This study delves into multicultural music education by investigating the impact of innovative teaching approaches on students' learning outcomes, with a particular focus on the mediating role of cultural awareness. The research centres on a captivating case study conducted at Anyang Normal University in China, where various teaching innovations have been implemented to enrich the educational experience. These innovations encompass integrating diverse music cultures into the curriculum, technology into music education, collaborative learning and group projects, assessment strategies tailored for multicultural music education, and professional development opportunities for teachers. This study also considers the moderating effect of music teachers' experiences and expertise by scrutinising the correlation between these teaching innovations and students' learning outcomes. Moreover, this study included students' prior musical background and knowledge as control variables. To gather comprehensive data, surveys and interviews with students and teachers will be conducted, complemented by an analysis of students' performance in multicultural music education. This study sought to offer a deeper understanding of the role of teaching innovation in multicultural music education and its influence on students' learning outcomes. By exploring the mediating and moderating factors that affect this relationship, this study aimed to shed light on the complex dynamics within the field. The findings of this study contribute significantly to the advancement of knowledge in this domain.
