Artificial Inteligence in Music Education: Creating Music with Suno AI
Paper Presentation in a Themed Session
Ana Martinez Hernandez
This research explores the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in music education through the use of Suno AI, an application that allows users to create songs by inputting prompts. The study involves education students who are tasked with creating a song using Suno AI, analyzing its educational implications, and providing feedback through a structured questionnaire. Suno AI enhances traditional music education by fostering increased engagement, offering personalized learning experiences, and supporting language acquisition, particularly in TESOL contexts. The AI-generated music serves not only as a tool for creative expression but also as a resource for language development, cultural awareness, and collaborative learning. The research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative data from the questionnaires with qualitative analysis of the students' experiences. Preliminary findings indicate that Suno AI democratizes music creation, making it accessible to all students regardless of their musical background, while also enhancing multidisciplinary learning and digital literacy. The study demonstrates the potential of AI to create more dynamic, inclusive, and effective learning environments, encouraging the integration of music across various educational disciplines. By highlighting the practical applications and benefits of Suno AI, this research advocates for its broader adoption in educational settings to enrich the learning experience.

This paper considers the ecological context of Al and its incorporation in learning. While specific computer programs and tools are identified in the course design and pedagogical analysis of "Ecological Art", a general elective course at Chung Yuan Christian University, Taiwan, the focal point rests on the unique attributes of student input, such as creativity, reflexivity, and lived experience. project-based learning results and reflections help contemplate the relationship between AI, curriculum design, and learning.
