Digital Musical Instruments (DMIs) are musical instruments typically composed of a control
surface where user interaction is measured by sensors whose values are mapped to sound …

Computational approaches for modelling expressive music performance have produced
systems that emulate music expression, but few steps have been taken in the domain of …

Acquisition of instrumental gestures in musical performances is a field of increasing interest
with applications in different areas ranging from acoustics and sound synthesis to motor …

Learning violin is a challenging task requiring execution of pitch tasks with the left hand
using a strong aural feedback loop for correctly adjusting pitch, concurrent with the right …

Classical music performers use instruments to transform the symbolic notationof the score
into sound which is ultimately perceived by a listener. For acoustic instruments, the timbre of …
