Abstract

An apparatus is provided, for calculating a practice time. The apparatus is used by a user to calculate such practice time that he/she requires to improve his/her playing technique to reach a predetermined progressing level at the playing technique. In the apparatus, a progressing-level evaluating unit evaluates a progressing level of a playing technique of the user who operates a playable unit. A history of the evaluated progressing level is recorded in a progressing-level recording unit. An operation-number counting unit counts the number of operations executed on the playable unit by the user every unit time. A history of the counted number of operations is recorded in an operation-number recording unit. A practice-time calculating unit calculates the practice time based on the history of the progressing level recorded in the progressing-level recording unit and the history of the number of operations recorded in the operation-number recording unit.
