The violin is one of the most popular musical instruments. Various parameters of bowing motion, such as pressure, position, and speed, are crucial for producing a beautiful tone. However, mastering them is challenging and requires extensive…
The violin is one of the most popular musical instruments, but mastering it requires a significant amount of practice time. The bowing action (pressure, position, speed) of the right hand is crucial in determining tonal quality, but this is…
This work aims to improve our understanding of the resonance wood and to investigate the interactions between their physical-mechanical properties, natural variability, and the violin makers' ways of choosing their materials. In order to…
Of all the characteristics of a violin, those that concern its shape are probably the most important ones, as the violin maker has complete control over them. Contemporary violin making, however, is still based more on tradition than…
Many musical instruments, as for example woodwind instruments, flute or violins, are self-sustained oscillating systems, i.e. musician enacts as a continuous energy source to drive an oscillation in the passive resonator, the body of the…
Technology can facilitate self-learning for academic and leisure activities such as music learning. In general, learning to play an unknown musical song at sight on the electric piano or any other instrument can be quite a chore. In a…
Engaging in playful activities, such as playing a musical instrument, learning a language, or performing sports, is a fundamental aspect of human life. We present a quantitative empirical analysis of the engagement dynamics into playful…
We propose a data-driven approach to music instrument practice that allows studying patterns and long-term trends through visualization. Inspired by life logging and fitness tracking, we imagine musicians to record their practice sessions…
We investigate a dynamically adapting tuning scheme for microtonal tuning of musical instruments, allowing the performer to play music in just intonation in any key. Unlike other methods, which are based on a procedural analysis of the…
Since the landmarks established by the Cremonese school in the 16th century, the history of violin design has been marked by experimentation. While great effort has been invested since the early 19th century by the scientific community on…
While musicians generally perform better than non-musicians in various auditory discrimination tasks, effects of specific instrumental training have received little attention. The effects of instrument-specific musical training on auditory…
Motion of the keys was measured in a transverse flute while beginner, amateur and professional flutists played a range of exercises. The time taken for a key to open or close is typically 10 ms when pushed by a finger or 16 ms when moved by…
We present a dynamical model describing a predictable human behavior like the tuning process between singers. The purpose, inspired in physiological and behavioral grounds of human beings, is sensitive to all Fourier spectrum of each sound…
Teaching motor skills such as playing music, handwriting, and driving, can greatly benefit from recently developed technologies such as wearable gloves for haptic feedback or robotic sensorimotor exoskeletons for the mediation of effective…
An experimental study of strings, woodwinds (organ pipe, flute, clarinet, saxophone and recorder), and the voice was undertaken to illustrate the basic principles of sound production in music instruments. The setup used is simple and…
Because of permanent use-dependent brain plasticity, all lifelong individuals' experiences are believed to influence the cognitive aging quality. In older individuals, both former and current musical practices have been associated with…
When playing the clarinet, opening the register hole allows for a transition from the first to the second register, producing a twelfth interval. On an artificial player system, the blowing pressure range where the second register remains…
Automatically generating realistic musical performance motion can greatly enhance digital media production, often involving collaboration between professionals and musicians. However, capturing the intricate body, hand, and finger movements…
This study analyzes how vibrato changes with finger position along the cello string. Examining 94 excerpts, we found moving the finger toward the bridge strongly increases acoustic vibrato depth ($\rho=0.6902$, $p=1.408\cdot 10^{-14}$).…
Jazz music that swings has the fascinating power to elicit a pleasant sensation of flow in listeners and the desire to synchronize body movements with the music. Whether microtiming deviations (MTDs), i.e. small timing deviations below the…
