Despite many practical limitations imposed by mobile device platforms and application execution environments, vocal musical performances may be captured and continuously pitch-corrected for mixing and rendering with backing tracks in ways that create compelling user experiences. In some cases, the vocal performances of individual users are captured on mobile devices in the context of a karaoke-style presentation of lyrics in correspondence with audible renderings of a backing track. Such performances can be pitch-corrected in real-time at a portable computing device (such as a mobile phone, personal digital assistant, laptop computer, notebook computer, pad-type computer or netbook) in accord with pitch correction settings. In some cases, pitch correction settings include a score-coded melody and / or harmonies supplied with, or for association with, the lyrics and backing tracks. Harmonies notes or chords may be coded as explicit targets or relative to the score coded melody or even actual pitches sounded by a vocalist, if desired.

A music based video game in which a game player's singing performance is digitally sampled while the player performs a free-form vocal over a prerecorded musical composition. Aspects of the game player's free-form vocal performance are compared with predetermined criteria. For example, the vocal performance may be compared with tempo and key information to generate performance evaluation data. The performance evaluation data may be used to present performance feedback to the game player while the game player is singing.

Provided is a music practice supporting appliance, which receives an input of sounds of a musical instrument, vocal music, and the like and acquiring and displaying deviation of those sounds inputted by a practicing person from preset reference sounds with high precision so that a change in the deviation is easier to grasp for the practicing person than in the case of a conventional music practice supporting appliance. In the music practice supporting appliance, a musical interval of an input signal of sound inputted in a signal input unit (1) is detected by a musical interval detecting unit (6), and a sound volume thereof is detected by a sample-and-hold unit (8). The detected pieces of data are displayed on a display unit (11). Since the musical intervals and the sound volumes of the sounds of the musical instrument can be objectively displayed, the display is useful in practices of playing the musical instrument. Also, by storing the data in a memory unit, practiced contents can be confirmed later.

The invention, whichrelates to the field of vocal music breathing practice tools, discloses a vocal music breath training instrument comprising a scale rod, a placing groove formed in the scale rod, afirst falling pipe arranged in the placing groove, a transverse column communicated with the bottom of the first falling pipe, second falling pipes arranged at the two ends of the transverse column,a load bearing box connected to the bottoms of the second falling pipes, an extending hole formed in the outer side of the inner bottom of the load bearing box, a bottom column arranged in the middleof the inner bottom face, a supporting column rotating on the bottom column, a containing groove formed in the top end of the supporting column, and breathing devices detachably arranged on the opposite sides, close to two vertical rods, of the load bearing box. With thefirst falling pipe in the placing groove, the transverse column and the second falling pipes, small balls and the like can be added into the load-bearing box to enhance the respiratory exercise resistance, so that corresponding exercises are made for respiratory foundations of different people. The breathing devices are arranged on the opposite sides, close to the two vertical rods, of the load bearing box and thus two persons can compare the breathing forces, so that the subjectivity and fun of breathing training are improved.

An embodiment is related to automatic summarization for digital audio raw data (12), more specifically, for identifying pure music and vocal music (40,60) from digital audio data by extracting distinctive features from music frames (73,74,75,76), designing a classifier and determining the classification parameters (20) using adaptive learning / training algorithm (36), and identifying music into pure music or vocal music according to the classifier. For pure music, temporal, spectral and cepstral features are calculated to characterise the musical content, and an adaptive clustering method is used to structure the musical content according to calculated features. The summary (22,24,26,48,52,70,72) is created according to clustered result and domain-based music knowledge (50,150). For vocal music, voice related features are extracted and used to structure the musical content, and similarly, the music summary is created in terms of structured content and heuristic rules related to music genres.

A user interface apparatus for displaying areas having vocal or instrumental unit signals that are included in an input musical tone signal. Display locations, for display on a display screen that has a localization-frequency plane, are calculated for the input musical tone signal based on localization information of each frequency band. Then, the primary level distributions, in which the levels of the frequency band corresponding to each display location are expanded and obtained using a specified distribution in each of the frequency bands, is calculated. The secondary level distribution is calculated in this manner by aggregating the frequency bands for each respective display location. Said secondary level distribution is displayed in three dimensions (the localization axis, the frequency axis, and the level axis) and viewed from the level axis direction. Therefore, the areas, in which the vocal or instrumental units exist in a grouped state, can be easily identified.

The invention discloses a vocal music teaching singing skill detection system. The invention specifically relates to the technical field of music teaching detection. The system comprises a server fordata processing and analysis, the output end of the server is connected with a student end for singing students to operate; the input end of the student terminal is connected with a sound acquisitionmodule used for audio recording, a throat detection module used for detecting the throat position condition during singing, and a body cavity detection module used for detecting the body cavity breathing opening condition during singing. The output end of the server is connected with a sound evaluation module used for sound comparison, detection and evaluation and a skill evaluation module used for evaluating singing skills in combination with collected throat data and body cavity data. According to the invention, sound evaluation is carried out through the sound evaluation module, the skill evaluation module compares the physical sign information with standard singing physical sign information, singing skill evaluation is carried out, the evaluation result is more accurate, and subsequenttargeted practice is facilitated.
