Introduction: Children with cochlear implants (CIs) may experience few opportunities for positive musical experiences, and musical perception is therefore often not sufficiently developed. This paper investigates and discusses the relationship between intelligence quotient (IQ) and musical ability in children with CIs compared with children with normal hearing.                                  ...

Tonality is an important aspect of musical structure. Detecting key of music is one of the major tasks in tonal analysis and will benefit semantic segmentation of music for indexing and searching. This paper presents an HMM-based approach for segmenting musical signals based on key change and identifying the key of each segment. Classical piano music was used in the experiment. The performance,...
