Abstract

This paper will investigate how the pipa can integrate multimedia technologies within its teaching practices for overcoming major teaching challenges such as teacher shortages, standardized teaching, and inadequate support for individual differences among students. The proposed model will include intelligent diagnostic systems using audio analysis for performance assessment and learning path recommendations, multi-media teaching aids with digitized scores and multi-angle teaching videos, as well as teaching plans based on individual students’ levels of proficiency. Design for cultural heritage content will focus on digital recreation of historical settings, multi-media interpretation for regional teaching characteristics, as well as developing aesthetic competency with links to traditional art values. Implementation assistance will include upgrading teachers’ digital literacy skills, improving evaluation systems with technical-humanistic dimensions, as well as developing institutional sharing platforms for teaching resources. This comprehensive teaching platform views multimedia technology as an enabler that complements existing pipa pedagogy while maintaining cultural authenticity, contributing a pipa-calibrated integration model, a cultural heritage innovation pathway, and implementation mechanisms that extend master-apprentice transmission through digital means.
