Rule-based Interactive Learning Application Model on How to Play Music Instruments

Abstract

This research aims to develop an interactive application to support people learning to play music instruments of orchestra music. Gamelan, a traditional music orchestra from Java, Indonesia was used as the object study. A model of gamelan orchestra learning application was proposed to support an easy way to learn how to play gamelan music instruments. Rule-based method was used to develop an interactive system to learn gamelan music instru-ments. The system was implemented into an application which supports us-ers in independently learning to play orchestra music instruments, especially in remembering notes sequences and playing the note according to the tem-po. An experiment involving two groups consisted of control and treatment groups were conducted to evaluate the proposed learning model. The results shows that the averages skill value of the members of the treatment group were higher than the members of the control group.

Interactive Creation and Performance of Digital Music Based on Virtual Reality Technology

“…Several studies have explored Virtual Gamelan, but none have used VR technology. For instance, Smart Gamelan for smartphones used VR to simulate instrument placement and analyze frequency distribution for sound identification [15] [16].…”

Immersive and Challenging Experiences through A Virtual Reality Musical Instruments Game: An Approach to Gamelan Preservation

“…Virtual Gamelan has been developed in several studies but has not utilized VR technology, for example, [14] developed Smart Gamelan for smart phone platform, [15] developed a Gamelan simulation game based on augmented reality, [16] implemented VR on Gamelan in order to utilize interactive features to simulate the placement of Gamelan instruments to analyze frequency distribution in order to facilitate the identification of instrument sounds.…”

“…A focus group discussion conducted to formulate instrument playing techniques resulted in an agreement to implement the note-playing automation algorithm proposed by [14], where the time tolerance to play the current note faster than the formal time is -328 milliseconds of the current millisecond, and the time tolerance to play the current note slower than the formal time is +246 milliseconds of the current millisecond. The algorithm works by calculating the time tolerance in playing the note, which is the time that is not too fast or not too slow in based on its formal time.…”

Design and Application of Interactive Music Equipment Based on Wireless Wearable Sensors

“…is allows the fibers of the double-coated yarn as a carrier to have a range of tensile strains and to be used in wearable devices to ensure good comfort. Also, the preparation method is extremely simple and the raw materials are cheap and easily available, which can significantly reduce the cost of sensors applied to wearable devices [19].…”
