Wish list

1.0 CV system to capture fingerings from performances on MIDI enabled keyboards (with or without accelerometer on thumb).

2.0 CV application to automate collection of hand measurements. Ideally, pianists could measure themselves in the privacy of their own homes.

2.1 We could also ask them to estimate their hand size with respect to other pianists they know. We could get a good start with a well-constructed survey and a good pool of pianists. Offer chance to win $100 gift card?

3.0 OMR system that extracts fingerings from scanned scores (plus MIDI performance data).

4.0 Web service including our spins of published methods.

5.0 $$$ to pay professional pianists. Should we look for NSF funding opportunity and try some more grant writing? Chris Raphael recently got some EAGER NSF money.

6.0 Utility to take fingering data + abc and produced abc with complete fingering annotations (and PDF output).

7.0 A forum where pianists could be solicited to submit data or a mailing list of good leads.

8.0 IRB approvals:
  • Web service
  • Survey a la Parncutt for professionals, students
  • Data collection in group piano class at UIC
  • Data collection from Ivana Bukvich's students?
  • Other students?
  • List of professionals, collected from Schrader, Parncutt, Bukvich, Laird, etc.
