MidiStickers Pro

MidiStickers Pro is a MIDI-based music education software for learning classical and jazz theory through real-time interactive exercises with auto-accompaniment and modular visualization widgets. It transforms any MIDI keyboard into a dynamic learning environment with powerful tools for harmony, analysis, performance, and classroom instruction. It focuses on accurate pitch spellings and equivalence with the most widely used textbooks in formal music education.

MidiStickers is a cross-platform solution designed from the ground with up to function as a screen-overlay system, enabling simple classroom integration in various educational contexts and integration with other MIDI applications. MidiStickers uses a powerful real-time analysis engine to determine optimal enharmonic spellings, allowing complex theoterical frameworks to be modelled – including german function theory and figured bass. Combining intelligent harmonic analysis and auto-generated accompaniment, it also bridges the gap between theory instruction and live performance with interactive exercises.

MidiStickers was developed “every-class” during three years of higher education academic teaching, evolving from real pedagogical challenges and 21th-century needs of core music curriculum reformulation. Inspired by active methodologies and hands-on musical training, its most inspiring use is helping students understad complex theory concepts that otherwise remain abstract in textbooks. With MidiStickers, students can perform music excerpts and visualize and compare figured bass, jazz chord symbols, german function theory and roman numerals, connecting more than 300 years of theoretical traditional in the same environment. Beyond visualization, students can also practice their keyboard harmony skills using auto-accompaniment generated on the spot, turning MIDI into a serious, integrated tool for formal music education and music labs.
