Deeya’s Status Report for 02/08/25 – Team D2: Write On Cue

I am tasked with working on the web/mobile application part of our project as well as with implementing the Gen AI aspect of our project
We first were trying to assess whether a web application or a mobile app would work better for our project and its use cases. We decided to use a web app instead because it is easier to access, upload and store files, and authenticate users, and we overall have more experience working with Python, Javascript, HTML, CSS than with Swift for iOS apps.
I designed a very basic UI for the website and will be starting a Django project that has the UI and basic functionality like being able to upload/save files to a database and has user profiles to allow users to login and out.
For the Gen AI component the first step is to find a large enough dataset of flute music of different genres. I spoke with Professor Dueck to ask her if there was CMU archival of flute music or any resources that she recommends to look through. She recommended looking at classicalarchives.com and specifically for solo or duet flute sonatas or anything unaccompanied. Looking through this website there are a lot of flute compositions that can be useful for this project. However I still need to figure out what would be the best way to compile together a large dataset and categorize/label each piece based on its genre, tone, pace. This will be a time consuming process so I will still continue researching for more flute labelled datasets.
