THE IMPACT OF DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION ON MUSIC EDUCATION FOR STUDENTS IN MUSIC SCHOOLS

Author: Bui Thi Thu

ABSTRACT

This study analyzes the impact of digital transformation on vocal music education at music schools. With the rapid development of digital technology, traditional teaching methods can no longer fully meet the flexible and effective learning needs of students. Technological tools such as online learning platforms, music software, and gamified learning systems have helped students enhance their vocal skills through practice and instant feedback. However, applying technology to vocal music teaching still faces several challenges, including incomplete technology infrastructure and differences in technological proficiency between instructors and students. The study proposes solutions such as developing online vocal music learning tools, training instructors, and supporting students in using technology to improve teaching and learning effectiveness in the digital transformation context.

Keywords: Digital transformation, Vocal music teaching, educational technology, Online learning platforms
