从练习到创作：AI如何成为音乐学习者的“智能支架”

From Practice to Creation: How AI Serves as an “Intelligent Scaffold” for Music Learners

摘要: 本文探讨了人工智能(AI)在音乐教育中如何作为“智能支架”，支持学习者从技能练习高效过渡到音乐创作。研究首先从理论层面界定了“智能支架”在音乐学习中的概念与程序性作用，随后通过一项为期一学期的混合方法实证研究，检验了AI辅助音乐创作课程的实际效果。研究对60名学生进行追踪，结果显示：与传统教学组相比，接受AI辅助(结合Suno、ACE Studio等工具)的实验组在音乐创作自我效能感、创造性思维(TTCT独创性得分)以及最终作品的创意性(CAT专家评分)上均有显著提升。质性访谈进一步揭示，AI作为“点子生成”和“技术助手”，有效帮助学生克服创作初期的灵感障碍和技术难题。研究表明，AI智能支架通过赋能创作实践、提升创作自信，为音乐学习者架设了一条从练习到创作的有效路径。文章最后从师生AI素养、评价体系改革等方面提出了推动AI在音乐教育中负责任应用的建议。

Abstract: This paper explores how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can serve as an “intelligent scaffold” in music education to support learners in their effective transition from skill-based practice to creative composition. The study first defines the conceptual and procedural roles of the “intelligent scaffold” in music learning from a theoretical perspective. It then tests the practical effectiveness of an AI-assisted music composition course through a semester-long mixed-methods empirical study. Tracking 60 students, the research reveals that, compared to the control group receiving traditional instruction, the experimental group using AI assistance (incorporating tools like Suno and ACE Studio) showed significant improvements in music creation self-efficacy, creative thinking (as measured by TTCT originality scores), and the creativity of their final compositions (as rated by experts using CAT). Qualitative interviews further reveal that AI acts as an “idea generator” and a “technical assistant,” effectively helping students overcome initial creative blocks and technical difficulties. The study concludes that the AI intelligent scaffold empowers creative practice and boosts confidence, thereby establishing an effective pathway for music learners from practice to creation. Finally, the paper proposes recommendations for the responsible application of AI in music education, focusing on aspects such as enhancing the AI literacy of teachers and students and reforming evaluation systems.
