Introduction & Project Summary

Most pianists suffer strain and injury over the course of their careers. Back in Tune will help these players by providing real-time corrective feedback on hand and wrist posture while playing piano—an essential determinant of sound quality and poor technique that could lead to injury. Our device will help pianists of all skill levels monitor their playing during individual practice, providing extra corrective channels when a teacher is not present. 

By monitoring hand posture, we believe that we can effectively detect instances where playing is impacted by poor technique. Greater awareness of incorrect technique can deter future injuries and sustain careers for longer.
