Abstract: Embodiments pertain to a system configured to provide a music learning session to a user. The system comprises a memory for storing data and executable instructions; and a processor that is configured to execute the executable instructions to result in performing the following steps: presenting the user with a representation of a musical piece to be played by the user with a music instrument; receiving an audio signal relating to an instrument output provided by the music instrument played by the user; and determining a level of correspondence between the received audio signal and the representation of the musical piece presented to the user. The steps may further comprises identifying an audio signal portion for which a determined level of correspondence does not meet a correspondence criterion; and determining an error characteristic for the identified audio signal portion.

Abstract: Embodiments pertain to a method for use with a musical piece, or part thereof, comprising: presenting, by at least one client device to a plurality of users, a corresponding plurality of sequences of musical symbols to be cooperatively played by the plurality of users using a plurality of instruments; capturing instrument outputs produced by the plurality of instruments to generate audio data descriptive of the captured instrument outputs; analyzing the audio data for determining a level of correspondence between the captured instrument outputs and the plurality of musical symbols presented to the plurality of users; and presenting, based on the level of correspondence, an adapted or non-adapted sequence of music symbols to at least one of the plurality of players.

Abstract: A method and system for indicating musical notations for at least one user to execute, including: presenting the at least one user with musical notations on a presentation device, the musical notation to be executed through the user; receiving an audio signal relating to an instrument played and/or vocal output generated by the at least one user; analyzing the received audio signal to obtain an analysis output; and selecting a section of the musical notation, wherein the section contains a musical note coinciding with the received audio signal and which is descriptive of a temporal interval having a longer duration than the coinciding note played through the user.

Abstract: A method for online music learning of playing a musical instrument, that may be a string instrument, a woodwind instrument, a brass instrument, a percussion instrument, or vocal (singing) is described. A client device, such as a smartphone or a tablet notifies a person, such as visually by a display or audibly by a sounder, of a sequence of musical symbols that may be part of a musical piece to be played on the musical instrument. The pace or tempo of the notified sequence is adapted according to a stored skill level value of the person and the pace or tempo associated with the musical piece. The client device, monitors, using a microphone(s) in the client device, the errors in the playing of the sequence, and using a predefined accordingly updates the stored skill level value, and accordingly changes the arrangement, pace and/or tempo of the next sequence of musical symbols.

Abstract: A system and method for accelerating web page delivery is disclosed in one embodiment. Web requests are made to an edge server of a first point of presence (POP) of a content delivery network (CDN). The web content can be cached at the edge server in the first POP. Where the cache is missing the web content, it is queried from a second POP determined to be closer to the origin server for the web content. The second POP can have its own cache or request the web content from the origin server. Only missing components from the web content are passed to the first POP. Additionally, the missing components can be compressed.
