Much of the development that has occurred in educational systems has impacted on what is now mentioned in these musical subjects. However, such a traditional music pedagogy is increasingly complemented by trending pedagogical technologies: digital platforms, artificial intelligence (AI), multimedia tools and other interactive environments for learning. UNESCO recognized it as a science and started building PTH in open educational space, but specialists experienced challenges during its application. Using an analytical and conceptual research design to explore the topic, the study synthesizes existing theoretical and empirical literature (2015–2026) in order to highlight trends, affordances and limitations as music pedagogy faces technology-based musical practice. The findings indicate that existing technologies will improve personalization, engagement accessibility and assessment in music learning. But persistent digital divides, teacher preparedness and ethical concerns remain major hurdles. Unless the art that deconstructs and sulks, maintains: do not mistake revolutionary and also traditional criteria.
