Computer-Assisted Musical Instrument Tutoring with Targeted Exercises

Type: thesis

Authors: Graham Keith Percival

Abstract
Learning to play a musical instrument is a daunting task. Musicians must execute unusual physical movements within very tight tolerances, and must continually adjust their bodies in response to auditory feedback. However, most beginners lack the ability to accurately evaluate their own sound. We therefore turn to computers to analyze the student’s performance. By extracting certain information from the audio, computers can provide accurate and objective feedback to students.
