Abstract:
The author aims to pass on the tradition of classical music to the next generation by significantly reforming and evolving the traditional pedagogy of piano education. Recording and reflecting on one’s performance through video can be a helpful tool in the learning process. However, current video platforms lack the functionality to quickly cue specific scenes. Moreover, video recording is generally limited to a single angle. Reflecting on not just the hands but also the use of the upper body and feet is crucial in piano performance. We have developed a system that enables multi-angle recording using multiple smartphones, allowing for the review of video linked to the musical score. This paper will discuss the system’s development, focusing on the synchronization between audio and every video angle, and user reviews. Utilizing this system for objective evaluation of actual performances is expected to reveal gaps between the ideal and reality and to discover new challenges.
