T-RHYTHM: A System for Supporting Music Learning Using Tactile Feedback

A system called T-RHYTHM that supports individual learners playing or singing in an ensemble is proposed. A learner using T-RHYTHM is not confused by other learners’ performances, because he/she is given his/her own rhythm through tactile feedback. A rhythm of each learner is extracted based on a performance by an accompanist and transmitted to his/her tactile device via a wireless communication.
