Abstract

This article reviews the application of active learning and collaborative learning in music education, focusing on their combined impact on students' musical performance skills and learning attitudes. Through an analysis of existing literature, this study identifies key theoretical perspectives and practical applications of these approaches. A general framework is proposed to guide educators in integrating active and collaborative learning strategies effectively. By synthesizing insights from previous research, this review highlights the potential of these pedagogical methods to modernize music education and address current challenges in fostering comprehensive student development. The study contributes to the field by offering a theoretical foundation and practical recommendations for improving instructional practices in diverse educational contexts.
