Music everywhere - augmented reality piano improvisation learning system
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the design and implementation of an augmented reality (AR) piano learning tool that uses a Microsoft HoloLens and a MIDI-over-Bluetooth-enabled electric piano. The tool presents a unique visual interface—a “mirror key overlay” approach—fitted for the AR environment, and opens up the possibility of on-instrument learning experiences. The curriculum focuses on teaching improvisation in blues, rock, jazz and classical genres. Users at the piano engage with interactive lessons, watch virtual hand demonstrations, see and hear example improvisations, and play their own solos and accompaniment along with AR-projected virtual musicians. The tool aims to be entertaining yet also effective in teaching core musical concepts.

Studies have shown that individual practice is frequently not very productive due to limited feedback and students lacking interest and motivation. In this paper we explore the use of augmented reality to create an immersive experience to improve the efficiency of learning of beginner piano students. The objective is to...
متن کاملAndante: Walking Figures on the Piano Keyboard to Visualize Musical Motion
We present Andante, a representation of music as animated characters walking along the piano keyboard that appear to play the physical keys with each step. Based on a view of music pedagogy that emphasizes expressive, full-body communication early in the learning process, Andante promotes an understanding of music rooted in the body, taking advantage of walking as one of the most fundamental hu...

An immaterial digital keyboard is presented, aiming at testing possibilities to substitute physical with augmented piano keys during the performance. The main effort has been made around the realization of an accurate meanwhile fast detection of the hands movement. To achieve this goal we have tested low-cost infrared as well as ultrasonic capture devices, whose current pros and cons are presen...
متن کاملExpressive Control of Indirect Augmented Reality During Live Music Performances
Nowadays many music artists rely on visualisations and light shows to enhance and augment their live performances. However, the visualisation and triggering of lights in popular music concerts is normally scripted in advance and synchronised with the music, limiting the artist’s freedom for improvisation, expression and ad-hoc adaptation of their show. We argue that these limitations can be ove...
