Melody is a sequence of succession of tones and itself is the major part of a song composition. To accompany the melody, chord compositions will be prepared in accordance with the harmonization of tones within it. Composing chords is an unquantifiable process which may only be rated by subjective judgement. Variations are welcomed, however subjectively each person have their own preference thus making a generally likeable composition is a challenge to musicians since long. Simon et al. (2008) proposed a solution on composing chord accompaniment for a melody in real-time as an application named MySong. Machine learning serves a main part on the application, therefore it suggests that other machine learning variations may possibly applicable to the problem and possibly produce better result. Artificial neural network is considered as a potential alternative that may have an advantage on parameter customization and time-series applicable. Based on test results, it is proven that an art...
