Musician Learner
MusicianLearner is a mobile practice app for musicians that provides real-time feedback by detecting every note played. Using YIN and FFT algorithms, it runs device‑side pitch detection so practice sessions work entirely offline. The app compares recordings against uploaded reference songs via Dynamic Time Warping (DTW), which accounts for tempo variations to deliver an accuracy score. For polyphonic pieces, an AI mode powered by Spotify’s Basic Pitch neural network can transcribe complex chords from piano, guitar, and other instruments. Recordings are saved with timestamps, duration, and scores to track improvement over time. The app also generates sheet music from any song or recording, exportable as an image or PDF. A community Challenges feature lets musicians compete on shared songs with public leaderboards. Additional tools include a built‑in chromatic tuner for all instruments. MusicianLearner is available for iOS and Android.
