Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of educational technology, and particularly to a music education practice system and a method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In the existing field of music education, although there are already some music education practice systems, these systems often have certain technical defects. Traditional music education practice systems usually rely on static sheet music materials, and students need to practice by reading paper or electronic sheet music. This method lacks interactivity and instant feedback, and it is difficult to effectively improve students' music practice ability.

[0003] Specifically, the existing music education practice systems are often limited in obtaining sheet music resources to specific textbooks or sheet music libraries, lacking the integration and utilization of online open-source resources, thus restricting students' opportunities to access and learn diverse music styles. In addition, teachers usually rely on manual operations in music score analysis, which is not only inefficient but also difficult to ensure the accuracy and consistency of the analysis.

[0004] In the student practice session, traditional systems often lack a comprehensive record and instant evaluation of the student practice process. Students can only understand their practice situation through self-perception and oral feedback from teachers. This method is highly subjective and it is difficult to accurately quantify the practice effect and progress of students. At the same time, the lack of an intuitive and visual display method makes it difficult for students to intuitively see their own problems during the practice process, thus affecting the practice effect.

[0005] In terms of display and evaluation, existing systems usually only provide a simple recording playback function and cannot perform dynamic comparison and visual display of the original audio and practice audio. This makes it lack an objective and accurate basis for teachers and students to evaluate the practice effect, and it is difficult to accurately point out the problems and deficiencies in the practice. At the same time, the existing scoring systems are often too simple and rough to comprehensively and accurately reflect the practice level and progress of students.

[0006] In summary, the existing music education practice systems have certain technical defects in aspects such as sheet music resource acquisition, music score analysis, student practice record and evaluation, and display and scoring, and there is an urgent need for a more perfect and efficient music education practice system to overcome these deficiencies.

[0030] I. System Overview The music education practice system of this embodiment aims to provide a comprehensive, efficient, and user-friendly platform to help music learners improve their singing and playing skills through online resources. The core components of the system include a music score library, a teacher unit, a student unit, and a display unit, and each part works together to achieve the collection of music scores, music score analysis, student practice recording, and the display and scoring of practice results.

[0031] II. Specific Implementation of the Music Score Library Data collection module: Use a web crawler written in Python to regularly visit well-known domestic and foreign music websites, forums, and blogs, and automatically capture open-source music scores. The crawler program bypasses the anti-crawler mechanism by simulating user behavior to ensure efficient and legal collection of resources. The collected music scores are saved in formats such as pictures, PDFs, or MIDI.

[0032] Storage Database: MongoDB is used as the storage backend. Leveraging its flexible document storage model, musical score resources in different formats are classified and stored. Meanwhile, Elasticsearch is utilized to provide full-text search functionality, facilitating users to quickly retrieve the required musical scores. The database also has the capabilities of automatic backup and disaster recovery to ensure data security.

[0033] III. Specific Implementation of the Teacher Unit Classification Module: Through OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology, musical scores in picture format are converted into editable text format to achieve the separation of musical notes and lyrics. For PDF and MIDI formats, their internal data structures are directly parsed to extract the audio part and the text part.

[0034] Score Conversion Module: Mode Determination Sub-module: After the user selects the teaching mode (singing or playing), the system automatically determines the scoring point selection strategy based on the musical score information.

[0035] Singing Mode Preparation Sub-module: For the singing mode, the system uses speech recognition technology to match the syllables in the audio part with the lyrics in the text part and marks them as scoring points. Meanwhile, reasonable error ranges are set for each scoring point according to musical elements such as pitch and rhythm.

[0036] Playing Mode Preparation Sub-module: For the playing mode, the system extracts the note sequence played by the instrument through MIDI file parsing as the scoring points. Different scoring criteria and weights are set according to the instrument type and the difficulty of the piece.

[0037] First Cloud Storage Module: Using the AWS S3 cloud storage service, the processed audio signals (i.e., the signals corresponding to the scoring points) and musical score information are packaged and stored to form the original audio files. These files serve as the benchmarks for subsequent scoring and display.

[0038] IV. Specific Implementation of the Student Unit Peripheral Module: Students use peripheral devices such as microphones, electronic keyboards, or guitars to connect to the system client for practice. The client software is responsible for collecting the practice audio and uploading it to the server in real-time.

[0039] Second Cloud Storage Module: After receiving the practice audio, the system server uses tools such as FFmpeg for format conversion and compression, and then packages and stores it in cycles based on the length of each piece of music. Meanwhile, the system records metadata such as practice time and number of times for subsequent viewing and analysis by users.

[0040] V. Specific Implementation of the Display Unit Interaction Module: Using web front-end technologies (such as React or Vue.js), a visual interface is constructed. Users can access it through a browser and see the synchronized dynamic display of the original audio and the practice audio. The first moving track shows the musical score signal of the original audio, and the second moving track reflects the musical score signal of the student's practice audio in real time. Users can perform operations such as dragging the progress bar and zooming the view to view the details of each scoring point in depth.

[0041] Scoring Module: In the system background, through an audio comparison algorithm (such as DTW - Dynamic Time Warping), the musical score signals of the original audio and the practice audio are compared. When signal discrepancies are found (such as pitch deviation, rhythm errors, etc.), points are automatically deducted according to the preset scoring criteria. Finally, the system generates a detailed practice scoring report, including the total score, scores for each scoring point, and reasons for point deductions, etc. Users can understand their practice situation through the report and conduct targeted practice for weak links.

[0042] VI. Summary The music education practice system of this embodiment provides a comprehensive and personalized practice platform for music learners by integrating online music score resources, refined music score analysis, efficient practice recording and storage, and intuitive display and scoring functions. The system not only improves learning efficiency but also enhances the fun and interactivity of learning, helping to stimulate the musical potential and creativity of learners.

[0043] In addition, the present invention also provides a music education practice method, including: Storing online open - source music scores; Conducting music score analysis on the music scores, splitting the music scores into corresponding signal components according to the singing mode and playing mode to form the original audio; Practicing the target music through peripherals, recording every cycle with the length of each piece of music to obtain the practice audio; Visually displaying the original audio and the practice audio with dynamic musical notes, and deducting points when there are signal discrepancies between the original audio and the practice audio to obtain the final practice scoring result.

[0044] In this specification, each embodiment is described in a progressive manner. The key point of each embodiment is to illustrate the differences from other embodiments. For the same or similar parts among the embodiments, reference can be made to each other.
