Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to comparing a musical score model to a captured performance of the musical score, calculating a degree of similarity between the musical score model and the captured performance based on the comparison, and automatically evaluating the captured performance based on the degree of similarity and musical score degree of difficulty determined as a function of the musical score entropy. In an illustrative example, a musician may be learning to play the musical score. The musical score may be modelled, for example, based on pitch, volume, and rhythm, permitting comparison to the captured performance of the musical score. In some examples, the musical score degree of difficulty may be adapted based on the captured performance evaluation. Some embodiments may generate musical scores based on the captured performance evaluation. Various examples may advantageously provide corrective instruction based on the degree of difficulty and the captured performance evaluation.
