A musical exploration journey from creation to stage

Introduction to AI Music Composition

Let students realize their dreams of music creation through the power of artificial intelligence (AI)! This course leads students into the wonderful world of AI music creation, learning to use advanced tools such as AIVA and Suno AI to create various styles of music. Even if you have no music background, you can easily get started and create diverse works from classical to pop, from movie soundtracks to game sound effects through practical operation of AI tools. Students will explore the mysteries of AI sound design, experience the cross-border combination of AI music and other art forms, and learn the basic knowledge and application skills of AI:

Learn how AI is used in music creation:Learn AI music generation, style imitation, mood setting and other technologies.
Master the operation of AI tools: Learn to use AIVA, Suno AI and other software for music creation and sound design.

At the end of the course, students also have the opportunity to perform their own musical works to show their learning achievements.

Course topics include:

AI music creation
An introductory exploration of AI music generation
Improvisation and AI
AI music style transfer
AI emotional music creation

Music Curriculum Director - Matthew Wong

He studied under a returning jazz master from a famous American music school and was selected for the 2022 Hong Kong Youth Jazz Music Training Program funded by the Hong Kong Arts Development Council. In 2023, he participated in the Thailand station of the JEA Jazz workshop and performed a jazz performance with teachers and students of Rangsit University, a well-known music university in Bangkok. In the same year, he was once again selected into the jazz music composer training program organized by the Hong Kong Jazz Academy. An album of his original songs was appended and will be released on Spotify in March 2024. During the above-mentioned program period, I studied under famous teachers such as Alan Kwan, Ted Lo, Lui, Xiao Xianquan, Johnathan Katz, Scott Murphy, Johnson Ho, Joyce Cheung and so on.

Fun AI fact

How does AI assist music creation?

The application of AI in music composition primarily relies on machine learning algorithms, particularly deep learning and Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs). These technologies can learn music styles and structures from vast amounts of music data, enabling the generation of creative and original melodies, chords, and compositions. By harnessing these techniques, musicians can gain inspiration, enhance their creative efficiency, and expand the possibilities of music composition. AI in music composition acts as a collaborator and tool that complements the artistic process, providing new avenues for exploration and experimentation.

The application of AI in music composition includes melody generation, automatic composition, music analysis, style transformation, and sound synthesis, among others. For example, AI can generate complete compositions based on specific styles, emotions, or rhythms, aiding in the rapid creation of background music, game music, or film scores. Additionally, AI can simulate various instruments and vocals, generating more realistic timbres and expressions, providing musicians with high-quality musical materials. In these processes, AI technology not only enhances the creative abilities of musicians but also opens up new possibilities for music composition.
