Educators are finding it challenging to use new teaching methods while keeping effective music pedagogy. The main problem is making a smooth change that keeps students interested and motivated. Balancing the use of new methods and keeping good music teaching is a big challenge for educators. The study aims to explore innovations in music pedagogy by educators and their impact on the motivation of undergraduate music students. This study employed the library research method for data collection. The study identified two primary themes related to innovations in music pedagogy and the motivation of undergraduate music students. The theme of innovations in music pedagogy includes: i) the approach to teaching music, ii) curriculum design, music instruments, and teaching tools, and iii) flexibility and creativity in teaching. Furthermore, the motivation of undergraduate music students involves i) educator's inspiration and music learning motivation, ii) the application of curriculum, music instruments, and teaching tools, and iii) problem-solving, expression, and appreciation in music. This study concludes that balancing innovation and effective pedagogy is crucial in music education. Navigating this transformative landscape requires careful consideration to maintain student engagement. The study contributes insights into the impact of innovative teaching approaches on student motivation in music education, identifying key themes and factors influencing motivation. Future studies should explore specific strategies for balancing tradition and innovation, investigate long-term effects on musical proficiency, and examine the role of technology in enhancing music education.
