Abstract
Piano player needs various kinds of techniques such as correct keying and fingering. However, Lighted keyboards, which are the most commonly used piano learning support, have several problems, such as the difficulty of understanding fingering information and keying sequence, not having fingering check function. To enhance the learning of the keying technique and the fingering technique, the goal of our study is to construct a piano learning support system that has a fingering check function using a real-time fingering recognition technique. We discuss the presentation methods to indicate information for piano performance such as fingering and keying information effectively. We have developed a prototype system, and evaluated its effectiveness by actual use of the system.
