With the deepening of globalization, the field of music education is also facing cross-cultural challenges and opportunities. This paper explores the theoretical foundations, main challenges, and improvement strategies of music education in a multicultural environment. By comparatively analyzing music education practices in different cultural contexts, key issues such as cultural differences, curriculum adaptability, language barriers, and sensitivity of evaluation systems are identified, and corresponding solutions are proposed. These strategies include developing teaching methods adaptable to multicultural backgrounds, enhancing the inclusiveness of teaching materials, overcoming language barriers, and establishing fair and effective evaluation systems. The research aims to provide a bridge between theory and practice for music educators to promote the development of global music education.
