Title of Speech: Paradigm Reconstruction of Music Education from the Perspective of Digital Intelligence: A Multi-dimensional Exploration Based on Pop Music Creation, Intangible Cultural Heritage Drum Music Inheritance and Aesthetic Education Practice

Abstract: The rapid development of artificial intelligence and new media technologies has accelerated the iteration of traditional music education models and reshaped the new pattern of modern aesthetic education. In view of the practical problems in current music education, such as rigid teaching modes, single inheritance forms of intangible cultural heritage music, and unbalanced inclusive aesthetic education resources, this study conducts research on the paradigm reconstruction of digital intelligent music education based on university music teaching practice. Integrating multiple research directions including intelligent aesthetic education, pop music creation, and the inheritance of Xi’an Drum Music (an intangible cultural heritage), this research relies on a number of scientific research projects, provincial and municipal artistic education achievements, as well as practical experience in innovative talent cultivation and public welfare aesthetic education. Centering on AI technology empowerment and combining the advantages of new media communication, this paper focuses on three practical scenarios: intelligent creation and teaching of pop music, digital revitalization of Xi’an Drum Music heritage, and inclusive aesthetic education through music therapy for special groups. It constructs a modern music education system featuring four integrations: intelligent creation, digital inheritance, scientific and innovative education, and public welfare aesthetic education. Based on the experience of guiding college students to participate in scientific and innovative competitions such as the Internet Plus Competition, National Computer Design Competition, and China International Innovation Competition, as well as the aesthetic education practice achievements of the Yinshan Volunteer Service Team, this paper explores innovative paths for integrating digital intelligent technologies into music classroom teaching, intangible cultural heritage inheritance, and public welfare aesthetic education implementation. The research verifies that digital intelligence empowerment can effectively break through the bottlenecks of traditional music education and realize the multi-dimensional integration of pop music teaching innovation, living inheritance of traditional intangible cultural heritage music, and balanced development of inclusive aesthetic education. Rooted in theoretical innovation and front-line teaching practice, this study provides practical references for music education reform, modern communication of intangible cultural heritage music, and cultivation of compound aesthetic education talents in the intelligent era, boosting the high-quality, digital, modern and inclusive development of music education.
