The study explores the educational, aesthetic, and cultural significance of traditional Uzbek instruments, highlighting ways to enhance instructional effectiveness through interactive methods, digital technologies, and integrative pedagogical strategies. A combination of literature analysis, pedagogical observation, interviews, and experimental–practical methods was employed in the research.
