Resumo

Music education has long played a vital role in cultural development, and new technologies now enable innovative approaches to enhance its effectiveness. This study examines the psychological impact and academic outcomes of employing virtual reality (VR) technologies in teaching Chinese percussion instruments. Research methods included analysis, experimental implementation, and testing. Results indicate that the bangu and paigu are the most suitable drums for percussive performance, with bangu achieving higher psychological impact in Xu Changjun’s Sword Dance (45.8 points) compared to paigu (42.5 points). Data further revealed substantial improvements when VR technologies were integrated into instruction, with increases in technical skills (30%), music theory knowledge (28.6%), and musical interpretation (29.4%). Moreover, VR enhanced psychological engagement by 41.7% relative to traditional training. These findings suggest that innovative technologies not only improve practical and theoretical outcomes but also foster deeper psychological involvement in the learning process. The research underscores the value of integrating VR into music education, highlighting its potential to enrich both performance and comprehension. Ultimately, the introduction of such methods can enhance the quality of instruction in music schools and universities, supporting the development of more effective educational programs.
