Research on the Pathways for Innovative Cultural Development of University Music Courses Based on Music Education Concepts

In order to improve the music education in colleges and universities for cultivating students' comprehensive quality and enriching students' cultural literacy. In this paper, firstly, we optimize the music teaching mode, based on the theory of multiple intelligences and centered on the characteristics of students' intelligence structure, we innovate the teaching mode of music courses in colleges and universities, and emphasize the authenticity and context of the teaching environment. Secondly, the ant colony algorithm is used to find the optimal solution of music course classroom-time. In the solution process, hard constraints and soft constraints are considered to set up a class schedule that teachers and students are satisfied at the same time. Next, the optimal results of music course scheduling without and with conflicts are calculated. The traditional teaching model was set as a control class, and the final validation found that the experimental class scored the highest 90.2 ± 9.4 for music knowledge mastery and was statistically significant. In terms of music composition and music understanding, the experimental class fully agreed with 43% and 48%, higher than 41.0% and 40% of the control class, and the innovative music teaching content was above the students' psychological acceptability, with an average cultural satisfaction score of 4.2487 and an average cultural recommendation score of 4.5347. Therefore, colleges and universities should base their curriculum on the concept of music education, constantly explore and innovate, improve the rationality of curriculum arrangement, and promote the dissemination and development of music culture.

Music Education in China and the Philippines: The Exploration of Tradition and Integration

As two countries with characteristics, China and the Philippines both carry rich cultural heritage and historical background, especially in the field of music education have formed a unique tradition. In China, as an ancient civilization with a long history, its music education is deeply influenced by traditional culture. The inherited classical music, national Musical Instruments and music education concepts all highlight the extensive and profound Chinese culture. In the Philippines, as a country with diverse cultures, its music education integrates a variety of foreign cultures and local characteristics, showing a diversified, inclusive and innovative educational style. With the wave of building a community with a shared future for mankind sweeping the world, and culture as the spiritual embodiment of a community with a shared future for mankind, China and the Philippines have also begun to break regional boundaries and conduct frequent exchanges and cooperation. In the aspect of music education, this exchange and integration is not only reflected in the mutual reference of music education concepts, but also includes the sharing and innovation of teaching methods and teaching materials, as well as the exchange of visits and exchanges between teachers and students. In this process, the music education of the two countries is constantly absorbing each other's advantages and making up for their own shortcomings, so as to explore a music education model more in line with the development needs of The Times. This paper traces the origin of music education in the two countries from a historical perspective, deeply analyzes the uniqueness of their respective education systems, and compares the similarities and differences of teaching methods in detail. At the same time, this paper also focuses on the integration phenomenon of Sino-Philippine music education in the background of globalization, which is not only the exchange of technology and methods, but also the deep collision and integration at the cultural level.

Analysis of the Reasons for the Problems of Music Teaching in Chinese Universities

The reasons for the problems of music teaching in Chinese colleges and universities are manifold. Firstly, the influence of education system and policy is an important factor. The current education examination system in China pays too much attention to scores and promotion rates, leading schools and teachers to pay more attention to exam-oriented education, and music education often becomes a neglected part. At the same time, the unbalanced distribution of educational resources also makes some colleges and universities with poor music teaching conditions and insufficient teachers to provide high-quality music education. Secondly, the backwardness of the concept of music education is also one of the causes of the problem. In addition, the imperfection of teacher training and selection mechanism is also one of the causes of the problem. At present, the training system for music teachers is not sound, and there is a lack of ways to train music teachers with comprehensive qualities. Meanwhile, the irrationality of the teacher evaluation mechanism also prevents some music teachers with professional skills from getting due recognition and incentives, which leads to the shortage of teachers.

What Kant Really Said: Facts and Fiction in International Music Education Philosophy

Abstract: In international philosophy of music education, there are some philosophers who are important points of reference. One of them is the German Immanuel Kant (1724–1804). While his philosophy is complex, an oversimplified understanding of his ideas turned him into the “bad guy” of international music education philosophy, being in favor for instance of art for its own sake. His assumed ideas are thought to be the foundation of aesthetic education, in opposition to music education concepts promoting praxis and social change. The prominent role Kant plays leads to questions: Can an eighteenth-century philosopher be blamed for twentieth-century music education concepts and their supposed aberrations? And what did Kant really say? By addressing these and related questions, this paper offers fresh perspectives on Kant’s original concept and the role his assumed ideas play in international music education philosophy, aiming at revising some discourses around them. Furthermore, Kant as a case in point, can lead to general considerations about the function of philosophy in music education philosophy.

