The improvement of aesthetic education in schools has a long way to go. When talking about the current aesthetic education work in China, Ye Xiaogang pointed out that "the aesthetic education work in China has always been highly valued by the CPC Central Committee, state leaders and the Ministry of Education, and is an important part of the national education policy determined by the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. However, in practical work, the task of improving aesthetic education in schools is still very arduous. First of all, school teaching units at all levels and front-line leaders need to have a deep understanding and attention to aesthetic education, and truly make unremitting efforts to aesthetic education teaching as a daily work. At the same time, we need a group of high-level scholars, experts, artists and aesthetic education workers with high academic innovation ability to take root in this work. Through collaborative innovation and joint research, they will constantly explore and summarize the laws of aesthetic education practice, constantly create and introduce aesthetic art masterpieces, and form a systematic aesthetic education theory and teaching material system in China. Obviously, there is still a long way to go from the introduction of policies to the implementation of practice, just like the Iraqis on the other side of the water, it is a long way to follow it back. "
Song Fei believes that "improving school aesthetic education is one of the focuses of current national education, and it is also a major national research topic in the field of art education and academic research in China. The continuous promotion and development of aesthetic education reform can not be separated from the construction of institutions, the formation of academic teams, the construction of system theory and the implementation of demonstration projects. China Conservatory of Music attaches great importance to this work. Last year, the Party-Group Office of the Academy unanimously approved the establishment of the National Aesthetic Education Research and Development Center, and incorporated the development of the "Aesthetic Education Center" into the key work development plan of the school in the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan". "Aesthetic Education Center" is an important part of collaborative innovation in schools. Its purpose is to coordinate and integrate high-quality aesthetic education academic resources at home and abroad, form a highland of talents, and complete major national projects. "
School aesthetic education should vigorously develop music education. Ye Xiaogang believes that "the real meaning of education is not the instillation of knowledge, but the opening of wisdom. Aesthetics is a key to human wisdom. It aims at people, connects the two worlds of sensibility and rationality, and leads people to the highest goodness. " "Aesthetic education is a kind of virtue education, because aesthetic experience should be observed sympathetically, aesthetic creation is emotional sharing, which enables people to develop the ability of love, and love is the true meaning of goodness." Drama plays an important role in aesthetic education. As Voltaire said, "The only difference between drama and moral textbooks is that the lessons of tragedy have completely turned into plots". Jiaxing Xie pointed out, "Internationally, there are four recognized core courses in art education in primary and secondary schools: music, art, dance and drama. In the work of aesthetic education in schools in China, drama is the weakest link, and there is no complete system, systematic teaching materials, classic plays and fixed teachers. " Ye Xiaogang believes that "musical is the most vivid form of drama. It combines various arts such as performance, vocal music, dance and stage visual modeling, and is deeply loved by students. It is one of the best choices to comprehensively improve students' aesthetic, moral and humanistic qualities in school aesthetic education. "
When talking about the development of school music education, Wang Zujie pointed out, "Music education in China once had a good foundation. In the 1920s and 1930s, Li Jinhui created The Little Painter, Sparrows and Children, Angel of the Vineyard and Save the Mother Lamb in the form of children's musicals, which left indelible marks on the hearts of children at that time. However, since the implementation of reform and opening up in China in the last century, although the musical market has been particularly prosperous, it is difficult to see educational and popular musicals belonging to children of our time in schools. " "The current subject education has trained all kinds of professionals. The development of music education requires cooperation with different types of talents, including writers, composers, performers, choreographers, directors, dancers and scholars and experts in aesthetic education. " "The compilation of basic music education reflects this synergy, and the development of this project should be said to be a good start."
This academic seminar was hosted by Dr. Ding Xudong, Secretary General of the National Aesthetic Education Research and Development Center of China Conservatory of Music. Experts from China Conservatory of Music, Peking University, Central Academy of Drama, Beijing Dance Academy, Nanjing Art Academy, Beijing Film Academy and China Theatre Academy gave speeches and discussions on the research design and writing scheme.
Fundamentals of Music Education is an important part of the "Music Education Training Plan for Primary and Secondary Schools" of the National Aesthetic Education Center of China Conservatory of Music. The first phase of this project is sponsored by "Zhujiang Piano Group" for one year. During the meeting, the official launching ceremony of the project was held.
The project "Music Education Drama Training Plan for Primary and Secondary Schools" is more conducive to cultivating children's interest.
