Introduction
With the progress of society and the development of science and technology, music teaching has also experienced the evolution from traditional to modern. In the early teaching mode, teachers dominated the classroom and students mostly passively accepted knowledge. However, with the deepening of pedagogical research and the change of social concepts, educators began to pay attention to the uniqueness of students, including learning characteristics, interests, and rhythms. This shift has promoted the application of personalized music teaching methods, transforming the role of the teacher from a single knowledge imparts to a guide and assistant for students’ learning.
Personalized music teaching not only reflects the changes in the field of music education, but also reflects the development of modern education ideas. In this model, students’ subjectivity is emphasized, and they can choose the appropriate learning resources and methods according to their interests and abilities to achieve more effective and in-depth learning.
In recent years, the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology has brought new possibilities for personalized music teaching. In particular, advanced technologies such as machine learning and deep learning enable educators to capture students’ learning feedback in real time and provide more precise guidance and resource recommendations. The introduction of AI technology not only provides educators with a powerful auxiliary tool, but also helps them to deeply understand the learning state of students, so as to formulate teaching strategies more effectively.
However, the application of AI in music teaching also faces many challenges. For example, how to ensure that AI systems can fully and accurately understand and respond to students’ personalized learning needs, and how to effectively use data while protecting students’ privacy. In addition, educators need to have the appropriate technical knowledge to effectively integrate AI technology into music teaching. These challenges require us to promote AI technology while also focusing on its actual effects and potential impact in educational practice.
In recent years, the application of artificial intelligence technology in the field of music teaching quality evaluation has been widely concerned. Jeremic et al. 1 explored the application of music technology software in the adoption of music teaching content, highlighting the potential of technology to enhance teaching effectiveness. Similarly, Meng et al. 2 studied digital music recommendation technology based on deep learning, highlighting its role in improving the efficiency of music teaching. Chen 3 focused on the design of music teaching system based on artificial intelligence, showing the practicability of this technology in the teaching process.
In terms of music teaching methods, Ma 4 studied AI-based multimedia music teaching, demonstrating the potential of AI technology in improving the interactivity and learning experience of music teaching. Qin 5 proposed a music teaching evaluation technology based on data mining, emphasizing the importance of data-driven methods in teaching quality evaluation. In addition, Chang and Peng 6 explored the application of visual perception human motion detection system in interactive music teaching, revealing the potential of AI technology in improving teaching interactivity.
Yu et al. 7 evaluated the teaching quality of online music education apps in China and emphasized the important role of AI in teaching quality assessment. Li 8 studied the application of generative adversarial networks in music symbol recognition, demonstrating the practical application potential of AI in the teaching process. Chen 9 proposed a compensatory fuzzy neural network based music teaching ability evaluation model, highlighting the importance of AI in teacher ability evaluation. The research of Zhu and Liang 10 focused on the design and implementation of J2Ee-based music teaching system, demonstrating the effectiveness of AI technology in the development of teaching system.
In summary, these studies show the wide application and potential value of artificial intelligence technology in music teaching quality evaluation, especially in improving teaching efficiency, enhancing teaching interaction, and optimizing teaching content.
This study focuses on the application of artificial intelligence in personalized music teaching quality evaluation. First, through a comprehensive review, this paper systematically explores the application status and key technical characteristics of artificial intelligence in music education, and further clarifies its core advantages and potential challenges as a personalized music teaching tool. In view of this, the development trend, existing problems, and prospect trend of personalized music teaching are deeply analyzed, which lays a solid theoretical foundation for the follow-up research. In the empirical research part, this research adopts various strategies such as questionnaire survey, data collection, and model construction, aiming to explore how artificial intelligence specifically affects the quality of personalized music teaching. In addition, for the results of data analysis, the exact role of artificial intelligence in the evaluation of music teaching quality, possible bottlenecks, and solutions are deeply discussed. It is expected that through the organic integration of technology and education, the existing evaluation model of music teaching can be optimized and further personalized education can be achieved.
From a theoretical point of view, although there have been extensive studies on teaching evaluation in the field of music education, there are still relatively few in-depth discussions combining artificial intelligence. This study fills the gap and provides a new theoretical perspective and framework for the intersection of music education and artificial intelligence. This study will deepen educators’ understanding of how to optimize music teaching evaluation with technical means, and provide theoretical basis and direction for subsequent research.
In practice, the personalization of music education is a key component of educational reform. With the continuous development of artificial intelligence technology, its application potential in music teaching evaluation has become increasingly prominent. This study provides an empirical basis for educators and decision makers on how to use artificial intelligence technology to conduct more accurate, efficient and personalized music teaching evaluation, so as to better meet the personalized learning needs of students, improve the teaching effect, and promote the continuous innovation and development of music education.

The AI technology architecture has also been extended to sub-fields such as natural language processing, computer vision, and speech recognition. For example, in natural language processing, BERT model sets a new standard in text analysis and semantic understanding. 12 In the field of computer vision, new network structures and training techniques continue to improve the accuracy of image and video analysis.
In the field of education, especially music education, recent developments in AI technology offer new possibilities. For example, deep learning models can analyze students’ musical compositions to provide personalized feedback and guidance. Real-life examples such as Google’s Magenta project, which uses machine learning to create new musical compositions, demonstrate the potential of AI in creative music education.
Application model
The application model of AI is constantly evolving to suit the needs of various industries. Supervised learning models are widely used in classification or regression prediction training, while unsupervised learning models automatically discover structures and patterns in data.
Deep learning models perform well in image and sequence data processing. Reinforcement learning models learn to perform specific tasks through interaction with the environment. Generative adversarial networks (GANs) and variational autoencoders (VAEs) show new possibilities in the field of data generation.
Transfer learning and multitasking learning models reduce training time and data requirements, while the attention mechanism and transformer structure offer new perspectives for handling large data sets and complex tasks.
In the field of education, such as IBM’s Watson education platform, AI technology is used to provide personalized learning experiences, demonstrating the potential of AI to improve the quality and efficiency of education. In music education, AI can analyze students’ practice data and provide targeted practice suggestions, for example, Yousician application is a successful case. 13
Overall, the application model of AI provides a wide range of tools and methods for dealing with complex problems and big data. As technology continues to advance, the application value and potential of these models in the field of education, especially music education, continues to grow.
Definition of personalized music instruction
Personalized music instruction is a method of instruction specific to the field of music education, which provides customized teaching content and methods according to the specific abilities, interests, and learning styles of individual students. The core philosophy of this teaching method is to recognize and respect the uniqueness of each student, through in-depth analysis of the learning needs and potential of individual students, in order to create a more targeted and effective teaching experience. Its purpose is not only to transfer skills and knowledge, but also to cultivate individual students’ musical creativity, expression ability and aesthetic concept. 14
To illustrate personalized music instruction more specifically, here are some practical examples:
Case 1: In a conservatory of music, teachers designed different lessons and exercises for each student’s vocal skills and musical understanding. Because student A has a good sense of rhythm, the teacher designed more rhythm training exercises for him; student B, on the other hand, is more prominent in melody expression, so the teacher provides him with more opportunities for melody creation.
Case 2: An app called SmartMusic that uses AI to analyze students’ playing and provide instant feedback. This way, each student can receive personalized advice and guidance based on their own performance.
