This study examines the integration of artificial intelligence (AI)-based digital tools into the choral practice of older adults in Cuenca, Ecuador. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the research draws on a literature review, analysis of local choral experiences, and interviews with choral directors. The study proposes a hybrid pedagogical model that combines traditional choral methodologies with AI-supported digital resources to enhance vocal training, repertoire preparation, and learner autonomy. Findings suggest that AI tools can support individual musical learning and aural skills development; however, their implementation is constrained by factors such as digital literacy, access to technology, and teacher training. The study contributes to the field of music education by proposing an innovative framework for integrating AI into community-based choral practice for older adults.
