Reflecting on the present situation of music education in China, we still follow the old mode of singing and teaching music theory knowledge for a long time, ignoring students' emotional stimulation and experience of music and ignoring students' subjectivity, initiative, individuality and creativity in music learning. A careful study of Orff's thought and system of music education will give us many useful inspirations.

The concept of Orff's teaching method;

Starting from the origin and essence of music, that is, "appeal to sensibility and return to humanism"-this is the basic idea of Orff's music education. This is fundamentally different from the original understanding of the essence and purpose of music education.

Orff believes that expressing thoughts and emotions is an instinctive desire of human beings, which is naturally expressed through language, singing (including instrumental performances) and dancing, which has been the case since ancient times. This is the innate ability of people. The primary task of music education is to constantly stimulate and enhance the expressive force of this instinct, but good performance is not the ultimate goal.

However, the traditional understanding of music education is not the case. The course has always regarded singing and music theory and related musical skills and abilities as the means and objectives of aesthetic education, with the focus on how to learn well.

In fact, it is not difficult for students to sing, play the piano and dance instinctively in music learning, and they can even show a certain level. Because instinctive singing, playing ball and dancing are all in line with human nature, in this process, students are not worried about being trained or losing face, so they will get various degrees of satisfaction.
