ABSTRACT: This research paper delves into the critical historical aspect of music
in education and its profound significance in scholastic programs. This study
focuses on the exploration of instructional methodologies
in music history, highlighting the recognition of formal and artistic
templates, the comprehension of “genre”, and the importance of attentive
listening. The research further explores the
necessity for appropriate music history textbooks and endorses an
interdisciplinary approach. The primary research objective of this paper
centers on the innovative idea of a “musical history to be performed”,
emphasizing the active engagement with music as a vital instructional
technique. This research utilizes a robust methodological framework to
articulate the importance of both writing and playing music history. The study
employs an experiential learning approach,
emphasizing the importance of a first-hand engagement with music. The
goal is to discern the impact of these immersive educational experiences on
students’ learning, particularly regarding music history. By correlating
theoretical insights from textbooks with the practical experience of performing
historical music pieces, this study aims to shed light on the multi-dimensional
learning opportunities provided by this pedagogical approach.
