Teaching and learning of performance practice, in particular, is still mostly based on methods and curricula that have not significantly changed during the last century. Successful technology integration faces many challenges, for instance, the (real-time) analysis of audio signals and the qualitative assessment of the student\u0027s music performance. This talk will detail these challenges and present ongoing work on a learning software for vocal ensembles.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp class=\u0022p1\u0022\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESpeaker Bio:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp class=\u0022p1\u0022\u003EAlexander Lerch works on creating the next generation of music software technology, enabling new ways of understanding, creating, accessing, and listening to music. His main research areas are Music Information Retrieval\/Audio Content Analysis and Intelligent Signal Processing.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp class=\u0022p1\u0022\u003ELerch studied Electrical Engineering at the Technical University Berlin and Tonmeister (Sound Engineering) at the University of the Arts Berlin. He received his PhD on algorithmic music performance analysis from the Technical University Berlin. In 2001, he co-founded the industry leader company zplane.development - a research-driven technology provider for the music industry. At zplane, Lerch worked on the design and implementation of algorithms for music processing and music information retrieval that have been licensed to companies such as Ableton, Native Instruments, Sony, and Steinberg. His book\u0026nbsp; \u0022An Introduction to Audio Content Analysis: Applications in Signal Processing and Music Informatics\u0022 has been published in 2012 by IEEE \/ Wiley press.
