The system has three main control functions, tempo, time signature and beat pattern, and volume, which produce a synthesized speech pattern that is effective in instructing beginning students to learn to follow tempo, time signature and beat pattern.
1 is indicated in parentheses and the connection to each of the pins of the integrated circuit are identified by a number which appears within the functionally labeled rectangular box. The part number for the preferred integrated circuit for implementing each of the functions performed within the labelled blocks of the schematic diagram of FIG. 1 illustrates a schematic of a music teaching apparatus 10 in accordance with the invention. It is for this reason that many music teachers discourage their beginning students from purchasing metronomes because they realize that they will be of little practical use and are therefore a non-productive expense in learning to play music.įIG. It may be that the inability of music students to successfully use a metronome as an aid in playing music at a selected tempo, time signature and beat pattern stems from the lack of training of beginning music students to carefully listen to the metronome or a feeling of nervousness or pressure consequent from requesting the student to carefully listen to a non-voice pattern and to play along with it. The beginning student typically finds it difficult or impossible to listen to the sound patterns produced by a conventional metronome as an aid to playing music at a desired tempo, time signature and beat pattern.

The inventor has observed during his professional experience of teaching music that a conventional metronome, which produces a periodic non-voice sound pattern calibrated in beats per minute, is not often useful for teaching beginning music students to learn to play at a desired tempo, time signature beat pattern which is conventionally indicated on sheet music.
