This study examines the impact of technological integration on the development of urban high school music education in Nanchang, China, through the lens of Rogers' Diffusion of Innovations Theory. By focusing on the stages of knowledge, persuasion, decision-making, and implementation, the research explores how technology has influenced teaching practices, student engagement, and educational outcomes. The study employs a quantitative research design, utilizing a stratified random sample of 375 students from a total population of 16,000. Data collection is facilitated through online surveys via platforms like WeChat and email, ensuring accessibility and efficiency. The analysis, conducted using SPSS, identifies correlations between technological integration and the key stages of adoption, providing insights into the factors that drive or hinder its implementation in music education. The findings highlight both opportunities and challenges, including disparities in teacher preparedness, availability of resources, and cultural attitudes toward technology in music education. While technology has the potential to enhance creativity, collaboration, and accessibility, its integration is uneven across schools due to varying levels of institutional support and economic resources. The study underscores the importance of targeted professional development and infrastructure investment to bridge these gaps. This research contributes to the academic discourse on technological integration in education and offers practical recommendations for policymakers and educators aiming to modernize music education in urban settings. It also emphasizes the transformative potential of technology in fostering 21st-century skills such as digital literacy and creative problem-solving, ultimately enriching the educational landscape in Nanchang.
