Abstract
A performance assistance apparatus includes a sound generator circuit and a processor. In response to detection of a sound generation timing, the processor determines whether or not the sound indicated by the user performance information matches the sound designated by the model performance information in association with the sound generation timing. Based on determination that the sound indicated by the user performance information does not match the sound designated by the model performance information, the processor causes the sound generator to audibly generate an assist sound relating to the sound designated by the model performance information.
