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.
