The current trend of mass entrepreneurship and innovation encourages college students to approach the new opportunities and challenges of employment with a positive mindset, while also expanding the opportunities for music majors to engage in “double creation.” The article establishes a model of music education based on the double helix model and outlines the competence structure and framework necessary for cultivating music talent. To quantify the cultivation of entrepreneurship and innovation ability in music education, this article introduces the Rasch model to assess and analyze the level of students’ entrepreneurship and innovation ability. To analyze the importance of entrepreneurship and innovation capability in future career planning, the SEM for parameter estimation using PLS is introduced to construct a model of influencing factors. Through examples, we analyze the quality of students’ dual-venture level, which integrates entrepreneurship and innovation abilities in music education, and explore the degree of influence this level has on career planning. The mean value of the measure (in logits value) of students’ bi-initiative level is 3.463, placing them at level IV overall. The study found that the cultivation of entrepreneurship and innovation ability in music education significantly influences future career planning, with path coefficients of 0.572 and 0.337, respectively. The integration of entrepreneurship and innovation-based teaching content in music education can help enhance students’ ability to plan for their future careers and contribute to the high-quality development of music professionals.
