Teaching: Analysing Musical Performances

Materials

As part of my undergraduate teaching at Cambridge, I created a website hosting a variety of online exercises for students to complete. Each exercise introduces a single performance analysis or MIR-adjacent concept e.g. onset detection, beat tracking. Students who took this course were on either the Music or Biomedical Sciences program, and typically had no prior experience of coding or audio signal processing, so the use of code is kept to a minimum (in favour of manual labelling, online calculators, and spreadsheets for data analysis).
