The impact of artificial intelligence on music education: evolution or regression?

Abstract

The introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) into music education sparks discussions about its impact on traditional teaching methods. This paper analyzes the potential of AI technology in transforming music teaching and creation, while also highlighting the risks associated with the erosion of key musical skills. The application of AI in personalizing the learning process, providing interactive educational tools, and democratizing access to music education is discussed. Ethical and social challenges related to the implementation of AI, such as protecting cultural diversity and ensuring equal access to technology, are also presented. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of a balanced approach to integrating AI in music education, combining innovation with the preservation of traditional musical values. Creating appropriate policies and regulations to ensure ethical and equitable use of AI will be crucial. The future of music education should leverage AI technology without losing sight of the essential elements of human creativity and artistic expression.
