An electronic musical apparatus for training to play the apparatus in
correct timing comprises a play timing notifying device which notifies
reference time points in a music progression for operating the apparatus
to play music, an operation detecting device for detecting each of
player's operations on the apparatus as a player operates the apparatus
with reference to the reference time points, a time deviation detecting
device for detecting a time deviation of each of the player's operations
from corresponding one of the reference time points, a tolerance range
setting device for setting a tolerance range with respect to each of the
reference time point by taking into consideration a plurality of the past
detected time deviations, the tolerance range being for evaluating
whether a detected time deviation falls within the tolerance range or
not, and a tone generation control device which controls generation of
tones for the player's operations differently according to whether each
detected time deviation falls within the tolerance range or not. The
tolerance range is set automatically based on the plurality of past
detected time deviations. The tolerance range is divided into an advance
margin and a delay margin about the reference time point, which two
margins are preferably set separately. The detected time deviations are
shown on a display screen in reference to the reference time points.
