Abstract: 
The spread of Cantonese music in Malaysia and its impact on the diversification of Malaysian music education is in the spotlight. Cantonese music has injected new momentum into the development of Malaysian music education and has driven the development of Malaysian music into diversity. The interview method was used to visit the Malaysian Chinese Association to understand how the early Chinese community spread Cantonese music in Malaysia; and then uses the historical method to explore the contribution of Cantonese music development to Malaysian music education by comparing the available literature. The results of the study show that Cantonese music contributed to the shift of music education in Malaysia from the top to the bottom of society, making the reason for the change of focus of education in Malaysia. Educational resources began to reach out to the whole society, which stirred up the desire for music education among the lower class in Malaysia. At a later stage of development, Cantonese music in Malaysia gradually merged with the local music culture. From no orchestra in elementary and advanced education grew to more than 106 Chinese music teams. From individual immigrants to more than 17 Chinese congregations. From having no major music ensemble competition to a Chinese band competition once every two or three years. Cantonese music has not only expanded the scope of music education in Malaysia but also injected new musical and cultural vitality and enriched the methods and forms of music education. The development of music education in Malaysia has also indirectly stimulated the development of Cantonese music, with the emergence of school-level Chinese orchestras and Chinese music competitions. Malaysian music education has developed online music education on the Internet, and the music education system has gradually become globalized.
