The goal is to promote the healthy and stable development of music education in China. The time-frequency sequence topology in frequency domain can improve the effect of convolution operation. Therefore, this paper applies the above algorithms to classical music education, including the recognition of classical instruments, the feature extraction…

A model for incorporating diverse musical content into the core conservatory aural skills curriculum is presented. We position the contemporary conservatory as a solid institution providing Western musicians with a sense of stability and heritage in an age of anxiety (Bauman's 'liquid modernity'). Despite these benefits, we argue that the…

The Burmese arched harp, known as "Saung Gauk," is the national icon of the Southeast Asian country of Myanmar (once called Burma).

Additionally, music…

In Turkish music, it is possible to find different makams sharing the same core scale of notes. The subjects of this study are three such makams, namely Acem Küdri, Kürdi, Muhayyer Kürdi. We use computational analysis based on histograms, pattern search and dynamic time warping to reveal the similarities and dissimilarities of these three makams.…
