The advent of artificial intelligence (AI) has given rise to new tools relevant for music education (Holmes et al., 2019; Bade, 2023, KMK 2024) - especially in the field of songwriting. As AI-supported tools change musical production processes and place new demands on educational practice (Buchborn & Treß, 2023), teachers must be enabled to use such tools in their lessons openly, critically and responsibly (KMK, 2024). Thus, the KuMuS-ProNeD project in Freiburg developed the continuous teacher training course “Songwriting with Artificial Intelligence - Digital Partners in the Creative Process?!”. It is based on current recommendations for effective teacher training (Sobbe et al., 2025), the results of a needs analysis among music teachers (Buchborn et al., in press), and the recommendations of the Standing Conference of the Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs on the use of AI in education (KMK, 2024). It enables music teachers to integrate AI technologies into their teaching as part of songwriting processes and to guide students in a critical and constructive approach to AI.To tie in with the teachers' prior knowledge, the training course has a modular and adaptive structure, comprising an online self-study module or, alternatively, participation in the university seminar, a practice-oriented full day, a school trial phase lasting several weeks, and an optional half-day reflection workshop. In the self-study module, teachers work on their subject-specific didactic and scientific knowledge concerning songwriting and the functioning of AI as well as their knowledge on current legal frameworks. The full-day program offers space for participants to gain their own practical artistic experience developing their own songs using AI tools, presenting them in a workshop concert, and reflecting on their AI use based on criteria such as creativity and authorship. Teachers then develop their own teaching concepts using existing task modules, optionally in cooperation with students from the seminar. After a trial phase lasting several weeks, everyone has the opportunity to reflect on their experiences as part of a professional practice community. The training thus not only addresses the technical and didactic skills of music teachers, but also encourages active artistic and creative engagement and practical testing of the possible role of AI in songwriting processes.
