Method and apparatus for an adaptive and interactive teaching of playing a musical instrument

A method for teaching of playing of a musical instrument to a person identified by a person identifier, for use with a client device that comprises a microphone and a display and with a server device that communicates over a communication network with the client device, for use with a first database that associates a respective skill level value to user identifiers, and for use with a second database that comprises multiple sequences of musical symbols, each of the sequences is associated with a respective pace, the method comprising:

• determining, by the server device by using the first database, a first skill level value associated with the person identifier;
• selecting, by the server device, a first sequence of musical symbols that is associated with a first pace, from the second database;
• sending, by the server device to the client device, the selected first sequence of musical symbols and the first pace;
• receiving, by the client device from the server device, the selected first sequence of musical symbols and the first pace;
• displaying, to the person by the display in the client device, the received first sequence of musical symbols, at a second pace that is lower than the first pace and is based on the first pace and on the first skill level value;
• capturing, by the microphone in the client device, a sound from the musical instrument;
• sending, by the client device to the server device, a digital representation of captured sound;
• receiving, by the server device from the client device, the digital representation of the captured sound;
• analyzing, by the server device, the captured sound and checking whether the captured sound matches the first sequence of musical symbols;
• determining, by the server device, the amount of musical symbols in the first sequence that do not match with the captured sound;
• and
• updating, by the server device, the skill level value associated with the person identifier in response to the amount of the musical symbols that do not match with the captured sound.
