With the rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology, its application in the field of education has become increasingly widespread. This study focuses on music education in primary and secondary schools, exploring how AI technology can facilitate the reform of music teaching. Currently, technical tools such as intelligent music software, automatic scoring systems, and virtual teachers are transforming traditional music classrooms, providing students with personalized learning experiences. Through the analysis of typical domestic application cases, it is found that AI technology can not only assist teachers in cultivating basic skills such as intonation training and rhythm teaching but also stimulate students’ creativity through intelligent composition tools. However, the application of technology still faces many challenges, including insufficient investment in hardware equipment, teachers’ lack of technical literacy, and poor human-computer interaction experience. To address these dilemmas, it is suggested to improve through strengthening teacher training, optimizing technical adaptability, and improving curriculum design. In the future, with the development of 5G and metaverse technologies, the application prospect of AI in music education will be broader, and it is expected to build an intelligent music learning environment integrating virtual and real elements. This study provides practical references for promoting the informatization of music education and has positive significance for realizing the aesthetic education goals in the new era.
