Research on Innovation of Music Teaching Management Mode in Chinese Universities under Cultural Hegemony

With the expansion of cultural globalization in modern times, some Western countries, under their strong military and economic strength, have implemented cultural hegemony employing cultural export and cultural penetration. For example, music education in Chinese universities has been influenced by the hegemonic culture; even more, the music education model in China has been totally Westernized which has caused a huge impact on the ideology, music culture view, and music knowledge system of music majors in universities, and directly led to the students’ misjudgment of the value of Chinese traditional music. This paper discusses and analyzes the macro policy, management mode, curriculum, and selection of teaching materials of the existing music education system in Chinese universities to point out the shortcomings of this system and the consequences of allowing the shortcomings to develop; discusses the relationship between professional music education in Chinese universities and social music culture, the role of education in the transmission of traditional music culture, and how to deal with issues such as the relationship between multiculturalism and traditional music culture. This paper will also explore how to integrate traditional music culture into existing music education from the theoretical level, explain the theoretical and practical foundation for constructing a new teaching management model, propose curriculum standards, course nature, ideas, and thoughts for building a traditional music education system in universities, and make practical suggestions for teaching and inheriting traditional music culture based on practice and theory.

Design and research of music teaching system based on virtual reality system in the context of education informatization.

Virtual Reality (VR) technology uses computers to simulate the real world comprehensively. VR has been widely used in college teaching and has a huge application prospect. To better apply computer-aided instruction technology in music teaching, a music teaching system based on VR technology is proposed. First, a virtual piano is developed using the HTC Vive kit and the Leap Motion sensor fixed on the helmet as the hardware platform, and using Unity3D, related SteamVR plug-ins, and Leap Motion plug-ins as software platforms. Then, a gesture recognition algorithm is proposed and implemented. Specifically, the Dual Channel Convolutional Neural Network (DCCNN) is adopted to collect the user's gesture command data. The dual-size convolution kernel is applied to extract the feature information in the image and the gesture command in the video, and then the DCCNN recognizes it. After the spatial and temporal information is extracted, Red-Green-Blue (RGB) color pattern images and optical flow images are input into the DCCNN. The prediction results are merged to obtain the final recognition result. The experimental results reveal that the recognition accuracy of DCCNN for the Curwen gesture is as high as 96%, and the recognition accuracy varies with different convolution kernels. By comparison, it is found that the recognition effect of DCCNN is affected by the size of the convolution kernel. Combining convolution kernels of size 5×5 and 7×7 can improve the recognition accuracy to 98%. The research results of this study can be used for music teaching piano and other VR products, with extensive popularization and application value.

Abstract. This article examines the main competencies of a modern music teacher. The purpose of the article is to characterize the essence, structure and features of the formation of ethno-artistic competence of a music teacher. The used research methods are: analysis and generalization, modelling, synthesis. Results. It has been established that the actions of the music teacher should be primarily aimed at the formation of key competencies, since the training can be successful in which the following chain is clearly traced: from a competent teacher to a competent student. Therefore, the importance of developing new approaches to the formation of musical art teachers' rich professional, personal and creative potential, which allows realizing the educational possibilities of ethno-artistic imitation, becomes obvious. In this regard, the issues related to the interpretation of the concept of "ethno-artistic culture", the means and methods of its formation in the system of professional musical education are considered. Moreover, the author believes that it is also important that ethno-musical education should provide opportunities for ethnic, ethno-cultural, ethno-musical identification in the course of involvement in ethnic musical values for the formation of ethno-cultural identity. Conclusions. The author of the article concludes that the process of forming the future specialists’ ethno-artistic competence is effective under the following conditions: ethno-musical education should become a means of consolidating peoples, a factor in the activation of intercultural interaction in the conditions of multicultural education; it should be closely related to polymusical education (where integrative processes are strengthened, ensured by the openness of other cultures, a polymusical competence is forming, and the polymusical education role is intensifying). It has been established that the formation of a specialist who has ethno-artistic competence is more effective in the process of his/her purposeful multicultural education, which is carried out with the help of introducing a multicultural component into professional and pedagogical training, which at the same time promotes the development of intercultural dialogue under the conditions of a multi-ethnic world.

