Mastering the building blocks of computational music theory

This tutorial from MIT OpenCourseWare provides a technical deep dive into the music21 library. Learn how to manipulate the fundamental Duration and Note modules and objects used in computational music analysis.

Part of the MIT 21M.383 course, 'Computational Music Theory and Analysis,' this session focuses on the mechanics of the music21 Python library. The video serves as a practical guide to unlocking the specific modules and objects required to represent musical elements digitally.

By exploring the Duration and Note modules, viewers can understand how software structures the essential components of musical notation for algorithmic analysis.
