing) of the triad notes. The indication is retained until a different note key is depressed. The apparatus is useful independently of the written music or keyboard instrument to demonstrate the 5-2-1 system of fingering chords as set forth in U.S. Pat. No. 3,335,630.
