Abstract:

This paper initiates its investigation by conducting an in-depth analysis of bio-acoustic technology, particularly its integration within the realm of music education. By understanding the applications of this biological technology, the study aims to harness its potential to revolutionize music teaching methodologies. The research then progresses to the development of educational materials, systematically crafted to incorporate bio-acoustic principles. These materials are designed not only to be comprehensive but also to enhance students' engagement and learning outcomes by leveraging bio-acoustics' unique capabilities in auditory learning. After creating these materials, the paper provides a thorough, systematic, and objective evaluation of their effectiveness in the music education landscape. It explores how these bio-acoustic-based tools meet students' diverse needs and interests, as evidenced by survey results indicating varied preferences among students and teachers towards different aspects of music learning—30% of the respondents favored singing, while 18% preferred appreciation. These insights guide the pedagogical strategies recommended, emphasizing practical application. The teaching materials are thus designed to integrate musical composition theories deeply with practical skills, enabling students to apply theoretical knowledge effectively in real-world contexts. The findings underscore the transformative potential of bio-acoustic technologies in music education. By facilitating a deeper engagement with music through tailored educational tools, students can experience an enriched learning process. Ultimately, this research aims to provide significant theoretical and practical contributions to the field of music education, offering valuable insights into the development of more effective and engaging teaching materials that align with modern educational needs and technologies.
