SYSTEME D'APPRENTISSAGE POUR UN INSTRUMENT A CORDES, EN PARTICULIER UNE GUITARE La présente invention concerne un système d'apprentissage pour un instrument à cordes, en particulier une guitare. The present invention relates to a learning system for a stringed instrument, in particular a guitar.
L'apprentissage de la guitare implique la mémorisation des accords, et du placement des doigts sur les 10 cordes. Learning the guitar involves memorizing the chords, and placing the fingers on the 10 strings.
L'invention vise à faciliter ce travail de mémorisation pour un joueur débutant ou occasionnel. On connaît dans l'état de la technique plusieurs solutions. The invention aims to facilitate this work of memorization for a beginner or casual player. Several solutions are known in the state of the art.
L'une d'entre fait appel à une réglette 15 présentant les notes, munie d'un curseur permettant de visualiser la position des doigts sur les cordes en fonction d'un accord sélectionné. Ce dispositif, connu sous le nom de "réglette de Daddy", et dont une variante est décrite dans la demande de brevet américain US2002/0096036 et certes une aide 20 utile, mais nécessite un effort important pour traduire le positionnement indiqué par la réglette, la formation de l'accord sur l'instrument. One of them uses a ruler 15 presenting the notes, provided with a cursor to display the position of the fingers on the strings according to a selected chord. This device, known under the name of "Daddy ruler", and a variant of which is described in the US patent application US2002 / 0096036 and certainly a useful aid 20, but requires a significant effort to translate the positioning indicated by the ruler, the formation of the agreement on the instrument.
On a proposé d'autres solutions, consistant à coller sur un manche d'un instrument à corde une bande 25 longitudinale autocollante. Une telle solution est décrite dans le brevet US6128603 ou US6452080. Cette solution n'est pas totalement satisfaisante car la bande longitudinale recouvre les barrettes d'une guitare et fausse la musicalité de l'instrument. Alternative solutions have been proposed, of sticking a sticky longitudinal band on a handle of a corded instrument. Such a solution is described in US6128603 or US6452080. This solution is not entirely satisfactory because the longitudinal band covers the bars of a guitar and distorts the musicality of the instrument.
On a également proposé une solution consistant à coller des pastilles sur le manche de la guitare. Cette solution décrite dans le brevet américain US3978756 n'est pas non plus satisfaisante car elle est source d'erreur. En effet, le nombre important de pastilles à coller multiplie les risques de positionnement erroné. Par ailleurs, les pastilles de marquage recouvrent la totalité de la surface de la case. It has also been proposed to stick pellets on the neck of the guitar. This solution described in US patent US3978756 is also not satisfactory because it is a source of error. Indeed, the large number of pellets to be bonded increases the risks of incorrect positioning. In addition, the marking pellets cover the entire surface of the box.
Le but de la présente invention est de proposer une solution remédiant à ces inconvénients. The aim of the present invention is to propose a solution that overcomes these disadvantages.
A cet effet, l'invention concerne selon son acception la plus générale un système d'apprentissage pour un instrument à cordes, en particulier une guitare caractérisé en ce qu'il est constitué par une pluralité d'éléments 10 présentant chacune inférieure à la distance entre deux barrettes consécutives et une largeur sensiblement égale à la largeur du manche, lesdits éléments présentant des marquages pour repérages des notes. For this purpose, the invention relates, in its most general sense, to a learning system for a stringed instrument, in particular a guitar characterized in that it consists of a plurality of elements each having a distance of less than 10 cm. between two consecutive bars and a width substantially equal to the width of the handle, said elements having markings for marking notes.
Selon une première variante, lesdits éléments 15 sont constitués par des languettes autocollantes. According to a first variant, said elements 15 consist of adhesive tongues.
Selon une deuxième variante, lesdits éléments sont constitués par des pochettes autocollantes et des languettes destinées à être insérées dans lesdites pochettes. According to a second variant, said elements are constituted by adhesive pouches and tabs intended to be inserted into said pouches.
