introduction

solfege ear training for child and adults, reconize music notes from nao as a teacher, three levels beginner, intermediate, advanced please read the file readme attached before starting

This app is a small solfege ear training for child and adults people, to reconize music notes by ear, very useful for music ear training,it works in french and english, it is an alpha version i hope to have a lot of contributions and criticism to help me for fixing bugs and advise

i use the new dialog topics. So all the sentences and keywords can be viewved easely and changed in the dialogs topic enu & frf with these you can change all the dialogs to your own language or improve the dialogs

i suggest to read the dialog topic file before starting, it will help you to notice the keyword used for the app

I apologize because i am beginner in nao and also beginner in python, so i will be very happy for help from anybody to make a better app

for the moment, i am 10% of my goal to make a really good solfege ear training, so it will take time to build a real good app (until v2 or more), i plann to do it next year with all the feedback and testing in real life to build a good application

there are three levels in this app: beginner : reconize music notes on the medium octave without sharp and flat intermediate: recosize music notes on the medium octave with sharp and flat notes adcanced: much more difficult, reconize music notes on three octave with sharp and flat

i suggest strongly to use only the beginner level, the others are much more difficult even for myself and i am pianist amateur

have fun !!! and help me to fix alls bugs and so on

ps: i intend to post 3 mn video on you tube to explain how it works soon

F Rouge

starting the app change set language French or English in Choregraph, by default it is French Use tactile Head for starting app Front = short way direct to the levels Middle= Beginning of the game and introduction rear = rest or stop

major issues

nao is blocking after dialog sentence very often, i have to restarst app , i don't understand why if somebody can fix the problem i will be very happy volume control problem i don't succeed to manage automatically if somebody can fix it recognition problem in english dialog, probably my translation is not correct and prunonciation too, not good in english to be fixed

it will stay in alpha revision xxx until all the bugs and bad recognition will be fixed then i hope to build the version1 before the end of the year after your remarks and contributions from anybody if you want for fix bugs

minor issues

automatic language settings should be implemented, you have to switch manually for the moment in the choregraph some bugs which i don't understand for the moment should be fixed the random function is not working very well or is not well implemented should e fixed

futur improvments for version 2.xx (schedule next year)

i use virtual keyboard for generate piano sound, it is not so good quality sound, i have a real piano so i will improve it but i need to buy midi harware and so on with better translation and dialog more interactive i will improve recognition and emotionnal to be much better, but it will take time to do this probably i need some practice with it the dialog is very poor for the moment need to be more rich with animations Animation also are very poor also need to make timeline and improvement

next step V3 and more with solfege training you can do a lot of things, this app is just a starting point for many solfege app with Nao to improve the skills of beginner and amateur musicians
