Abstract
This systematic review examines literature on the Kodály, Orff, and Suzuki music teaching methods from 2014 to 2023 to assess their impact on enhancing students' musical abilities. Through meta-analysis, the findings indicate that these methods significantly improve students' creativity, music comprehension, expression, and instrument proficiency. Based on these results, it is recommended that music educators apply these methods flexibly, tailoring them to students’ needs. This may include exploring music creation through project-based learning, enhancing interactivity with technological tools, and fostering innovative thinking through interdisciplinary integration. Such approaches can optimize teaching effectiveness and contribute to the ongoing development and innovation in music education.
