“…One way to assist and motivate a learner during practice time is through technology enhanced learning applications. In a survey on computer assisted musical instrumental tutoring (Percival et al, 2007) note the importance of making the students' individual practice time more efficient by helping the students with the task of self-analysis. A considerable number instrument tutoring systems have appeared during the past decades with approaches such as gamification (e.g., Klapuri et al, 2017) as well as augmented instruments (Pardue, 2017).…”

Virtuosity in music performance is often associated with fast, precise, and efficient sound-producing movements. The generation of such highly skilled movements involves complex joint and muscle control by the central nervous system, and depends on the ability to anticipate, segment, and coarticulate motor elements, all within the biomechanical constraints of the human body. When successful, such motor skill should lead to what we characterize as fluency in musical performance. Detecting typical features of fluency could be very useful for technology-enhanced learning systems, assisting and supporting students during their individual practice sessions by giving feedback and helping them to adopt sustainable movement patterns. In this study, we propose to assess fluency in musical performance as the ability to smoothly and efficiently coordinate while accurately performing slow, transitionary, and rapid movements. To this end, the movements of three cello players and three drummers at different levels of skill were recorded with an optical motion capture system, while a wireless electromyography (EMG) system recorded the corresponding muscle activity from relevant landmarks. We analyzed the kinematic and coarticulation characteristics of these recordings separately and then propose a combined model of fluency in musical performance predicting music sophistication. Results suggest that expert performers' movements are characterized by consistently smooth strokes and scaling of muscle phasic coactivation. The explored model of fluency as a function of movement smoothness and coarticulation patterns was shown to be limited by the sample size, but it serves as a proof of concept. Results from this study show the potential of a technology-enhanced objective measure of fluency in musical performance, which could lead to improved practices for aspiring musicians, instructors, and researchers.

“…Angklung pada umumnya dikenal di wilayah Jawa Barat yang merupakan lokasi asalnya. Sejak bulan November tahun 2010, UNESCO mencatat alat musik itu sebagai salah satu dari sekian banyak warisan kebudayaan di dunia, dengan golongan dan diakui berkategori Masterpiece of Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity kala itu [2,3,4]. Angklung merupakan alat musik yang terbuat dari beberapa pipa bambu dengan berbagai ukuran yang dilekatkan pada sebuah bingkai bambu.…”

The introduction of angklung music especially for deaf students is done by replacing numeric notes with various hand movements by the teacher. It takes two teachers to produce harmonious music with one teacher focusing on melody and the other teacher focusing on chords. However, hand movements are still limited to ordinary notes. The teacher's hand movements do not yet include the crescendo and decrescence notes. In addition, if one of the teachers is unable to attend, it cannot produce a harmonious music. To overcome this, multimedia-based angklung learning aids and android-based applications are made, where multimedia allows an angklung game to be carried out without the help of a trainer. So that it can replace the score that is usually designated by a trainer, it can be replaced with an animated color change (colouring score) when the angklung tone is played. In this study using the Development Research method, the procedures in this study are (1) determining the concept (concept), (2) Media Design (Design), (3) Material Collection (Material Collecting), (4) Manufacturing Process (Assembly) , and (5) (Testing) .In this study identified the needs of users (trainers and angklung players), designing application story boards that are used as a reference at the implementation stage.This learning activity does not replace the role of the trainer, but only as a media alternative in carrying out angklung training activities.

“…Multimedia and e-learning conferences also have music training and education works presented (Percival, Wang, and Tzanetakis 2007;Nakano, Goto, and Hiraga 2007;Ng 2008;Ng, Nesi, and McKenzie 2008). Robine, Percival, and LaGrange (2007) and Schoonderwaldt, Askenfelt, and Hansen (2005) address several other performance aspects, such as dynamics, rhythm, and articulation.…”

One of our most beloved music teachers emphasized the importance of "facing the music," by which he meant listening to recordings of our playing. As with the first hearing of one's voice on a recording, many of us were both surprised by and suspicious of this external perspective. Despite sometimes revealing more than we are ready to hear, this exercise has the long-term effect of helping us to "hear ourselves as others hear us." Thus armed, we initiate practice habits that, perhaps over many years, move our music-making toward a state we would admire hearing from another player.
