Atlas refers to the music score or score used in music course teaching, which is a written expression of music melody and rhythm presented by different symbol lines. In other words, atlas is the written expression language of music.

Music atlas is an important picture form used in music teaching, that is, using pictures, an easy-to-understand form, to promote students' understanding and feelings of music, because music teaching is relatively simple, but the teaching of melodies and music tunes is still difficult, and music atlas is needed.

Music atlas has been applied to music education in primary and secondary schools in modern times. There are two main forms of music atlas, one is image atlas, and the other is comprehensive atlas. The difference between the two atlases is that the image atlas is mainly composed of lines, shapes and color blocks, which is more intuitive and easier to understand and remember.

Comprehensive atlas is different from image atlas. The symbols of atlas are abstract and may be a little difficult to understand, but compared with image atlas, it is easier to be closely combined with music content and has a stronger learning effect.

The important role of music atlas

First of all, music atlas can cultivate students' perception ability. This is mainly because when learning music courses, music atlas can express different tunes and sounds with different graphics and images, and students can understand the specific sound changes through images, which is of great significance for students to understand the role of music and cultivate good perceptual ability.

Secondly, music atlas can cultivate students' aesthetic ability. Music atlas can help students do this. Music atlas can show the artistic conception of a work in the form of pictures, and can be used to induce happiness, sadness or loneliness, so that students can better understand and promote their thinking, thus stimulating their aesthetic potential and ability.

Finally, music albums can also develop students' imagination. Although music atlas can turn the intangible content in music into tangible content, the specific content needs students to connect the atlas with the teaching content themselves, which requires students to have strong association and imagination. Therefore, students' imagination can be greatly improved and developed through the long-term use and study of atlas.
