At the end of 2022, generative artificial intelligence (Gen-AI) burst onto the public scene with the release of the ChatGPT tool by Open AI. Like the rest of the working world, music professionals became aware of the power and development potential of AI, but also of its limits and risks, raising a large number of sometimes contradictory questions.

What are the fundamental principles that drive the black boxes of today’s generative artificial intelligence tools? What AI tools are currently available in the field of music? What are their accessibility, ease of use, areas of application and possible uses in the various fields of musical practice and creation? In particular, how can they be integrated into music teaching practices, and how can they be used to develop teaching methods?

This is the set of questions that this two-part lecture set out to answer, alternating theoretical presentations with demonstrations.
