Introduction
While Large Language Models (LLMs) demonstrate impressive capabilities in text generation, we find that their ability has yet to be generalized to music, humanityโs creative language. We introduce ChatMusician, an open-source LLM that integrates intrinsic musical abilities.
It is based on continual pre-training and finetuning LLaMA2 on a text-compatible music representation, ABC notation, and the music is treated as a second language. ChatMusician can understand and generate music with a pure text tokenizer without any external multi-modal neural structures or tokenizers. Interestingly, endowing musical abilities does not harm language abilities, even achieving a slightly higher MMLU score. Our model is capable of composing well-structured, full-length music, conditioned on texts, chords, melodies, motifs, musical forms, etc, surpassing GPT-4 baseline. On our meticulously curated college-level music understanding benchmark, MusicTheoryBench, ChatMusician surpasses LLaMA2 and GPT-3.5 on zero-shot setting by a noticeable margin. Our work reveals that LLMs can be an excellent compressor for music, but there remains significant territory to be conquered. Code, data, model, and benchmark are open-sourced.

Chat demo
ChatMusician supports gradio web demo and multi-turn dialogue, please visit our github for more details. Our web demo also supports rendering ABC scores into images.
Limitations
- The model currently only supports strict format and close-ended instructions for the music tasks. If we have more funding, we plan to create a more diverse multi-turn music instruction chat data for better generalization.
- The model suffers from hallucinations, and shouldn't be used for music education. It could be improved by feeding more music textbooks, blogs, etc. And RLHF may help, too.
- A large portion of the training data is in the style of Irish music. If possible, the community should develop a converter between performance midi and ABC scores, so that we can include more established midi datasets.
- The MusicThoeryBench results reported in the paper are obtained with perplexity mode. Direct generation may result in a worse performance.
- We observe that using the current version of training data, ChatMusician presents a weak in-context-learning and chain-of-thoughts ability. The community should work on improving the music data quality.

Training Data
ChatMusician is pretrained on the ๐ค MusicPile, which is the first pretraining corpus for developing musical abilities in large language models. Check out the dataset card for more details. And supervised finetuned on 1.1M samples(2:1 ratio between music scores and music knowledge & music summary data) from MusicPile. Check our paper for more details.
Evaluation
- Music understanding abilities are evaluated on the MusicTheoryBench. The following figure is zero-shot accuracy on MusicTheoryBench. We included GPT-3.5, GPT-4, LLaMA2-7B-Base, ChatMusician-Base, and ChatMusician. The blue bar represents the performance on the music knowledge metric, and the red bar represents the music reasoning metric. The dashed line corresponds to a random baseline, with a score of 25%.
- General language abilities of ChatMusician are evaluated on the Massive Multitask Language Understanding (MMLU) dataset.
