The cultivation of students' music aesthetic ability is very much affected by the teaching methods. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of the use of new media in teaching music on students' music literacy, music appreciation and music performance. This survey involved 130 college students from Henan Finance University in Zhengzhou, Henan Province. Regression analysis was used to measure the impact of use of new media on the 3 dimensions of aesthetic ability. The study found that the use of new media has a significant impact on students' music aesthetic ability. The use of new media by teachers has the greatest impact on students' music performance. Secondly, it has also had a certain impact on students' music appreciation. The impact on music literacy is minimal among the three dimensions. Therefore, in music education in the future, teachers will comprehensively use teaching tools to more effectively and targetedly strengthen the cultivation of students' music aesthetic ability.
