Abstract
A music apparatus determines a scale suitable for a given melody. The apparatus includes a motion analyzer which analyzes motion in the melody. In an embodiment, a note coupling evaluator evaluates a coupling coefficient of each note in the melody based on a pitch interval pattern of surrounding notes. Using the evaluated results, a tonic and type of a scale for the melody is determined.
