When learning to sing or play an instrument, the student must learn how to produce each note and connect that note with its visual representation on a music staff. This is a simpler task with instruments that have many physical keys, such as flute, clarinet, and other woodwinds, but becomes increasingly difficult in brass instruments, fretless string instruments, and voice. I plan to produce a piece of software that will display an image of a music note on a staff to the user and ask the user to play that note. The software will analyze the input and give feedback regarding whether the note they played matches what was displayed.
