028. The Impact of AI Tools on Music Education
Unlike my regular articles that investigate topics directly relevant to the management of orchestras (and performing arts overall) such as dual leadership, digital transformation, social and economic impact of arts and culture institutions, and strategic management within orchestras, to name a few, this week I am presenting a unique research proposal. This draft proposal aims to explore the integration of artificial intelligence tools in music education (at secondary school level), highlighting its potential benefits and challenges.
The detailed research project, including the initial literature review and reference list can be downloaded here:
A Research Proposal Seeking Community Feedback
This week’s content diverges from my standard articles, which usually consist of more advanced literature reviews and research studies on current trends in orchestra management. This document is a research proposal aimed at investigating the influence of artificial intelligence (AI) tools on music education at the pre-college level. This proposal outlines a project designed to explore the potential benefits and challenges of integrating AI into music education, focusing on both teachers' and students' perspectives.
The decision to publish this proposal is driven by the desire to engage our knowledgeable and diverse readership in the research process. Presenting this preliminary work allows me to solicit feedback, insights, and suggestions from experts and practitioners in the field. This collaborative approach underlines the value of collective intelligence and community engagement in advancing our understanding and implementation of innovative practices.
Why Does This Research Matter to Orchestra Management
You might wonder why a research project on AI in music education is relevant to a series of articles focused on orchestra management. The connection lies in the shared goal of enhancing the cultural and educational landscape through innovative strategies and tools. Understanding the impact of AI on music education can provide insights for orchestra managers and educators, helping them to better understand the evolving technological landscape and its implications for the future of orchestras.
