Goal of this paper is to analyze novices' erhu playing. Erhu is a two-stringed instrument created in China. Hair of stick is located between two strings. Therefore the stick motion is much different from other string instruments such as violin. Firstly, we analyzed erhu playing and clarified parameters to generate noises. Then, we analyzed novices' finger pressures during erhu playing. To achieve...
In this paper is described the process that should be done for developing a interactive tool for supporting the musical learning specifically on how to play a flute on its basics. This device has two main stages, the first one takes over the teaching part and guidance to the student by an software interface and the second one has the responsibility of captured how is being played the flute using a...
It is generally accepted that there are some problems in the aspect of efficiency and fairness in the examination of traditional harmonics teaching method. With the respect to handle these problems, we utilized MIDI technology into chord analysis and developed harmonics aided instruction system - HAIS. In this paper, we first present a calculable chord model based upon MIDI protocol and an evaluation...
Although most students are familiar with computers, very few of them know that they are meeting with embedded computers daily. The aim of our work was to develop an embedded system that is compelling for students with various interests. Thus, we decided to develop a musical instrument. In this paper we present the musical instrument functionality and architecture. We discuss its possible applications...
We present PianoTouch, a wearable, wireless haptic piano instruction system, composed of (1) five small vibration motors, one for each finger, fitted inside a glove, (2) a Bluetooth module mounted on the glove, and (3) piano music output from a laptop. Users hear the piano music and feel the vibrations indicating which finger is used to play the note. We investigate the system's potential for passive...
We propose a hydraulic user interface consisting of an array of spray jets and the appropriate fluid sensing and fluid flow control systems for each jet, so that the device functions as a fluid-based tactile user interface. Our array of fluid streams work like the keys on a keyboard, but where each fluid stream can also provide tactile feedback by dynamically modulating the pressure of the fluid spray,...
