Overall Research Project Description ChatGPT is a language model invented by OpenAI which is good at generating human-like conversations. It can discuss various topics, including the field of music study, which will be processed in this project. It can also supply suggestions and assistance according to the questions it receives. However, according to its official statements, ChatGPT works based on patterns in data instead of true understanding, which means it could make up something is not correct.

Research assistants will get the music-relating topics from me at the beginning of the project, if they have their topics that also works. They will explore how much the ChatGPT could help, guide, and inspire, during their independent music study, which will be leaded by themselves instead of professors as in universities or colleges. After assistants finished their topics, they will work with me to discuss how they feel about the whole progression. Assistants are expected to conclude their strategies to maximize the value of ChatGPT, as well as their concerns, at the very end of the project.

Research Tasks There are two primary research tasks for this project: asking questions to ChatGPT and data collection.

Asking Questions:
You will get a topic from me, and you need to do the research with using ChatGPT. I will help you to organize your research schedule. Ask questions to ChatGPT whenever you think it is an appropriate point. Please consider what valuable questions you can ask to ChatGPT, because the questions can be simple or complex, the point is how much help you can get from ChatGPT after asking those questions.

Data Collection:
You will need to collect and record all the questions you ask, and all the answers you get from ChatGPT. Afterwards, we will work together and examine if those answers are correct or useful.

Skills that research assistant(s) may need: Skills that research assistant(s) may need: Recommended (basic) proficiency in MS Word

Mentoring Philosophy Encouraging growth through challenges is important in my mentoring philosophy. In recent months, the emergence of ChatGPT has captured the attention of many. As a musician, my consideration is around the ways in which ChatGPT will reshape and influence our approach to music study. I firmly believe that humanity's adaptability to and utilization of these evolving technologies are of utmost importance.
For students, when provided with tools such as ChatGPT, it becomes significant for them to grasp the significance of leveraging these tools and transforming them into potent aids. The ability to master new technologies and effectively integrate them, particularly when incorporated into personal independent study, is indispensable to both students' careers and their overall lives.
This project is open to all major students, acknowledging that music is an integral part of everyone's life. This universality implies that each one of us has the potential to become a musician. I hope this project will help people to build their personality stronger, and help them face to the new challenges bravely in the future.
