Analysis of guitar performances for automatic score generation and matching

Recent advances in online technologies are changing the way we approach musical instruments teaching. The diversity of online music resources has increased through the availability of digital scores, video tutorials and music applications, creating the need for a cohesive, integrated learning experience. The Novaxe project proposes an online learning environment that allows master-apprentice or self-taught learning, using interactive and collaborative tools. It offers a new guitar notation that guide the learner not only on what to do but on how and why to do it. This notation is complement with multimedia recordings, allowing learners to access different dimensions of the performance of a score. The proposed internship implies the creation of analysis tools for the performance of a musician. It will permit guitar teachers to create scores automatically while playing and learner to receive feedback on their performance instantly. These two features will greatly improve both the master and the apprentice experience by providing them intuitive tools to interact with the platform.
