“…The use of mobile applications for educational purposes attracts a great deal of scholars’ attention. Its favorable effect on music students’ involvement receives considerable support from academic circles (Demirtaş & Özçelik, 2021 ). Similarly, researchers indicate that mobile applications can be effective in teaching a wide range of age groups.…”

This study sought to evaluate the effectiveness of introducing digital software in music education to improve academic performance and solfeggio class attendance. To assess academic performance, a test consisting of 25 theoretical questions and 25 practical tasks was developed. The Bologna model was used as an assessment system. The groups were compared by calculating the Student’s t-test in terms of the “Test Score” and “Missed Classes” parameters. The collected data revealed that the mean score for the experimental group was 87.50 out of 100, while in the control group, it was much lower, namely 65.37. Likewise, the control group was characterized by satisfactory (D) performance in mastering solfeggio, with the mean score ranging between 64 and 73, whereas experimental group participants had an average of 82–89. The statistical data processing results showed that the six-month use of the ChordIQ app contributed to more effective mastering of solfeggio by amateur musicians. At the same time, the difference between the groups turned out to be significant in both cases, so the research hypothesis was confirmed for both of them (p < 0.05). Overall, the results showed that ChordIQ is a useful mobile app teaching the user music in an exciting and interactive way. The findings collected can be used to update traditional solfeggio curricula, conduct scientific studies in the field of interactive music education, as well as create new dedicated software.

This literature review explores the impact of music on tonal language learning, with a focus on Mandarin Chinese. Utilising searches across major databases such as ERIC (EBSCO), ProQuest Central, Google Scholar, and Web of Science from 2005 to 2024, we selected relevant peer‐reviewed English‐language articles examining music's role in aiding tone acquisition and related cognitive processes. From 30 publications, findings are categorised into theoretical relationships, cognitive effects, melodic intonation therapy (MIT) applications and digital music applications. Theoretical frameworks emphasise the correlation between musicality and language proficiency, highlighting musicians' enhanced tonal perception and production skills. Cognitive effects include music's influence on pronunciation, memory and cultural understanding. MIT's effectiveness in tonal language learning is then discussed, emphasising its potential to improve cortical representations of tone categories. Finally, digital music applications are examined, focusing on language learning apps incorporating music for personalised and engaging learning experiences. The review finds significant literature reporting that music‐based methodologies, aligned with experiential learning paradigms, hold significant potential in Mandarin Chinese acquisition. They enhance listening comprehension, spoken language production, and understanding of grammar and syntax. Similar to MIT principles, music‐assisted tonal language learning utilises exaggerated melody and rhythm to improve language production, especially with complex words. This review is motivated by the recognition of music's potential benefits in language education, especially for tonal languages. It aims to provide educators and researchers with insights into effective methods and applications, guiding instructional practices and stimulating further empirical investigations in this interdisciplinary field. Ultimately, it contributes to the ongoing discourse on optimising tonal language learning methodologies.
