For beginners, learning a musical instrument is to follow their teachers' way of playing. A musical instrument tutor often plays the role of assessing student's performance accurately on aspects such as rhythm, pitch, techniques or even the "feel”. However, due to the limited face-to-face time a student can have with a music tutor no matter online or offline. With the advancement of machine learning and audio signal processing (ASP), it becomes possible to use modern approaches in Music Information Retrieval (MIR) to extract data on the quantifiable aspects of playing (e.g volume, tempo, timbre) and compare more accurately the “standard rendition” of a musical piece to a student’s playing and use interactive way to highlight the differences so that practicing music is much easier.
