This paper employs literature review and survey methods to investigate the employment status of music graduates from the Guangdong Zhaoqing University School of Music over the past three years. It focuses on exploring the actual working conditions of graduates upon entering their units

the application and effectiveness of their knowledge and skills in practice

as well as the knowledge framework and needs they possess after 3-5 years of work. The study reveals that society and employers have new requirements and directions for talent each year. Coupled with the uneven distribution of faculty resources and examination systems across regions

these demands compel graduates to continuously acquire new knowledge and restructure their knowledge frameworks. In contrast

the curriculum design

teaching models

and implementation of teaching content during university years highlight a disconnect between higher education institutions' training and local practical needs. Most graduates also feel a gap between their knowledge and skills and classroom instruction. Through comparative analysis of the survey data

effective data are genuinely summarized and integrated. This analysis reflects on whether the training model

objectives

standards

curriculum design

and discipline construction of the musicology program at Zhaoqing University School of Music are reasonable and well-established. This will directly promote the reform and development of the musicology program at the school. Additionally

it has significant practical reference value

academic value

and social value in supporting the teaching reform of "new normal" education.
