Review of the Technology Application in Music Teaching and Learning

With the rapid development of technology and its wide application in music classrooms in the 21st Century, technology has brought certain changes to music education. At this time, the trend of integration of technology and music teaching and learning will continue. This article mainly reviews technology in music education. The author mainly analyzes the following three aspects: (1) The change of technology in the efficiency of student learning in music courses includes two parts: interaction and cooperation; (2) Technology changes in the learning concepts of music teachers and students; (3) A blended learning environment with technology-based music classrooms. Based on the findings of this review, the researcher believes that the use of technology in music classrooms can improve learning efficiency, cooperation, and interaction. In addition, the creation of technological music classrooms will subtly influence teachers and students, which can also affect their teaching and concepts. Also, the integration of technology into the music classroom has produced a virtual-real mixed learning environment, which has also changed the role of teachers. However, there may be some problems that need to be paid attention to. For example, teachers may need to think about the feasibility issues (e.g., technical equipment), their own technical mastery, and student acceptance. Therefore, there is still a long way to study the application of technology to music teaching. Even though technology brings a lot of conveniences, the problem of when large-scale technology is popularized and used remains to be studied. Besides, with the influence of online education under COVID-19 situations, the development of online classrooms will be greatly promoted, and the development of online music classrooms is also worth studying.
