METHOD OF TRAINING AND EVALUATING RINGER QUALIFICATION Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC G09B15/00 G10K1/00 

FIELD: music.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to methods of learning to play musical instruments and is intended for training and evaluating qualification of ringers, playing in musical orchestras, in church and temple bell-towers. It is achieved by the fact that a training place of the ringer, having a given number of strings for controlling tongues, sensors of impact force of tongues with their limit stops and sound generators, included in the software-hardware system, which fixes ringer actions and generates synthesized sounds. At the specified frame randomly or in compliance with layout selected to simulate a bell-tower, brackets are installed, on which tongues are suspended, tongues have preset location, size, weight and swinging-free travel to the limiter, made in the form of a ring or a ring segment the specified size. Tone and timbre of the specified number of generated sounds is selected and is set in the software-hardware system from its library of sounds. And the volume of their sounding is higher, when impact of the tongue with the limit stop, including an impact sensor, is stronger, impact sensor transmits a signal in the software-hardware system for evaluating the impact force and generating a sound signal of corresponding tonality, timbre and volume. Synthesised sound is reproduced and adjusted according to the volume simultaneously from all sound generators or on a case by case basis by preset number of sound generators and/or with filtration of preset sound frequencies through external speakers and/or headphones. Musical compositions of the ringer are recorded and/or reproduced for listening and analysis of fragments or as a whole separately, or with multilayering the sound sample – a training task. Proposed method ensures the creative nature of training, wherein the student is relaxed, he is not shy, is not afraid to make mistakes and he improvises and experiments with pleasure. And it allows to fulfill quickly his potential and to form the required skills, detect of individual "handwriting" and evaluate its learning ability in the selected activity. This method differs from known methods with new properties, it allows to increase efficiency of training and evaluating qualification of ringers by obtaining conditions and data that were not available before.

EFFECT: technical result of the proposed method is higher efficiency of training, improving and evaluating skills of the ringer.
