Two-dimensional display section is provided near a keyboard, and, in
accordance with performance data, this display section is caused to
effect a dynamic display moving, in a given two-dimensional trajectory,
from a first display position corresponding to a key to be currently
depressed to a second display position corresponding to another key to be
next depressed. Thus, a human player can readily intuitively predict the
key to be next depressed and depression timing of the next key, in
accordance with the display drawing a so-called bouncing-ball-like
two-dimensional trajectory that appears as if a ball were bouncing.
Further, with a performance guide by the non-conventional or novel
bouncing-ball-like two-dimensional trajectory display, the human player
can enjoy continuing to play the keyboard, without getting bored, as if
the player were following a bouncing ball.
