INTRODUCTION
Teaching traditional singing in higher education institutions remains one of the important and pressing issues. The art of singing, as an integral part of our culture and national identity, has garnered significant academic and research attention. Simultaneously, with the rapid integration of digital technologies into the 21st-century educational process, there has emerged a need to fundamentally renew pedagogical practices. Digital technologies serve as vital tools in education, which, in turn, necessitates the development of modern methods for teaching traditional singing.
According to 2020 statistics, as a result of reforms aimed at modernizing the educational process using digital tools in higher education institutions in Uzbekistan, 65% of students utilized interactive forms of education. These figures confirm the growing interest among students in acquiring knowledge through digital platforms. Moreover, the use of modern technologies in teaching traditional singing, including video lessons, online seminars, and the creation of virtual ensembles, is developing as a specific methodological direction.
In the process of applying modern teaching methods to traditional singing, the use of innovative pedagogical approaches, including distance learning, digital archives, and audiovisual resources, is of great importance. This not only enhances students' creative potential but also shapes their attitudes towards the art of singing. From this perspective, integrating modern teaching methods into the traditional singing curriculum in higher education institutions has emerged as a crucial scientific and pedagogical task.
