Abstract
This study explores innovative and interactive methods for teaching the topic “The place of Uzbek music in world music” in secondary school music education. It emphasizes the importance of moving beyond traditional teacher-centered approaches toward student-centered learning strategies that enhance engagement, creativity, and intercultural understanding. The research analyzes the effectiveness of project-based learning, collaborative activities, multimedia integration, and role-playing in improving students’ knowledge of Uzbek musical heritage and its global connections. Findings show that these methods significantly increase student motivation, critical thinking, and cultural awareness. The study also highlights the role of teacher competence and digital technologies in successful implementation. Overall, the research confirms that innovative pedagogical approaches make music lessons more meaningful and support the integration of national music into a global educational context.
