Title

Spectrum analysis for assessment and evaluation of vocal music based on intonation

Abstract

Vocal music performance occupies a dominant position in the musical landscape of Kenya yet scholars have had numerous debates as to how music should be assessed and evaluated. Instructional refinement and related matters of liability have provided a domain for the widespread need for diverse assessment and evaluation grading systems (G/Tsadik et al., 2020). The research being done was on ““Spectrum analysis for assessment and evaluation of vocal music based on intonation in relation to the major scale”. The purpose of this research was to come up with a system that is able to measure pitch accuracy of a singer based on the rules of music in this case thus the major scale. A model was developed using spectrum analysis.
