Music 254/CS 275b "Music Query, Analysis, and Style Simulation"
Stanford University (Spring 2013).

This music information retrieval course builds on the foundation of Music 253/CS 275A. Using an open-source analysis platform (such as the Humdrum Toolkit, Humdrum Extras (C++), or Music21(Python), or a preferred programming language/environment) students plan and design their own applications.

Class time is divided during the first four weeks to cover basic areas of music analysis and retrieval and to learn some of the basic principles of the Humdrum Toolkit. The remaining six weeks are spent on individual project development, with weekly discussions. Extensive help is available in the lab during hours allotted to class time.
