At the most basic level, having good vocal skills involves being able to discern and hit a specific note accurately and in sequence. Many successful artists have trained their ears to quickly identify the pitch of a note and can reproduce it without needing to listen to the track again. If you want to improve as a singer, it’s important to learn how to train yourself to distinguish notes and pitches by ear alone. Some individuals are naturally gifted with “perfect pitch” – an innate ability to identify notes – but this skill can also be developed through practice.
But what exactly is pitch? Most instruments, including the human voice, are capable of producing an infinite number of notes, with only the tiniest variations between each note. When musical instruments are “tuned,” a trained ear identifies the exact fixed sound desired for a specific note. All other notes produced by the instrument are then played using this sound as a reference. Similarly, someone singing “off key” or “off pitch” refers to a person who is not singing in accordance with the established convention of the song.

Dr. Roberto Dillon has written this article about his Music-Emotion Driven Game Engine. I think this idea to really have potential.
Game Engine
In the fast developing world of videogames, sound has traditionally played a less important role than other features, such as graphics. Nonetheless, recently, due to the latest technological advances, both developers and audiences alike have understood how much sound and music can do to enhance gaming experiences and increase the overall realism and emotional impact of virtual worlds.
Today, many music games are being released with great acclaim on different formats but many of these games tend to be in the rhythm/action category where the player is actually “reacting” to music while a real and natural “interaction” with this medium is still lacking.
This aspect is currently being addressed by a team of researchers and developers at Nanyang Polytechnic in Singapore, led by Italian computer engineer Dr. Roberto Dillon, with a project codenamed M-EDGE (“Music-Emotion Driven Game Engine”) which is fully supported by the National Research Foundation of Singapore.
The underlying idea of the project is to assess and further investigate music related cognitive science topics and integrate the results into games by designing and developing an … ...Read the rest.
