Abstract: This article aims to explore the impact of design thinking in music majors on self-efficacy and creativity. Design thinking, as an innovative problem-solving approach, emphasizes user centricity and systematically extracts, teaches, learns, and applies human centered technologies through five stages: empathy, definition, conceptualization, prototyping, and testing. In music education, design thinking not only helps to enhance students' innovation ability, but also has a profound impact on their self-efficacy and daily creativity. Research has found that 1) Design thinking guides students to examine issues in music creation and performance from a broader perspective, encourages them to think from multiple angles and dimensions, breaks conventions, explores new forms of artistic expression, and ultimately enhances the self-efficacy of music majors. 2) Design thinking promotes the creative development of music majors. Design thinking emphasizes the ability of teamwork and collaboration. Through collaboration and communication with team members, students can learn different creative ideas and techniques, expand their horizons and ways of thinking. This cross disciplinary communication and collaboration not only enriches their music creation materials, but also stimulates their innovative thinking and imagination, making them more creative and imaginative in music creation. 3) Design thinking encourages students to transform theoretical knowledge into practical operations through practice and application, and to improve their works through continuous trial and error and improvement. This practice oriented teaching method helps to enhance students' practical operation ability and problem-solving ability, making them more confident and composed in music performance, and demonstrating higher artistic level.
