Abstract

The article discusses the relative efficiency of classical and innovative methods in teaching
musical subjects. They examine traditional approaches behaviorists champion, such as drill-and-kill
repetition and one-on-one instruction, with newer ones blending creativity and collaboration in
technology-rich learning spaces.
Findings suggest that traditional methods outperform new, as technical capabilities in the
application of creativity and student self-ability. Yet, the results imply that traditionally is not quite
adequate while modern is not much of a success personally so blending both classical and modern
technologies would offer more advantages as an improved curriculum model. This entry is unique
in that it provides an all-encompassing analysis, which the study explains can necessitate a balance
between these including and excluding methods of music education.
Further study is warranted to explore the effects of these approaches on professional practice
and how technology can optimally be integrated in music education while ensuring technical
proficiency. This work advances growing dialogue surrounding music pedagogical practice,
establishing a focused base from which educators can develop an informed response to the
emergent challenges facing modern music education.
