Abstract :
Automatic music transcription (AMT) refers to the ability of computers to write note information, such as the pitch, onset time, duration, and source of each sound, after listening to the music. Our application scenario is computer-assisted, musical-instrument tutoring, where the user has to practice most of the time without human coaching. The target users of our initial system are beginning violin students and singing students who are comfortable with computers. After consulting with a professional violin teacher and collaborators from our University´s Conservatory of Music, we tried the following three strategies to build a system that can be tested by users.