O conceito de educação musical em uma perspectiva filosófica

Abstract: Music education, as an important discipline, has always received attention from the education and music communities. Music is not just an art form, but the carrier of human expression, cognition and behavior. However, there are differences in views on the purpose and content of music education. Different cultural backgrounds in China and the West place different emphasis on music education. By comparing music education philosophies, under different concepts, one can understand the music education practices and concepts of different cultures, thereby promoting cross-cultural communication and understanding. Philosophy is a discipline that explores fundamental issues and principles, emphasizing speculative and critical thinking. In China’s history, philosophical ideas have played an important role in shaping music education. Ancient China’s philosophical ideas, such as Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism, have had a profound impact on the understanding and education of music. In order to better understand the internal connection between musical art forms and expressive behavior, and to gain a deeper understanding of the essence and significance of music, this article adopted a comparative research method from a philosophical perspective to debate the concept of music education and explore its essence and goals. By comparing different perspectives, the aim is to propose a comprehensive concept of music education to promote students’ comprehensive development. This article started from the dialectical relationship between the essence of music and philosophy, and then analyzed different music education concepts from a philosophical perspective. Finally, from a philosophical perspective, it studied the inspiration for music education reform. Music education should not only focus on skills and performance, but also on the cultivation of aesthetic and thinking abilities. Analyzing from a philosophical perspective, we can better understand the essence and significance of music, explore the value of music education, solve problems in it and promote sustainable development of music education. At the same time, it can have profound impacts in fields, such as psychology, sociology and healthcare. It effectively demonstrates the multiple values and roles of music education, providing a broader perspective for the public to understand and promote music education.

College Vocal Music Teaching Design Based on Internet Platform

Internet has penetrated into people’s lives as the Internet education platform has faced many changes in the way vocal music is taught in the new situation. The teaching methods set up on the Internet have also undergone dramatic changes. A number of advanced music education concepts have emerged that require a careful review of the current state of music education in the world and in China. Current online learning environments are usually used only for formal or informal learning. The former overemphasizes the subjective role of the teacher and ignores the autonomy of the learner. Through a new modern network education method, this paper deeply analyzes the unique advantages and existing problems of a new voice education method based on the Internet and puts forward corresponding solutions. Its purpose is to encourage more ordinary vocal music teachers to better understand the new teaching methods, broaden their artistic horizons, consciously use modern teaching methods to support vocal music education in ordinary schools, and further expand the scope of music application. The experimental results show that for 4000 concurrent users, the response time of the system is less than 5 seconds, which can meet the time requirements of the system. For the service of querying some other data, the response time of the system is less than 9 seconds, so the response ability of the system to multiple users is impressive. Therefore, with the development of education, comprehensive network education platform is also the development direction of informatization in the future.

A scoping review of international mindedness and related concepts in music education, 2000–2020

AbstractInternational mindedness (IM) is a term often used by the International Baccalaureate (IB), international schools and researchers in the field of international education. However, within the discipline of music education, this concept remains relatively unexplored. Conducted as a scoping review, using Arksey and O’Malley's (2005) framework, this study charts the research literature that explores IM and its related concepts within music education settings. A broad definition of music education was adopted, incorporating both formal and informal learning environments. Related concepts to IM, used as search terms, were taken from two IB commissioned reports (that is, Castro, Lundgren and Woodin, 2013; Singh and Qi, 2013). Only primary studies, with a publication date between 2000 and 2020, were included. In total, 218 studies satisfied the inclusion criteria, the majority of which addressed the concepts of multicultural education, intercultural competence, cultural awareness and social inclusion. No primary studies were included for the concepts of common humanity, human rights education, language rights, omniculturalism, transcultural competence and world mindedness/citizenship. Only four primary studies were found that address IM, conducted by the same two researchers, leading the author to question whether future research exploring IM in music education settings is a worthwhile endeavour. In sum, although a significant amount of literature was found through this scoping review, several concepts remain underdeveloped, or completely unexplored, within the field of music education.

Janusz Miketta – organizer and reformer of music education in Poland

Janusz Miketta (1890-1954) – Polish musicologist, pedagogue and music life organizer. He studied philosophy at the University of Warsaw. He completed his music studies at the Music Institute in Warsaw and in Leipzig, as well as at the F. Chopin Higher Music School in Warsaw. Next, he was the principal of the Music School in Warsaw and from 1919 – the director of the Music Society and the S. Moniuszko Music School in Lublin. In 1924, he started his teaching career at the F. Chopin Higher Music School in Warsaw and later at the M. Karłowicz Music School in Warsaw. In the years 1926–1931, he was a desk officer for music affairs in the Ministry of Religious Denominations and Public Enlightenment and from 1931 – the secretary of the Local Sightseeing Society in Warsaw and Stanisławów. From 1945 to 1948, he was the head of the Music Education Section of the Music Department in the Ministry of Culture and Art and the chairman of the Program Committee of Music Education in the above-mentioned Ministry. Based on Janusz Miketta’s own concept of music education, the Ministry of Culture and Art issued a directive of 7 December 1945 on a special system of music education. Music schools in Poland were divided into vocational ones (lower, middle and higher) and those providing music appreciation classes. This three-stage structure made it possible to adjust teaching program to new needs and select a specialization based on the degree of a pupil’s talent. As a result of reforms introduced in the 1949/1950 school year, schools providing music appreciation classes were liquidated, though the three-layer structure of the school system was maintained. This schooling system, with minor changes, is still in operation in Poland. In the years 1948-1954, Miketta was a professor of the State Higher Music School in Cracow.
