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.

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.

Playback, recording, and analysis of music scales via software configuration. In an embodiment, a graphical user interface is generated with staff and keyboard canvases, visually representing a music staff and keyboard, respectively, a scale input, parameter input(s), and a play input. In response to selection of a scale, the staff canvas is updated to visually represent the notes in the scale. In response to the selection of a musical parameter, the staff canvas and/or keyboard canvas are updated to reflect the musical parameter. In response to selection of the play input, a soundtrack of the scale is output, while simultaneously highlighting the note, being played, on the staff canvas and the key, associated with the note being played, on the keyboard canvas.

Embodiments pertain to systems and methods for providing a singing learning session to a user. The system may be configured to receive an audio signal relating to vocal sounds produced by a user and determine, based on the received audio signal, a vocal range estimate for the user. The system presents the user with musical information in accordance with the determined vocal range estimate. Musical information may for example include musical notations, background music, symbols descriptive of the vowels and/or consonants to be sung by the user.

A method and system for indicating musical notations for at least one user to execute, including: presenting the at least one user with musical notations on a presentation device, the musical notation to be executed through the user; receiving an audio signal relating to an instrument played and/or vocal output generated by the at least one user; analyzing the received audio signal to obtain an analysis output; and selecting a section of the musical notation, wherein the section contains a musical note coinciding with the received audio signal and which is descriptive of a temporal interval having a longer duration than the coinciding note played through the user.

Measures (for example, methods, systems and computer programs) are provided to evaluate a percussive performance. Percussive performance data captured by one or more sensors is received. The percussive performance data represents one or more impact waveforms of one or more hits on a performance surface. The one or more impact waveforms are analysed. The analysing comprises: (i) identifying one or more characteristics of the one or more impact waveforms; (ii) classifying the one or more hits as one or more percussive hit-types based on the one or more characteristics; and (iii) evaluating the one or more percussive hit-types against performance target data. Performance evaluation data is output based on said evaluating.

A system and method for providing music teaching tools, and more specifically, a system and method for providing a color-coded music theory and guitar note teacher is disclosed. The system includes a note finder fret board for guitar, a domino editor for creating a visual representation of a sequence of musical notes using the note finder fret board, the domino editor manipulates a color-coded domino for each musical note in the sequence of musical notes, a music staff reader for transforming a sequence of musical notes represented in a music staff representation into the visual representation of a sequence of musical notes using the note finder fret board, and a music staff generator for transforming a sequence of musical notes represented in the visual representation of a sequence of musical notes using the note finder fret board a music staff representation into the music staff representation. The note finder fret board for guitar is a color-coded fret board representation having a one of a plurality of color codes assigned for each guitar string at each fret on a guitar, the each of the plurality of color codes correspond to musical note on a musical scale, a color coded set of color-coded dominos corresponding to a set of musical scales associated with each musical key.

In a musical performance support system including a sensor device that is attached to a musical instrument and an operation device that is able to perform wireless communication mutually with the sensor device and is able to perform communication with an instructor terminal of an instructor via a server, the sensor device transmits a detection signal detected by an acceleration sensor that has at least to detection axes to the operation device, the operation device generates practice result information of musical performance of a user using the musical instrument and transmits the practice result information to the server, and the operation device receives guidance information in response to the practice result information from the instructor terminal through the server and causes display means to display the guidance information.
