Abstract

A music composition and training system includes: identifying a first chord of a chord progression. Then, for multiple iterations, the system includes selecting a chord of the chord progression, beginning with the identified first chord, and: identifying one or more potential subsequent chords in such a way that each of the potential subsequent chords provide a musical progression; applying weighted criteria to each of the potential subsequent chords; selecting a second chord based on the weighting while also providing variety and unpredictability; and combining the second chord into the chord progression. The system then uses the generated chord progression to generate or teach music.
