  • Method and system for teaching music
    Patent number: 6751439
    Abstract: An interactive on-line music training system for teaching music to students comprises a Student Station, a Teacher Station, and an Administrative Web Server connected over a communications network. The Student Station includes a computer which is integrated with a MIDI device (e.g. MIDI keyboard). The Administrative Web Server maintains a database for storing data related to the Student's performance. The Student uses the MIDI device to interact with the music course. As the Student traverses the music course, lessons and activities as well as the applicable MIDI files are downloaded from the Administrative Web Server to the Student Station's computer. The Student's responses to exercises are stored as a MIDI file on the student computer. Upon completion of a lesson, an activity is presented to the Student.
