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.

Method, device, system and apparatus for creating and/or selecting exercises for learning playing a music instrument

Embodiments of systems and methods pertain to providing a session of music learning to a user, comprising: setting a sound capturing configuration relating to at least one microphone of a computerized device; providing the user with musical notations to be executed through the user for generating user-generated sound; capturing, through the at least one microphone, sound which includes user-generated sound produced by the user to produce user-generated sound data; processing the user-generated sound data; and determining, based on the processing of the user-generated sound data, whether a sound capturing configuration is to be adapted or not.

Method and apparatus for an adaptive and interactive teaching of playing a musical instrument

Embodiments pertain to a method for use with a musical piece, or part thereof, comprising: presenting, by at least one client device to a plurality of users, a corresponding plurality of sequences of musical symbols to be cooperatively played by the plurality of users using a plurality of instruments; capturing instrument outputs produced by the plurality of instruments to generate audio data descriptive of the captured instrument outputs; analyzing the audio data for determining a level of correspondence between the captured instrument outputs and the plurality of musical symbols presented to the plurality of users; and presenting, based on the level of correspondence, an adapted or non-adapted sequence of music symbols to at least one of the plurality of players.

A method for online music learning of playing a musical instrument, that may be a string instrument, a woodwind instrument, a brass instrument, a percussion instrument, or vocal (singing) is described. A client device, such as a smartphone or a tablet notifies a person, such as visually by a display or audibly by a sounder, of a sequence of musical symbols that may be part of a musical piece to be played on the musical instrument. The pace or tempo of the notified sequence is adapted according to a stored skill level value of the person and the pace or tempo associated with the musical piece. The client device, monitors, using a microphone(s) in the client device, the errors in the playing of the sequence, and using a predefined accordingly updates the stored skill level value, and accordingly changes the arrangement, pace and/or tempo of the next sequence of musical symbols.

A system and method for improving musical education through use of a game, is provided. The method includes the steps of: receiving electrical signals associated with a musical piece provided by a user of the game; converting the electrical signals into digital samples; and analyzing the digital samples with use of auxiliary information, for purposes of improving signal analysis accuracy, resulting in determining various parameters of the musical piece provided by the user, wherein the auxiliary information is a-priori data related to at least one element selected from the group consisting of a musical instrument being played, a technical environment, the game, and information regarding the user of the game. Visual and/or audio feedback may also be provided to the user regarding the musical piece that they are providing.
