A computer‐based multi‐media tutor for beginning piano students

Abstract

The Piano Tutor provides computer‐based instruction to beginning piano students. Intended as a supplement to traditional instruction, the Piano Tutor helps students by correcting mistakes before they become ingrained through practice and by teaching new material as soon as the student is ready. The Piano Tutor combines an expert system with state‐of‐the‐art music recognition software and multimedia output devices to provide a stimulating learning environment that tailors instruction to the student's needs.
