Visualized Comparison as a Correctness Indicator for Music Sight-Singing Learning Interface Evaluation—A Pitch Recognition Technology Study

This paper demonstrated the efficiency of visualized interface for the music sight-singing learning on the Internet. The self-generated visualization on music sight-singing learning system incorporates pitch recognition engine and visualized pitch distinguishing waveforms with descriptions for each corresponding stave notation on the web page to bridge the gap between singing of pitch and music notation. There are three anticipated effects from the design of web-based learning system of self-generated visualization on pitch recognition for the music education in sight-singing: visualizing sight-singing music notes, tuning errors in sight-singing visually with quantified scale, and transforming hearing into vision resulting in individualized sight-singing learning This paper shows the conducted research results that this web-based sight-singing learning system could scaffold cognition about aural skills effectively for the learner through the Internet.
