Abstract

Flute beginners often suffer from rhythmic errors as they may play a note longer or shorter than its correct duration. Sometimes, the rhythms written in the music sheets are too complicated for them to comprehend. Flute beginners may lose their interests when they keep performing unsatisfactorily. This paper describes the development a mobile e-learning application for flute learners to train their rhythmic skills and help them learn flute fundamentals so that they can play a new song in a better way with fewer mistakes. This application focuses on helping users to learn rhythmic skills and sight reading. The rhythms that the learners have played will be recorded, recognized and analyzed. Comments and improvement tips will be provided to the learners according to the weaknesses found. Relevant results of sight reading exercises will be used to find out the errors that the individual learner have made so as to improve his/her performance.
