For western music there has been a volume of researches on music information analysis for automatic transcription or content-based music retrieval. But it is hard to find the similar research on Korean traditional music. In this paper we propose several algorithms to automatically analyze the structure of Korean traditional music 'Pansori'. The proposed algorithm automatically distinguishes between the 'sound' part and 'speech' part which are named 'sori' and 'aniri', respectively, using the ratio of phonetic and pause time intervals. For rhythm called 'jangdan' classification the algorithm makes the robust decision using the majority voting process based on template matching. Also an algorithm is suggested to detect the bar positions in the 'sori' part based on Kalman filter. Every proposed algorithm in the paper works so well enough for the sample music sources of 'Pansori' that the results may be used to automatically transcribe the 'Pansori'.

Research that implements the classification process through Deep Learning algorithm, one of the outstanding human abilities, includes a unimodal model, a multi-modal model, and a multi-modal method using music videos. In this study, the results were better by suggesting a system to analyze each song's spectrum into short samples and vote for the results. Among Deep Learning algorithms, CNN showed superior performance in the category of music genre compared to RNN, and improved performance when CNN and RNN were applied together. The system of voting for each CNN result by Deep Learning a short sample of music showed better results than the previous model and the model with Softmax layer added to the model performed best. The need for the explosive growth of digital media and the automatic classification of music genres in numerous streaming services is increasing. Future research will need to reduce the proportion of undifferentiated songs and develop algorithms for the last category classification of undivided songs.

This study examined the effects of song-based group music therapy on the exercise stress and positive psychological capital of youth soccer players. Eighty youth soccer players were assigned to either a song-based music therapy group or a control group. For the analysis of the effects of song-based group music therapy, the Exercise Stress scale and the Athlete Positive Psychological Capital scale were administered before and after the intervention. The collected data were analyzed using an independent sample t test and paired t test. The results were as follows. First, the experimental group showed a significantly lower posttest score on the exercise stress measure than the control group (p < .01). The control group showed a significant increase from pretest to posttest on the exercise stress measure (p < .05). Second, the experimental group scored significantly higher at posttest than the control group on the positive psychological capital measure (p < .01). The control group demonstrated a statistically significant decrease from pretest to posttest on the positive psychological capital scale (p < .05). The results suggest that song-based group music therapy is an effective treatment method that lowers exercise stress and raises positive psychological capital of youth soccer players.

The purpose of this convergence study was to identify the effects of favorite music therapy on anxiety, fatigue, and vital signs of patients undergoing prostatectomy with spinal anesthesia. This study used a nonequivalent control group design. A sample of 45 patients was included. The experimental group was given music therapy during operation. The data were collected using a structured questionnaire and monitoring at 30 min before operation, at 20 min and 40min undergoing operation, and at arrival recovery room after operation. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, ${\chi}^2-test$, Fisher's exact test, t-test, repeated measures ANOVA. The experimental group reported significantly lower anxiety and lower fatigue than the control group(p=.001; p=.020). However there were no significant differences in the systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate between groups(p=.821; p=.473; p=.782). This findings indicate that the tailored favorite music therapy can be an effective nursing intervention for patient undergoing prostatectomy with spinal anesthesia to reduce anxiety and fatigue related to operation.

In this paper, we introduce a method for automatically generating accompaniment music, according to user's input melody. The initial accompaniment chord is generated by analyzing user's input melody. Then next chords are generated continuously based on markov chain probability table in which transition probabilities of each chord are defined. The probability table is learned according to reinforcement learning mechanism using sample data of existing music. Also during playing accompaniment, the probability table is learned and refined using reward values obtained in each status to improve the behavior of playing the chord in real-time. The similarity between user's input melody and each chord is calculated using pitch class histogram. Using our method, accompaniment chords harmonized with user's melody can be generated automatically in real-time.

This study examined the effects of a meditation program using picture books as a method of reducing young children's aggression. Data was taken from a sample of 60 four-to five-year-old children in daycare centers. This study employed a pre/post-test controlgroup design. All children of each daycare center were assigned to an experimental group(meditation program using picture books) or control group(general music meditation program). All variables were measured by the mothers and teachers of the observed children and the collected data were analyzed by independent and paired t-test. The main results of this study are as follows. Firstly, the meditation program using picture books and general music meditation program were all effective in reducing young children's aggression (aggression against things, aggression against others, verbal aggressin and total aggression) perceived by their teachers, that is, aggression against things, aggression against others and verbal aggression. Secondly, the meditation program using picture books was more effective than general music meditation program in reducing young children's aggression perceived by teachers. Thirdly, the meditation program using picture books was effective in reducing only young children's verbal aggression perceived by their mothers.

The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of applying oriental music therapy and reliability of electroencephalogram(EEG) equipment. The study was approved by the critical trial judge committee from ${\bigcirc}{\bigcirc}$(IRB No. 2013-07) university. In order to measure test-retest reliability for 15 subjects, EEG for same participants were measured using same method mentioned above after 2 hours from the first measurement. Same provider implemented to each person at same time. Firstly, EEG was measured for 5 minutes after the subject with attached electrodes sat on chair comfortably for 10 minutes. Then, the subject was given mental stress using the four fundamental arithmetic operations for 5 minutes, and measured EEG for another 5 minutes. After that the subject sat on the chair comfortably listening oriental medicine music therapy for 5 minutes, and EEG was measured for 5 minutes again. There was no side effect regarding music therapy reported. Raw data, which was measured in each step, were converted through FFT(fast fourier transform) and analyzed after divided into certain frequency including ${\alpha}$ wave, ${\beta}$ wave, ${\theta}$ wave, immersion wave, stabilization wave, sef100 wave, and sef95 wave. Data were analyzed using wilcoxon signed rank test, Intraclass correlation coefficient(ICC), repeated measures ANOVA with the SPSS program. In test-retes method, there were significantly differences in ${\alpha}$ wave, ${\beta}$ wave, immersion wave, stability wave, ${\theta}$ wave, sef100 wave, sef95 wave. ICC has shown a high degree of reliability that it was ${\alpha}$ wave .877, ${\beta}$ wave .855, ${\gamma}$ wave .895, immersion wave .897, stability wave .816, ${\theta}$ wave .904, sef100 wave .910, sef95 wave .776. Also, there was a statistically significant difference in ${\alpha}$ wave after applying oriental music therapy. Based on these results, it is considered that average of the channel EEG and application of oriental music therapy would be practiced by increase of sample size using this machine.
