This paper explores the transformative nature of project-based learning (PBL) as a constructive teaching methodology, emphasizing its application in compulsory education. Under teacher guidance, students embark on independent projects, spanning information collection, design, implementation, and final evaluation. This process cultivates a comprehensive understanding of project dynamics and requirements at each stage. PBL is characterized by its interdisciplinary integration, creating a situational and cooperative teaching atmosphere. In the context of compulsory education, a case study delves into the implementation of PBL within the music curriculum. This focused approach aims to enable students to appreciate the beauty of music through active engagement in projects. The emphasis is on building vibrant musical scenes through collaborative learning, providing a platform for students to unleash their potential within a team setting. The case study highlights how PBL not only reshapes traditional curriculum structures but also nurtures practical abilities in students. This paper underscores the contributions of PBL in reconstructing the educational landscape, introducing innovative teaching methods, and fostering real-world application of knowledge. Despite being in its infancy in China, the study asserts that PBL is rapidly becoming the trend of standard teaching approach in compulsory education. In conclusion, this research advocates for the integration of PBL to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical skills, showcasing its potential to redefine the educational paradigm in the compulsory education stage.
