The landscape of higher music education in Uzbekistan is currently a site of profound and necessary negotiation, standing at the intersection of a deep-seated cultural heritage and the demands of a globalized world. This article examines the complex process of bridging the nation's revered musical traditions with the frameworks of modern pedagogy. It explores the inherent tensions and potential synergies between the holistic, oral-based ustoz-shogird (master-apprentice) model and the systematized, literacy-oriented structures of the contemporary university. The analysis focuses on the critical challenges of codifying oral traditions, redefining the role of the teacher, and integrating technology without diluting the essence of the music. Furthermore, the article proposes that a successful pedagogical bridge is not a one-way street of modernizing tradition, but a reciprocal process where tradition challenges and enriches modern educational paradigms. The ultimate aim is to envision a cohesive educational philosophy that produces musicians who are both authentic bearers of their heritage and innovative contributors to the 21st-century artistic world.
