Appling Artificial Intelligence Techniques on Singing Teaching of Taiwanese Opera

Taiwanese opera is the important culture inheritance in Taiwan, however, this culture inheritance is dying in recently years. Although the Taiwan government and various Taiwanese opera troupes have worked hard for many years to promote this culture to campuses, and held several interest courses; this culture inheritance is still losing and dying. For elder people, Taiwanese opera and Taiwanese cultures are both precious culture treasures and parts of their childhood memories. Nowadays, young people in Taiwan are no longer familiar to Taiwanese, neither to Taiwanese opera singings. It is hard for young people to learn how appreciating this traditional culture. In this study, we refer to the current promotion methods of drama troupes which learn the singing method and posture of Taiwanese opera, we combine artificial intelligence techniques into traditional Taiwanese opera on singing and posture. The proposed system could analyzes students’ voice and postures, and then assists teachers to improve the learning performance of students. Students could compare their singing skill or postures with professional actors and adjust their singing and posture. Students of Taiwanese opera interest class can practice independently without professional teacher's guidance at home. In campus promotion, this game-like promotion method brings young people more acceptance of Taiwanese opera.
