Abstract: A method is presented that allows feedback to be given on a musical performance without restrictions on the performance in terms of quality of intonation, tempo, or specific note order. Based on standard musical exercises, the ability to rate a performance is tolerant to repeated and/or omitted notes, to varying tempo and to systematic tuning errors. The method is suitable for use on mobile devices and may provide real-time feedback to allow the performer to adjust their performance or monitor their progress during the performance. Since a wide range of proficiency is able to be rated to give an indication of how well the performer executed a musical exercise this allows very inexperienced musicians to feel a sense of accomplishment when practicing outside the teaching environment as well as giving more accomplished musicians the feedback they need for continuous improvement.

Abstract translation: 提出了一种方法，其允许在音乐表演上给出反馈，而对语音质量，速度或特定音符顺序的性能没有限制。 基于标准的音乐练习，对性能进行评估的能力是容忍重复和/或忽略的音符，改变速度和系统调谐错误。 该方法适用于移动设备，并且可以提供实时反馈以允许表演者在演出期间调整其性能或监视其进度。 由于广泛的熟练程度能够被评为能够表现出演奏家执行音乐演出的表现，这使得无经验的音乐家在实践教学环境之外感觉到成就感，以及给予更多成就的音乐家反馈 他们需要持续改进。

Abstract: A game facilitating teaching of music reading and learning in a fun way includes a pair of blinding glasses which completely deprive a wearer of sight, seven cubes having a magnet at their centers and engraved musical notes on some of their sides. A musical staff having palpable lines and spaces allowing for the receipt of a plurality of staff note pieces to designate musical scales or chords. A timing device offers the possibility of increasing the difficulty of game play by limiting the amount of time a participant has to complete an arrangement of game pieces.

Abstract: A game system displays an operation instruction sign corresponding to each piece of operation timing and an operation reference sign corresponding to current time in a time ordering array along a route in one of operation guide domains, generates a relative displacement according to a time progress of the game such that the operation instruction sign is matched with the operation reference sign in the operation timing, and switches the route in which the relative displacement is generated between the operation guide domains according to a predetermined condition. Also, the game system includes sequence data having operation timing corresponding to one of the operation guide domains and operation timing corresponding commonly to the operation guide domains. And, the game system controls display of the operation instruction sign corresponding to each piece of operation timing such that continuity of the relative displacement is maintained before and after switching of the route.
