Abstract:
The inclusion of music education in the school curriculum has been related to a wide range of cognitive and social advantages for students. However, music education is frequently underfunded, understaffed, and under-resourced in many emerging nations, including Uganda. This research looked into how using musical instruments affected learning in Uganda's post-secondary educational institutions. The research investigated the effects of music instrument use on student engagement, motivation, and academic performance using a mixed-methods approach. The findings highlighted a number of issues that music education in Uganda is currently facing while also demonstrating that the use of musical instruments in the classroom had a positive effect on student learning outcomes. This research sheds light on both the possible advantages and drawbacks of using musical instruments in post-secondary education.
