Modern music education is not limited only to listening and performing activities, but it also includes the systematic acquisition of theoretical concepts related to music language, musical forms, rhythm, melody, harmony, notation, national and world music heritage, and creative interpretation. The effectiveness of music culture classes largely depends on the pedagogical approaches and methodologies used in presenting theoretical material in a meaningful and engaging way. This article examines the methodological foundations of teaching theoretical knowledge in music culture classes, focusing on innovative pedagogical technologies, student-centered learning, interactive educational methods, integration of national musical heritage, and psychological aspects of music perception. The article also analyzes the importance of developing theoretical competence through practical activities, including singing, listening, rhythm exercises, and creative tasks. The role of teachers in organizing educational processes that encourage independent thinking, creativity, and emotional responsiveness is highlighted throughout the study. Special attention is given to the integration of information technologies, multimedia resources, and modern didactic tools in music education. The research demonstrates that the successful teaching of theoretical knowledge in music culture classes contributes not only to students’ musical literacy but also to their moral, spiritual, and cultural development. Furthermore, the article discusses the significance of combining traditional and innovative teaching methods to improve the quality of music education in general secondary schools and higher educational institutions. The study concludes that systematic and methodologically grounded teaching of theoretical concepts enhances students’ understanding of music as an artistic and cultural phenomenon while strengthening their cognitive, communicative, and creative competencies.
