The four teaching strategies in music are:

1. Reflective Practice: Involves critical thinking and awareness of one’s own teaching methods and their impact on students’ learning. This includes adapting and modifying plans based on observations and reflections.

2. Observational Practice: This involves watching others teach, analyzing their methods, and learning from their experiences. It can provide valuable insights and ideas for improving one’s own teaching practice.

3. Collaborative Practice: Collaborating with other music teachers or professionals to share knowledge, resources, and expertise can enhance teaching and learning experiences. This can include co-planning lessons, team-teaching, and peer mentoring.

4. Inquiry-Based Practice: This involves posing questions about teaching and learning, investigating them, and using the findings to improve practice. It is a student-centered approach that encourages curiosity, critical thinking, and independence.
