Abstract

This scholarly article delineates the conceptual framework and evolutionary trajectory of contemporary digital audio technology (DAT). It conducts a thorough examination of DAT's application within the realm of music education, focusing on the utilization of digital audio workstations (DAW) and related digital audio tools. The study aims to investigate the efficacy of blending DAT with conventional pedagogical approaches to enhance music instructional methodologies. The research is grounded in a case study conducted at the esteemed Sichuan Conservatory of Music in China, with a specific focus on the institution's popular singing courses. This case study serves to reflect on the intersection of technological advancement and the state of music education. A comprehensive analysis is undertaken to underscore the benefits of DAT in music pedagogy. The study involves a quantitative survey of 60 students enrolled in two distinct teaching environments: one employing DAT and the other adhering to traditional non-DAT methods. The findings suggest that the incorporation of digital audio technology significantly enhances classroom efficiency for educators and boosts student motivation in music education settings.
