The purpose of this literature review was to synthesize relevant research concerning the blended learning and flipped lesson models, and their potential role in performance-based music classrooms. I provide theoretical backgrounds of these models and introduce Puentedura's Substitution Augmentation Modification Redefinition model as a possible framework for implementation. Overall effectiveness and challenges of the blended learning and flipped lesson models are discussed. Finally, research and experience-based suggestions for practice are provided to help music educators implement these learning models in their classrooms.
