ABSTRACT:
Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to ad hoc music creation to facilitate learning and provide a method, system and computer program product for the automated generation of a song for process learning. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for automated generation of a song for process learning can include loading from fixed storage a process description for transformation into a song intended to facilitate learning of the process by a target listener. The method also can include defining lyrical segments for the process description, selecting a particular melody from a set of melodies stored in fixed storage, and mapping the defined lyrical segments to musical phrases in the particular melody. Finally, the method can include merging pre-recorded audio segments corresponding to the defined lyrical segments with the musical phrases in the particular melody according to the mapping to generate the song.
