In order to further integrate resources, promote the diversified development of music education and teaching, and help students better carry out music learning, this study, by analyzing the connotation of the development of new media at this stage and the necessity of the application of new media in education and teaching, diversified music teaching methods such as "micro lesson" and "flip class" based on new media technology have been introduced and whether the new media technology is used in piano music teaching in three universities has been investigated. It is concluded that in the development of music teaching in colleges and universities in China, the use of new media remains superficial. Influenced by the traditional way of teaching thinking, the flexibility of teachers' teaching methods needs to be improved. However, teachers and students are full of expectations for the development prospects of piano music education under the new media. In view of the problems existing in the application of new media in music teaching in colleges and universities in China at present, four corresponding suggestions have been put forward to help music teaching in colleges and universities develop and innovate towards a diversified line of defense, and to better promote the development and implementation of music education and teaching.
