Abstract:
1. A music displaying apparatus comprising: a voice input device to obtain voice data concerning singing of a user; singing characteristic analysis programmed logic circuitry for analyzing the voice data to calculate a plurality of singing characteristic parameters which indicate a characteristic of the singing of the user; music piece related information storage medium for storing music piece related information concerning a music piece; comparison parameter storage medium for storing a plurality of comparison parameters, which are to be compared with the plurality of singing characteristic parameters, so as to be associated with the music piece related information; comparison programmed logic circuitry for comparing the plurality of singing characteristic parameters with the plurality of comparison parameters to calculate a similarity between the plurality of singing characteristic parameters and the plurality of comparison parameters; selection programmed logic circuitry for selecting at least one piece of the music piece related information which is associated with a comparison parameter which has a high similarity with the singing characteristic parameter; a display to display information based on the music piece related information selected by the selection programmed logic circuitry, wherein music piece genre similarity data storage medium for storing music piece genre similarity data which indicates a similarity between the music piece and the music genre; and voice genre similarity calculation programmed logic circuitry for calculating a similarity between the singing characteristic parameter and the music genre, wherein
