atsukotominaga / music-adaptation

The project investigates whether expert pianists are able to modulate their sound flexibly to teach depending on each student's skill level.

Experts’ adaptation depending on novices’ skills

This repo contains scripts and materials for the music adaptation study with expert pianists.

Open Science Framework: https://osf.io/becf6/

experiment

• Environment: Mac OS X 10.15.7, Max MSP 8.1.11

prerequisite

• Install the Shell package (https://github.com/jeremybernstein/shell/releases) into the package folder of Max 8.

• The Shell package is used to generate necessary folders to store collected data. If it does not work in your environment, please create the following 2 folders manually.

  • data (path: ~/experiment/data)
  • midi (path: ~/experiment/midi)

analysis

1. preprosessor

data: raw_data (test performance), predata(baseline performance)

• filtering.R: to clean data and remove performance errors >> output: filtered folder
• trimming.R: to calculate dependent variables and remove outliers >> output: trimmed folder
• function.R: to detect pitch errors in a performance / insert NAs
• ideal.txt: the ideal sequence of the piece (used for filtering)

2. stats

• baseline.Rmd: analysis and plots when comparing between baseline and test performance >> output: html file
• onlyfirst.Rmd: analysis which only include the performance with the first instance of each student (category) >> output: html file

demographics

data: questionnaire.csv

• questionnaire.Rmd >> output: html file

data

Filtered and trimmed data files for analysis (see details: perception-v1.0: Workflow)

material

instruction

• instruction.md: instruction sheet for an experimenter >> output: html file, pdf file
• image: figures used in the instruction sheet and the experiment
• psd files: images used for instructions >> output: png files

sheetmusic

Sheet music for 4 types of expressions

1. without expression (stim_n)
2. with articulation (stim_a)
3. with dynamics (stim_d)
4. with articulation and dynamics (stim_m)

expstimuli

See details in Memo

prerating

• Environment: Mac OS X 10.15.6, Max MSP 8
• Python Environment

psychopy3

• rating.py: for the experiment
• midiplayer.maxpat: to make midi sound from rating.py

others

• image: experimental stimuli (sheet music)
• mid: experimental stimuli (performance data)
• practice: stimuli for practice trials

etc

• cropped: cropped sheet music
