This study assessed the application of innovative teaching methods among 150 instrumental music students and 15 teachers in colleges and universities in Hunan Province, China using a questionnaire survey. The results found that most students held positive attitudes towards and were satisfied with innovative teaching methods such as technology integration and collaborative learning. Teachers' evaluation of innovative teaching methods differed significantly depending on the major they taught. Students were satisfied with the teaching effectiveness but only moderately satisfied with the curriculum. Teachers' assessment of teaching effectiveness was consistent with that of the students. There was a significant positive correlation between innovative teaching methods and teaching effectiveness. This study identified existing problems in current instrumental music courses and provided a basis for improvement. It also validated the effects of innovative teaching methods which will facilitate the transformation and innovation of curriculum teaching models.
