Motor-Skill-Transfer Technology for Piano Playing with Electrical Muscle Stimulation

Published: 28 November 2023 Publication History

Abstract

We introduce a motor-skill-transfer technology using electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) for acquiring piano playing skills. While expert pianists use the coordination of multiple muscles, such as fingers and arms, novices are less aware of muscle coordination and tend to only move their fingers. Our EMS-based system encourages them to use their arms as well as their fingers. Based on the analysis of experts’ muscle coordination, our system applies EMS to the novices’ forearms and shoulders. With this system, novices should be able to improve their motor skills, such as playing octave tremolos by using wrist rotation to reduce fatigue and playing C major scales more smoothly by coordinating forearm and shoulder muscles to execute the thumb-under technique.
