ABSTRACT:
A score tracking method and apparatus are provided. The method detects frequency models of score notes to be performed, compiles a list of frequency models, and generates a matching model composed of frequency components, based on the list. The frequency components are included in audio data to be generated during a performance of the score notes. The method then receives external audio data during an actual performance of the score notes, converts the audio data into digital signal, and detects current performance frequency data from the digital signal. The method then determines whether the matching model matches the current performance frequency data when the current performance frequency data includes a new frequency component other than the frequency components of the matching model, generates synchronized information between the actual performance of the score notes and the score notes, and updates the matching model.
