The integration of digital technologies into music education has significantly transformed the process of learning and interpreting classical piano repertoire. This article explores the possibilities of using modern digital tools in the study of classical piano works, focusing on their impact on practice efficiency, interpretative understanding, and performance quality. The research analyzes various technological resources, including music notation software, digital pianos, metronome and recording applications, artificial intelligence-based learning platforms, and virtual masterclasses. The study highlights how these tools can enhance students’ technical skills, facilitate independent learning, and provide access to diverse pedagogical approaches. Additionally, the article discusses potential challenges associated with digital learning, such as overreliance on technology and reduced traditional auditory training. The findings suggest that a balanced integration of digital technologies and conventional teaching methods can lead to more effective and comprehensive piano education.
