Why should music education pay attention to aesthetics?
Since ancient times, countless sages have realized the fundamental value of art in their social practice, and profoundly expounded that people's cultivation cannot be separated from the edification of art. Confucius once said: "Prosperity lies in poetry, standing in ceremony, and success lies in joy." In other words, people's cultivation begins with poetry, is based on ceremony, and is completed with joy. Plato, an ancient Greek philosopher, said: "It is difficult to find something better than what we have found from long-term experience, that is, to exercise our bodies with exercise and cultivate our hearts with music." Marx made it very clear: "A work of art has created a public who knows art and can appreciate beauty." This shows that music is an indispensable educational factor for a perfect person, and the value of art is to cultivate and bring up people who understand art and have aesthetic ability. As far as the whole process of music practice is concerned, whether it is from natural phenomena and social life to music score, from music score to the actual sound of music, or feeling the content and image of music under the stimulation of music sound, it is the result of music practitioners' repeated deliberation and refining of the aesthetic significance of music. Therefore, taking aesthetics as the core can be said to be a basic feature of music art, and it is also the most prominent and important concept in our music curriculum. It runs through the whole process of music teaching and is an important way to implement aesthetic education.