Research on Orff Music Teaching Model based on the Cultivation of Students' Aesthetic Ability

The core idea of Orff's music education system is localization, original nature and practicality. It is a kind of music that people must participate in, that is, people participate in it not as listeners, but as performers. Its purpose is to stimulate the vitality of every participant. Music education, fundamentally speaking, is the education of artistic aesthetics, not a pure skill training. Aesthetics is a kind of perceptual knowledge and a universal emotional need of human beings. People understand and observe the object world through images in aesthetic activities. In order to cultivate students' aesthetic ability and grasp the main line of aesthetic experience, aesthetic experience must be regarded as the most important value of music education. By studying Orff's music teaching mode based on the cultivation of students' aesthetic ability, this paper explores how to apply effective strategies such as rhythm reading in singing course, trying basic movements in rhythm teaching and using Orff instruments in appreciation class, so that students can integrate into and enjoy music class through various means and effective forms. Excavate students' inner needs and interests, and form musical aesthetic ability.

Challenges in teachers’ professional identity development under the National Teacher Training Programme: an exploratory study of seven major cities in Mainland China

ABSTRACT Professional identity development (PID) of school music teachers is critical to teacher community sustainability, the quality of school music practices, and the long-term well-being of the music education system. While in-service music teacher training strengthens the occupational aspects of teachers’ identity, the iterative PID process is both content-dependent and context-dependent. Using a framework based on the Surveys of Enacted Curriculum (SEC), this study explored school music teachers’ PID profiles in Mainland China after a 10-year implementation of the National Teacher Training Program (NTTP). Prominent characteristics of teachers’ PID were analysed regarding self-efficacy, belief, professional commitment, and task orientation, relating to self-report and observed classroom instructional practices. Statistical analysis showed high coverage of curriculum content in teachers’ daily instructional practices, while minor differences are evident among groups by region, grade band, and years of teaching. The impact of NTTP on PID and implications for in-service music teacher training are discussed.

The use of digital technologies in teaching the saxophone in a Chinese conservatory: learning based on the experience of saxophonists Du Yinjiao and Liu Yuan

ABSTRACT The contemporary system of musical education is being transformed and adapted to technical capabilities. This research aimed to study the features of using digital technologies in teaching the saxophone in a Chinese conservatory based on the experience of saxophonists Du Yinjiao and Liu Yuan. To implement the educational process, the authors developed teaching approaches that included existing methods but were based on new digital technologies that were not previously used within the same educational process. The learning was based on setting up a saxophonist’s performing apparatus using Bluestacks, developing technical playing skills using Muzquturie, working on an artistic repertoire based on Avid Cloud Collaboration, and developing improvisational skills based on Pibox Music. The findings showed a higher score for the technical skills (2.1); however, 28% of students believed that the artistic repertoire was of higher quality. The performance of Liu Yuan’s composition “Shots in the Night” on the saxophone showed that the performance quality and accuracy (0.23) were higher than the improvisational melody transformation (0.11). The practical significance of this paper is based on the possibility of improving the traditional educational process while learning the saxophone. The research prospects are based on the improvement of the educational process due to a new program for playing the saxophone based on the applications presented in the study.

How does the music that students listen to affect their level of musical literacy? Comparative analysis of Chinese students’ musical literacy formed with modern online technologies in the context of music and non-music academic majors

ABSTRACT The aim of this paper is to determine both the influence of musical compositions’ genres on the students’ musical literacy formed using artificial intelligence technologies and the musical literacy skills among music and non-music major students. Accordingly, the method of analysis was used to identify the most common musical genres in the Chinese music education system. The genres prevailed in the following order: folk music, Western classical music, Chinese opera music, Qi genre, vocal chamber music, and pop music. Identifying genres of music was necessary to examine the impact of each on the development literacy skills in music. The development of music teaching approaches was based on the use of online technology. The technology contributed to the improvement of melodic skills with SwiftScales; articulation skills with Learn Singing; and expressive performance with Singscope. The research findings suggested that students of music majors were more likely to recognize the genres of musical composition (24%) after training, whereas students pursuing non-music majors developed linguistic abilities (27%). The study also revealed that minimal musical knowledge among music students contributes to the improvement of literacy skills in music ( k = 0.82). Non-music students primarily develop memory ( k = 0.84), with improved musical literacy skills as a result of knowledge accumulation.
