A system and a method for music training are described. The system includes an application having an evaluation module, an event correlation module, and a feedback module. The application, upon receiving a live performance input via a user device from a musical instrument, generates digital performance data to analyzes various aspects of the performance in real-time. In one embodiment, the event correlation module compares the performance to a composite performance standard, while the evaluation module analyzes rhythm, tempo, duration, dynamics, pedaling, volume, articulation, and note, and the feedback module displays performance evaluation and music score in real-time. In this way, the system analyzes musical performance in a way that is akin to a highly developed musical human perception.
