Abstract
Aiming to instruct the novice in good playing of musical instruments, tutors need to teach the students how to practice certain fingering for certain notes sequence, which typically is the most difficult skill for a beginner to learn. In this paper, we illustrate a virtual piano tutoring system. The system takes a MIDI event sequence as input and displays the suggested result by a 3D virtual pianist, demonstrating the automatically generated “good” fingering for the learner to imitate.
