There are a growing number of Artificial Intelligence (AI) powered applications impacting the modern music landscape. As examples, music generators such as AIVA and stem splitters such as the one embedded in FL Studio are both engaging and easily accessible for the music enthusiast and educator alike. But while tools such as these are important to the creation and evolution of music, and a lot of fun to use, they do little to help the day-to-day logistical tasks faced by music educators. Further still, they do not aid music educators in important mandates such as regional and national standards alignments, assessment, or quantifiably reporting student progress. There are, however, a growing number of AI powered tools that can be harnessed and utilized by the music educator to accomplish all these mandated tasks, all while saving one often forgotten but highly valuable commodity, time. While ChatGPT, Gemini, and other AI chatbots are powerful and useful tools, there are some AI powered websites such as MagicSchool.ai and Schoolai.com that are custom designed for educators. In this presentation, I will demonstrate how education focused AI powered tools can be used to enhance student engagement, easily align curriculum with state and national standards, and provide a simple and robust vehicle for music student assessment that is completely quantifiable, all while saving valuable time for the educator.
