By examining the historical development of music education in Thailand and the integration of traditional music into formal and community-based programs, the paper highlights how music education serves as a key mechanism for transmitting cultural knowledge and fostering national identity. The paper also addresses the challenges of modernity, globalization, and resource constraints while emphasizing the opportunities for innovation through technology, lifelong learning, and intergenerational engagement.
