Multiple-Instrument View Framework

Project Name: Multiple-Instrument View Framework

A Brief Description: Minuet is part of KDE-edu and its goal is helping teachers and students both novice and experienced teach and respectively learn and exercise their musical theory skills. It is primarily focused on ear-training exercises but other areas will soon be available.

Minuet includes a virtual piano keyboard, displayed at the bottom of the screen (see picture below), on which users can visualize the exercises.

Status: Work in progress

This is awesome about GSoC: GSoC gave me the opportunity to develop myself, to firstly do research and try solving my problems on my own, while knowing at the same time that i always have someone i can ask for help if i'm stuck.

This is what I learned during GSoC:

• Qml
• JSON
• Qt
• Git
