Flipped Lessons and the Secondary-Level Performance-Based Music Classroom: A Review of Literature and Suggestions for Practice

Abstract

The purpose of this literature review was to synthesize relevant research concerning the blended learning and flipped lesson models, and their potential role in performance-based music classrooms. I provide theoretical backgrounds of these models and introduce Puentedura’s Substitution Augmentation Modification Redefinition model as a possible framework for implementation. Overall effectiveness and challenges of the blended learning and flipped lesson models are discussed. Finally, research and experience-based suggestions for practice are provided to help music educators implement these learning models in their classrooms.
