Description:

Music theory is one of the most difficult aspects of music. A lot of new musicians, and students of the art, struggle with the theory especially with music notation. This proposal seeks to bridge the gap between music performance and theory/notation, to aid our young musicians in their craft.
This project aims to design a device to be able to record and print music directly onto a music score-sheet (or some other form of music notation to help musician) via analogue-instrumental performance.
Currently, automated Scorewriter’s are only implemented on digital instruments (computerized music studios/software, MIDI).
Our general idea for the scope of this project is to have an analogue input of the music signal (via mic) with a signal conditioning cct, and then either signal analysis and output via Embedded system or directly to computer software for display. 

Other features may include (dependant on time limitations): 

- Standing chord detection.
- Key detection of played piece.

Type:

Undergraduate

Outcome:

Implementation of a device that prints score (or a modified form of notation) from instrumental performance (whether via computer screen or some other form).
