    摘要: Embodiments pertain to a system configured to provide a music learning session to a user. The system comprises a memory for storing data and executable instructions; and a processor that is configured to execute the executable instructions to result in performing the following steps: presenting the user with a representation of a musical piece to be played by the user with a music instrument; receiving an audio signal relating to an instrument output provided by the music instrument played by the user; and determining a level of correspondence between the received audio signal and the representation of the musical piece presented to the user. The steps may further comprises identifying an audio signal portion for which a determined level of correspondence does not meet a correspondence criterion; and determining an error characteristic for the identified audio signal portion.

    摘要: A simulated musical string instrument formed of plural shaped sheets of rigid material, such as cardboard. There is a top sheet forming a top surface of the simulated string instrument body, and a bottom sheet forming a bottom surface, and multiple sheets between. A simulated fingerboard is attached to the top surface. The top sheet and fingerboard gets stickers that show parts of the simulated string instrument body including openings and notes. There is also a simulated bow guide and a simulated bow.

    摘要: A method for learning music scale theory includes utilizing a music theory-based card game. A plurality of cards forms a deck, each card representing a predetermined music note according to a 7-note system. One or more players are dealt cards to make a hand. Players draw cards from a draw deck or a discard pile, and discard cards to the discard pile, until a player creates a sequence of cards in the player's hand that corresponds to a complete musical scale or mode.

    摘要: A chord and/or note assist assembly includes a chord and/or note forming aid having a plurality of multi-position string engaging assemblies that engage strings of a guitar in a controlled manner so as to define chords associated with playing a guitar and an extension device having a plurality of multi-position string engaging assemblies that engage strings of a guitar in a controlled manner so as to define chords associated with playing a guitar. An electronic microprocessor circuit board is electrically linked to a solid-state memory to control the plurality of multi-position string engaging assemblies of both the chord and/or note forming aid and the extension device.

    摘要: A method of teaching keyboard instruments involves placing semi-permanent plates on specific keys of the keyboard, providing tactile stimulation which will develop muscle memory and confidence in playing correct notes. Different textures and colors may be employed to help differentiate plates and associated keys from others. Placement of plates on keys is to be determined by the instructor in consideration of the student's needs. Placement may be made on one or multiple keys, which may include an entire middle octave. Texturing may be a subtle as Braille characters or more bold designs and individual shapes of the plates may be flat or may be shaped to facilitate hand posture. Colors may be associated with specific notes on the grand staff to provide a visual aid. Finger adornments may also be used to aid in color correspondence. Plates may be held onto piano keys by utilizing either wet or dry adhesives.

    摘要: The present disclosure is related to systems and methods for assisting a user in practicing a smart musical instrument. The method includes obtaining a real-time image of the user playing the smart musical instrument. The method also includes obtaining information associated with a current key being pressed and information associated with a plurality of reference fingerings from the smart musical instrument. The method also includes displaying the real-time image in real-time. The method also includes determining whether a current fingering associated with the current key being pressed matches with a reference fingering, of the plurality of reference fingerings, associated with the current key being pressed. In response to a determination that the current fingering associated with the current key being pressed does not match the reference fingering, the method further includes generating a reminder. The method still further includes displaying the reference fingering corresponding to the current fingering.

    摘要: Measures (for example, methods, systems and computer programs) are provided to evaluate a percussive performance. Percussive performance data captured by one or more sensors is received. The percussive performance data represents one or more impact waveforms of one or more hits on a performance surface. The one or more impact waveforms are analysed. The analysing comprises: (i) identifying one or more characteristics of the one or more impact waveforms; (ii) classifying the one or more hits as one or more percussive hit-types based on the one or more characteristics; and (iii) evaluating the one or more percussive hit-types against performance target data. Performance evaluation data is output based on said evaluating.
