THE POSSIBILITIES OF ADAPTING TRADITIONAL AND MODERN METHODS TO THE PROCESS OF TEACHING MUSIC THEORY
Abstract
This study investigates the integration of traditional and modern methods in teaching music theory, aiming to enhance student engagement and understanding. By combining foundational lectures with interactive digital tools and project-based learning, the research demonstrates significant improvements in students’ theoretical knowledge and practical application. Qualitative feedback highlights increased motivation and enjoyment among participants. While challenges such as varying technological familiarity were noted, the overall findings underscore the effectiveness of a blended approach. This integration not only enriches the learning experience but also prepares students for a dynamic musical landscape, fostering a deeper appreciation for music theory.
