Teaching methods play a crucial role in the programme of K-12 music education as the effective teaching methods can efficiently stimulate students’ interest on music, engage them to explore the world of music, and improve learning outcomes. Building on the framework of PRISMA, this systematic review will measure the applications, advantages, and challenges of various instructional strategies through journal articles analysis from Web of Science and Scopus (2016–2024). Although innovative methods such as using high-technology and cultural-responsive teaching have shown the potential in improving student’s engagement and interest on music, the negative impact such as insufficient resource, the adaptability of students for curriculum, and insufficient training of teachers should be also concerned. This review stresses the significance of using mix teaching models (traditional and innovative), and it also provides valuable insights for educators and curriculum designer in order to optimize music education for K-12 students.
