Abstract:
With the continuous advancement of informatization and intelligent education, the field of music
education is undergoing systematic transformation in teaching philosophy, curriculum structure, and learning
approaches. The Orff music teaching method, characterized by its philosophy of “elementary music education”and integrated practical nature, has become an important approach to cultivating students’ musical literacy and
creativity. However, traditional Orff courses still show limitations in content organization, ability alignment, and
personalized learning support. As a key technology integrating artificial intelligence with education, the
knowledge graph can systematically integrate teaching knowledge, competency goals, and learning resources, thus providing precise support for curriculum design. Based on the theory of knowledge graphs, this paper
constructs a multidimensional knowledge graph for the Orff music teaching curriculum and implements it in the
music education program of a normal university in Shandong Province before September 2025. Combining
literature research and action research, this study systematically illustrates the process of knowledge graph
construction, curriculum application, and teaching outcomes. The findings indicate that the Orff music teaching
curriculum built upon knowledge graphs enhances the logical structure and visualization of the teaching system, supports the formation of personalized learning paths, and significantly improves students’ rhythm composition
and musical expression abilities.
