Research Abstract

The training system of reading musical notes was developed by using a personal computer with a touch-panel display. Once a user touched a musical note on the display, a correct tune sounded and the name of the note was announced by synthesized voice at the same time. When this system was actually used for patients of dementia at a session of music therapy, fundamental problems became clear. Although operation of a system is easy for the patients, memorizing the operation was impossible because of dementia. They must learn the operation from the beginning at each time. We succeeded in development of the system but the range of clinical application was restricted.
