A violin plays an essential role among string instruments. It has an extremely strong expressive power that can be conveyed through beautiful timbre when played correctly. However, a beginner who attempts to play the violin will be most likely to face difficulties in placing his or her fingers on a specific point of the fingerboard or in bowing the violin on a specific string. In order to resolve this difficulty, the database of a professional violinist's bowing skills were inserted beforehand. By doing so, a beginner can emulate professional's violin by comparing his playing with the constructed database that is programmed in the computer. Accordingly, the results are displayed on the monitor after being evaluated by the performance evaluation function using a fuzzy logic.
