This article examines the pedagogical potential of digital technologies in developing students’ musical creativity in higher education. The study focuses on digital audio resources, music notation software, interactive learning platforms, multimedia materials and creative digital projects as instruments for improving students’ musical knowledge and practical skills. Particular attention is given to the development of independent learning, musical perception, creative thinking and collaborative activities. The analysis demonstrates that the purposeful integration of digital tools into music education can create additional opportunities for individual learning trajectories and creative self-expression. At the same time, digital technologies should complement rather than replace traditional forms of musical activity, including performance, listening, singing and collective music-making.
