Music Education & AI: Innovations, Challenges, and Possibilities
July – September 2025
Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping the music landscape — from composition and performance to education and analysis. This workshop will explore the evolving relationship between AI and music, highlighting creative techniques, notable case studies, and emerging ethical concerns. Participants will examine the role of AI in music education today, weighing its benefits, challenges, and future potential. A range of tools will be introduced for learning, transcription, production, and experimentation, including platforms like Melody Scanner, Tone Transfer, and Udio. The session will conclude with a hands-on group activity designed to spark discussion, creativity, and critical thinking around the role of AI in musical learning and expression.
How It Works: This presentation is available on demand as a field trip experience at Studio B Discovery Lab. Faculty of Education instructors can book a session and bring their students for an engaging, hands-on learning opportunity. Faculty of Education instructors, faculty, and staff are also welcome to book a visit to experience the presentation individually or with a group.
