Abstract
Systems and methods for simplifying music rhythms based on multiple criteria are provided herein. A user inputs a musical selection, or chooses one from an existing library of musical selections, and inputs a player proficiency level. The user then receives a music notation selection that has been adjusted to display rhythms that are appropriate for that player's proficiency level. The system is capable of receiving information and adjusting music notation arrangements in real time.
Claims20
A computer-enabled method of simplifying music rhythms comprising the steps of:
- receiving, from a database storing a plurality of digitally-encoded musical selections, a musical selection in accordance with a user choice;
- receiving, from the user, a target proficiency to which the chosen musical selection is to be adjusted, the target proficiency characterized by at least one simplification rule selected from the group consisting of a minimum note duration, a combination rule, and a beat-shifting rule;
- and
- adjusting notes and rests of the chosen musical selection having rhythmic values inconsistent with the target proficiency to rhythmic values consistent with the at least one simplification rule.
1 more element
A rhythm simplification system, comprising:
- a database storing one or more digitally-encoded musical arrangements;
- an input device;
- a processor operatively coupled to the input device and the database;
- and
- a memory storing a set of executable instructions, which;
- when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- receive, from the input device, a selection of one of the one or more digitally-encoded musical arrangements;
- retrieve the selected musical arrangement from the database;
- receive, from the input device, a target proficiency to which the selected musical arrangement is to be adjusted, the target proficiency characterized by at least one simplification rule selected from the group consisting of a minimum note duration;
- a combination rule, and a beat-shifting rule;
- and
- adjust the notes and rests of the selected musical arrangement having rhythmic values inconsistent with the target proficiency to rhythmic values consistent with the at least one simplification rule.