De préférence, lesdits éléments présentent des 20 hauteurs correspondant sensiblement à la moitié de l'intervalle entre deux barrettes adjacentes. Preferably, said elements have heights substantially corresponding to half the interval between two adjacent bars.
Selon une variante, les éléments comportent des marquages d'un premier type pour les notes en dièse et des marquages d'une deuxième type pour le marquage des bémols, et 25 des marquages d'un troisième type pour les autres notes. According to one variant, the elements comprise markings of a first type for the sharp notes and markings of a second type for the marking of flat keys, and markings of a third type for the other notes.
L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui suit, concernant un exemple non limitatif de réalisation illustré par la figure unique. The invention will be better understood on reading the description which follows, relating to a nonlimiting example of embodiment illustrated by the single figure.
Le système d'apprentissage est constitué par une 30 pluralité d'éléments collés sur le manche (1) d'un instrument à corde, en l'occurrence une guitare. Chacun des éléments est collé dans la case définie par l'espace du manche compris entre deux barrettes (2). The training system is constituted by a plurality of elements glued to the handle (1) of a stringed instrument, in this case a guitar. Each element is glued in the box defined by the space of the handle between two bars (2).
Ces éléments (3) sont constitués par des languettes autocollantes présentant sur l'une des surfaces un marquage sous la forme: du nom des notes (notation internationale ou 5 allemande) correspondant aux cordes sur lesquelles le doigt doit s'appuyer, au niveau de la case correspondante ou d'une forme graphique, par exemple d'un point de couleur différente pour chaque note, avec une correspondance avec la couleur de la note utilisée pour la 10 partition du morceau à jouer ou encore de la forme graphique d'une note sur une partition. These elements (3) are constituted by self-adhesive tabs having on one of the surfaces a marking in the form of: the name of the notes (international or German notation) corresponding to the strings on which the finger must rest, at the level of the corresponding box or a graphic form, for example a different color point for each note, with a correspondence with the color of the note used for the score of the piece to play or the graphic form of a note on a score.
Ces éléments peuvent également être réalisés par la combinaison de pochettes auto-adhésives et transparentes, 15 dans lesquelles seront insérées les languettes portant les These elements can also be achieved by the combination of self-adhesive and transparent pouches, in which will be inserted the tabs bearing the
inscriptions correspondante.corresponding inscriptions.
Chaque élément (3) présente une largeur correspondant à la largeur du manche de l'instrument. Each element (3) has a width corresponding to the width of the handle of the instrument.
La hauteur de chaque élément (3) diffère, en 20 fonction de la dimension de la case correspondante. The height of each element (3) differs according to the size of the corresponding box.
La hauteur peut être égale à la dimension de la case, ou être inférieure de façon à être ajustée le long de la barrette supérieure. The height may be equal to the size of the box, or be smaller so that it is adjusted along the upper bar.
Les languettes présentent des marquages 25 correspondants aux différentes notes, avec des couleurs différentes pour les marquages correspondants au bémols (4) et d'une couleur différente (5) pour les dièses. The tabs have markings corresponding to the different notes, with different colors for markings corresponding to flat (4) and a different color (5) for sharps.
Lorsque les languettes présentent une dimension 30 inférieure à la taille de la case. Elles laissent ainsi apparaître une partie de la frette non recouverte par la languette, dans la partie inférieure de la case. Cette zone non recouverte correspond à la zone recommandée pour l'appui du doigt. When the tabs have a dimension less than the size of the box. They thus leave part of the fret not covered by the tongue, in the lower part of the box. This uncoated area corresponds to the area recommended for finger support.
L'absence de marquage conduit instinctivement l'utilisateur à poser son doigt plutôt sur cette zone que sur la partie supérieure de la case présentant la languette. The absence of marking instinctively leads the user to put his finger rather on this area than on the upper part of the box with the tab.
