Quality education is the basic education to improve the teaching quality in an all-round way, and it is also the main theme of students' current basic education reform, and music education is an important content that cannot be ignored in quality education in primary schools, especially in middle schools. It plays an irreplaceable role in the formation of students' ideological morality, intelligence, emotion and physical and mental health. However, in actual teaching, many schools do not attach importance to music teaching, especially the role of music teaching in quality education. Instead, they regard it as a dispensable course. This is a one-sided view, an unacceptable move, and a misunderstanding of many educators in the process of pragmatic quality education. This narrow theory, which lacks practical test, needs to be corrected in time to make it play its due role.
