Projects


Solfege.ai

solfege.ai Solfege.ai Screenshot

A deep learning model built to detect hand symbols and translate them into musical notes. We have developed a system that allows the user to 'play' solfege hand signs as a MIDI instrument. This technology could have practical applications both in music education and creation.

Solfege hand signs are often used in school choirs to teach music theory concepts. Since vocalists cannot actually see the notes on their instrument, hand signs have been developed as a teaching aid. This system allows students to play the hand signs as an instrument -- recieving auditory feedback. Previously, a student learning solfege would have to sing the note or play another instrument to 'hear' their hand signs.


Intrument.bible

Instrument Bible Hero

Instrument.bible is a virtual fingering chart for brass, woodwind, and string instruments. It's a mobile music education app designed to help musicians create, practice, and learn instruments. It features a variety of musical tools including a tuner, metronome, MIDI player, oscilloscope, and multimedia recorder. It's accessible – free, cross-platform, and localized for over 30 languages.

This project was inspired by my frustrations using traditional (paper) fingering charts in the instrument method classes while studying Music Education at Arizona State University. My goal was to re-invent the fingering chart for the 21st century. I created the project from start to finish, learning a great deal about coding while applying the lessons I've learned throughout my life playing musical instruments.
