<![CDATA[With the complete implementation of the Competence Based Curriculum (CBC) in 2021, Rwandan Teacher Training Colleges (TTCs) play a crucial role in preparing future educators equipped with the skills, knowledge, and values essential for an advancing educational system. This research examines the impactful role of music education in improving English skills among Rwandan TTCs. Acknowledging the worldwide importance of English as a tool for instruction and communication, this research explores how incorporating music into the curriculum can enhance language learning in an enjoyable way. Utilizing modern theories of language acquisition, the study adopts a mixed-methods approach, integrating interviews with educators and quantitative evaluations of English proficiency prior to and following the introduction of music-centered teaching methods. Data was analyzed inductively through the aggregation of shared themes until reaching a saturation point. Initial findings indicate that music serves not only as a motivational backdrop for education but also helps with the acquisition of phonetics, retention of vocabulary, and pronunciation of words. The cooperative essence of music creates a nurturing learning atmosphere, boosts student confidence and engagement. This research intends to offer practical insights for educators and policymakers looking for creative solutions in language education, emphasizing music as a potentially transformative factor in enhancing English skills among prospective Rwandan teachers. The findings of this study could reach beyond language teaching, indicating a wider relevance for music in educational environments across various subjects and cultural contexts.]]>
