I am currently developing some new techniques to help students improve learning and playing music. I have played and taught violin in the past and also have been working as a software developer . I was using some old method to teach my students but it still did not achieve great results. Now I'm experimenting a new way to learn and improve the abilities of learning instruments like violin or piano. I also want to use music with new technology to reduce (if I can prove....) the stress level that every person has to deal and cope with every day.
I developed some of my own exercises to practice bow, finger movements, and vibration techniques. Everybody learns new subjects in different ways. If the student can see how they play and with the suggestions of the teacher throughout the video, they can improve their techniques in a short period of time. The students should also provide different styles of learning such as one by one, distant learning, and group learning so they can choose the ways they like.

By watching the video, students will not need to come to see their teachers and they can also learn how to play a new song by watching their teacher play the song on the video. Violin instructors can also send the instructions or music sheets using a separate email or IM to discuss issues or questions related to the new assignment with each student. With the online teaching,
one student can learn from many instructors and vice versa.

For some students, it takes a lot of time to go from their houses to the music teacher's house or music school. Blogs and social networking sites are there to help people improve in learning and playing music by cutting down the cost to learn music lessons by saving time and gas.
Music students can learn, practice, and send the the video to show the teacher how they play a new song for comments. Teachers can help the students improve the technique by sending back a video that demonstrates how the student should play.Teachers can also integrate some software to analyze their students' style to help them improve their techniques. Students in the same level can be grouped in the same group so they can share their own learning experience with others.
They also can learn at their own pace.

Any musician can start with the online teaching by setting up the teaching environment with the following requirements:

1) A PC/Laptop
2) Web cam
3) Internet connection(DSL or Cable Modem)
4) An YouTube/Facebook account
5) Email Account
6) Skype for video conferencing

and his or her students should have the same environment so they both can discuss, exchange and upload their videos.

In this article, I will not discuss how the teacher gets paid or the payment process in the E -learning.

A Telehome Telehealth Systems

A Telehome Telehealth Systems was designed by I in 2009. In this systems, a Patient can measure his/her blood pressure, heart rate, blood sugar level .... and send those test results to the server. Based on the results, the medical intelligent systems will decide to call/notify the doctor in case of the test results are bad/or high compare to normal value. This systems are designed for collecting data every hour/day/week/month depend on the health condidtion of the patient. It also plan to integrate with mail server and other systems/applications to analize data and generate prediction/suggestions for patients.

My Brain Function Model

The above model is part of a complex model of my research paper that I have been working and research  and plan to publish in the next few years if I felt that the model will be able to expand and apply for some practical solutions . It can be used to develop stimulation applications for testing patients during the rehap process. It also can be used to develop new medical equipments and processes to help patients to recover after the operation. It will use the latest technology like: parallel processing, AI, embedded technology and computational biology (for discovery the mathematical model).. and String theory for building next generation of computers/systems/applications and network protocol and infrastructures. You can also use my model to improve the performance of your applications/systems better in the multi-threaded environment by adjusting corrected parameters.

The next generation of computers/systems/application will be able to perform complex opreations, generate ouput based on existing data(present and the past) but only consume little energy and produce little heat.

String Theory

Here is the short descrption of string theory by Dr. D. A. Wagenaar at Caltech will explain about the famous theory.....

"A low energy effective action is derived for a single D-particle. We find that at open string tree level, it behaves like a free particle with mass ~ 1/g_c. A system of many D-particles is described by a Yang-Mills action after dimensional reduction to 0+1 dimensions. Physically, the degrees of freedom are the relative positions of the particles, and a set of harmonic oscillators corresponding to strings that may stretch between them. Upon compactification, the quantum mechanics of many D-particles turns out to be equivalent to Yang-Mills theory on a single multiply wound D-string, a fact that is known as T-duality.

Scattering of two D-particles is considered. It is found that supersymmetry is essential, since purely bosonic D-particles are confined by a potential that grows linearly with the distance between them. In the supersymmetric theory, D-particle scattering is found to contain broad resonances, which offers evidence for the existence of bound states of N D-particles, as needed for the conjectured equivalence of M-theory and D-particle quantum mechanics......"

Using the concept of open string, closed, oriented/unoriented string in the N dimensions and D-1 functions of time might help to explain the action from my diagram above.
