ABSTRACT:
This study explores integrating inquiry-based learning (IBL) and task-based learning (TBL) in music education to enhance student engagement, creativity, and critical thinking. The study emphasizes the complementary roles of IBL and TBL in promoting active learning and real-world application by looking at their respective theoretical foundations. The blended approach is implemented through structured musical tasks, encouraging students to explore, create, and perform. Results indicate that combining these methods improves students' musical skills and develops their problem-solving abilities and independent learning, making it a valuable pedagogical strategy in music education.

KEY WORDS: inquiry-based learning (IBL), task-based learning (TBL), music education, teaching approach.
