In this paper, a rhythm instruction tool for school children using vibration devices is discussed. The proposed system called T-RHYTHM is for supporting individual children in playing musical instruments or singing, in solo or ensemble situations. T-RHYTHM provides each child with rhythm patterns of musical pieces through tactile senses, and supports her so that she can recognize her own rhythm without being confused by other children's performances or singing voices. The rhythm of the music given to individual children is determined based on a performance by an accompanist and transmitted to their own vibration devices via a wireless communication. We have evaluated T-RHYTHM in a music class in a Japanese elementary school and gained initial feedback from children and their teacher.
