Summary/Abstract: This article focuses on changing the paradigm in music education that results from the development of audiation. In 2004; at the Kazimierz Wielki University in Bydgoszcz; in the specialization of early school education; students started the course based on the assumptions of the theory of music learning by Edwin E. Gordon. For 15 years of the curriculum implementation in the Innovative Music Education module; the course was evaluated in six problem areas: 1. Mental value of audiation skills; 2. The value of the process of learning music through audiation; 3. The value of the three-step process of learning music; 4. The possibility of optimizing the teaching process; 5. Usefulness of the studied designs; 6. The ability to learn music. As a result of fifteen years of implementing the strategic plan focused on the audiation model of music education; there have been changes in the minds of students; and the requirements for raising technical and practical skills have increased. For this reason; it was recognized that information and communication technology (ICT); which is carefully planned; designed and integrated with good pedagogical practice; can support the motivation to learn music and improve its quality.
