Research on the Innovation of Classroom Practice Paths for Integrating Traditional Culture into Music Education
This paper explores innovative practical approaches for integrating traditional culture with music education. Based on reviewing relevant literature, combined with educational practice observations and case analyses, it comprehensively summarizes the current situation of integrating traditional culture into music education in China and the problems faced. The study finds that the organic combination of traditional culture elements and music education can effectively enhance students’ cultural identity and musical literacy. However, the current teaching methods have problems such as fragmented content, monotonous form, and shallow connotation. To address these issues, this paper proposes four innovative strategies: First, build a diversified curriculum system of “traditional culture + music”, integrating traditional festivals and ethnic music in a thematic manner. Second, create an experiential teaching method through activities such as guqin performances and opera performances to increase students’ participation. Third, use information technology means to develop teaching resources and utilize digital platforms to achieve modern dissemination of traditional music. Fourth, establish a collaborative practice community between schools and outside the school, integrating social resources such as museums and heritage inheritance bases. Empirical research shows that these four innovative strategies can effectively enhance students’ understanding and identification of traditional culture, improve their musical appreciation ability, and facilitate their comprehensive development. This paper provides certain practical references and methodological inspirations for integrating traditional culture into the field of music education, and has positive significance for forming a music education system with Chinese characteristics.
