Human students do an awful lot of interpretation of what they're told. Robots can't. So you have to be explicit about more of your assumptions when teachign a robot to play. Our robotic clarinet was designed so that we could understand what was going on in the mouthpiece, the fingers, the vocal cavity, and the interaction of all those with the reed, so that we could reproduce not only beautiful music (which we managed I think) but also beginners' mistakes. When we can say what makes a particular combination of lip pressure, tonguing and fingering `squeak' in that annoying way that beginner (and some semi-pro) clarinettists have, we can work out how to teach them not to.
