Abstract
This article presents a preliminary mixed-method study that explores the integration of blended teaching in music education at Chinese universities in the post-pandemic era. The study investigates the perceptions and attitudes of university music teachers towards blended instruction, using qualitative and quantitative data collection and analysis techniques. The Narrative Literature Review (NLR) is used to define online education and blended learning in music education, while the Delphi method is employed to examine the data through questionnaires distributed to specialists. The main focus of the article is on developing a conceptual framework using the Input-Process-Output (IPO) model to illustrate how music education can be introduced through a synchronous blended learning platform at Chinese universities. This framework aims to bridge the gap between education and technology in the post-pandemic digital era. The theoretical input underpinning this study is summarized, and the Delphi iteration process is used to obtain a sophisticated understanding of viewpoints and knowledge from music and mixed teaching experts. The IPO model is expected to yield complete agreement on complex topics. By utilizing blended teaching methods in music education, this research addresses the evolving needs of Chinese universities and provides valuable insights for the field's advancement. It also offers suggestions for future directions and serves as a guide for the study's proponents.
