ABSTRACT:
An in-game interface for a music video game includes one or more feedback mechanisms configured to provide feedback to a player relating to the player's performance of the music video game. A compare module compares the player's performance with a reference performance provided by the music video game. A performance evaluation module determines the performance feedback to be presented to the player while the player performs the musical composition. In some embodiments, the player's pitch and rhythm are compared against a reference pitch and rhythm. If the player's pitch and rhythm matches the reference pitch and rhythm to within a predetermined target range, then the performance feedback is positive. Otherwise, the performance feedback is negative.
