No it's not. MIDI is not audio so there is no direct way to convert from audio to MIDI (more about MIDI here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIDI)
9/10 questions are answered in the FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

It is generally considered not possible to convert mp3 to midi. Several years ago, I searched online for such a converter, found a few but was sorely displeased with the results. Chances are good that they have improved vastly since then, but are still probably quite lacking.

Search for "convert mp3 to midi". Post back if you encounter favorable results. :)

I hope this helps. :D
