Abstract

In the context of global talent competition and the era of artificial intelligence, STEAM Education Philosophy has become a vital approach to cultivating interdisciplinary and innovative talents. Its integration with arts education represents a major trend in international educational reform. This paper systematically analyzes the points of intersection between STEAM education and the music discipline in areas such as Science and Technology. To address current challenges—such as Fragmentation of Teaching Content, Traditionalization of Teaching Methods, and Absence of Evaluation System—this study proposes promoting Classroom Practice Transformation through Project-Based Learning, reconstructing curriculum content by integrating Interdisciplinary Resources, and enhancing music instruction through Teaching Improvement Strategies such as the Dual-Dimensional Evaluation System. These strategies aim to strengthen the Interdisciplinarity of music education and provide new approaches for cultivating Compound Art Talents with strong STEAM Literacy.
