Everyday sensor system for music instruments: possibilities and usage in daily musical instrument playing, exercising and teaching

Methods, technics and expression in playing and teaching musical instruments means a lot of analysing of gesture, posture, pressure and movement of several parts of the human body. For many of these parameters, the everyday use Sensor System provides a possibility to record and show most of the significant Data in real time. This new possibilities of analysing and recording datasets of audio and sensors will show new ways in technology based pedagogy and even more important: Extended instruments, to create unheard and up to now yet unplayable music. Practical experiments show a huge range of new ways to teach, practice and perform with violin, viola, cello, guitar, piano and double base. The are used several magnetic field sensors, pressure sensors, position tracking and bending sensors. The following setup records and aligns data to the audio file and the score, making the everyday use simple for musicians, from beginners to professionals.
