1. Raise awareness of the importance of music aesthetic education. In the long history of education, music art once existed in school education as an educational means for a long time. Great educators at all times and all over the world have paid attention to the educational value of music to varying degrees and conducted a lot of research. Sikhra, a Czech music educator, pointed out that the primary problem to be studied in music education is: What role does music play in the education process? How to treat music education? What is its basic idea [2]? The Yamaha music teaching method in Japan has clearly stated the national music education: "The purpose of this kind of education is not only to train special students, although some students will be inferior to others in music, it does not harm their human value." [3] 1999 China issued the Decision on Deepening Education Reform and Promoting Quality Education in an All-round Way, which clarified the connotation of quality education as "all-round development of morality, intelligence, physique and beauty", and aesthetic education was once again written into the national education policy. Music education, as an important way to implement aesthetic education, has a fundamental guarantee, and it is once again recognized as one of the main ways to improve the quality of the people. The aesthetic essence of music education shows that it not only has the common cognitive function of other disciplines, but also shows its special educational function, that is, to tap and cultivate people's own aesthetic potential with its aesthetic function of "pointing directly at people's hearts" in order to achieve the purpose of edifying people's hearts and shaping their personality. 2. Establish the idea that music aesthetic education is the core of school music education. People have realized that the functions of music aesthetic education are so extensive that some of them are beyond the scope of aesthetic education itself. Everyone should receive school education since childhood, and the practice of music aesthetic education should always adhere to the principle of aesthetic education and lose no time. Aesthetic education will permeate the whole process of school education, systematically, step by step, with a clear destination to spread aesthetic knowledge and cultivate aesthetic ability, accurately describe the most essential and core content, namely beauty, and cultivate the aesthetic artistic ability of educators at all levels to perceive, understand, experience, evaluate, identify and recreate. This will be a way of human self-education and a symbol of human civilization. It will promote the all-round development of students and is an indispensable and important educational content for cultivating successors of the motherland. Therefore, music aesthetic education will lay the foundation for people's all-round quality and ability, and music aesthetic education will therefore become the "core of school music education" in China. Third, the new connotation of contemporary music aesthetic education. Since the 1970s, a worldwide reform movement that attaches importance to quality education has flourished. So far, there have been rich theoretical and practical achievements, and the concept of aesthetic education has been affirmed and popularized to a great extent. However, the concept of contemporary music aesthetic education has many new connotations compared with the traditional concept of aesthetic education. The essence of traditional aesthetic education is emotional education. At present, the overall characteristics of scientific development, including humanities, are highly differentiated and comprehensive. The music aesthetic education we are talking about now also involves many disciplines, including at least music pedagogy, music psychology, music aesthetics, music sociology and thinking science. Therefore, the interpretation of the new connotation of music aesthetic education can not be separated from the development of related disciplines. Judging from the development of pedagogy and psychology, the theory of "Multiple Intelligences" put forward by contemporary American educator Gardner has raised musical intelligence to the same important position as linguistic and logical intelligence, thus making music education occupy an important position in education. 1995 Gorman, a famous American psychologist, expounded the concept of "emotional intelligence" and thought that emotional intelligence is a kind of ability to adjust and control emotions. He believes that emotional intelligence plays a decisive role in people's success factors, and especially emphasizes that emotional education through music is an important way to cultivate "emotional intelligence" [4]. There are also some research results of natural disciplines, which have also increased the new connotation of music aesthetic education to varying degrees. All these remind musicians that they must learn, understand and use aesthetic education means from a wide range of educational connotations in practical activities, implement comprehensive aesthetic education to the maximum extent, and strive to achieve the perfect combination of theory and practice in this kind of education. Fourth, the social significance of contemporary music aesthetic education to improve people's quality is the requirement of social development, and social development also provides certain conditions for improving people's quality. At present, mankind has entered the information age, and the new era has put forward new requirements for talent training, that is, calling for "people-oriented" education. Because only people can create knowledge, master knowledge and use knowledge, quality education that attaches importance to people's ontological role has become an inevitable requirement of the times. 1. Music aesthetic education is the primary productive force. In the era of knowledge economy, talents must have innovative ability, and music aesthetic education plays an important role in cultivating people's creativity. This also shows that the aesthetic education of music also plays the role of the primary productive force. This will highlight the status and social function of music aesthetic education. 2. Music has three basic functions: education, aesthetics and entertainment. Regardless of the subject's musical conditions, his ability to appreciate music is always higher than his ability to make and play music. Therefore, music aesthetics belongs to the public first, and for this reason, music aesthetic education has full sociality. From the perspective of aesthetic education, music is the link of various forms of aesthetic education. Music directly strengthens the aesthetic feeling of the aesthetic subject and cultivates the sentiment of the aesthetic subject with its unique beauty of sound, rhythm and melody. Paying attention to the aesthetic education of music plays an extremely important role in improving the aesthetic taste and ability of the whole nation. 3. Music aesthetic education can promote the harmonious development of human body, mind and society. Due to the fierce competition and high-speed pace of life in contemporary society, people's body and mind are under unprecedented pressure, and mental illness has become an uncontrollable disease of the times. It has become a common topic all over the world that human beings should save themselves, especially their psychological defects. Music aesthetic education plays an extensive role in overcoming people's emotional alienation and making their body and mind and even the whole society develop harmoniously, which is irreplaceable by other education. Wagner, a German composer, once said: "The organ of the soul is music, and the language of spiritual artistic consciousness is music." When people touch a musical work, they are actually feeling the composer's soul. Maybe we don't know the reasons that lead to the composer's mood, but we can directly touch his mood through his works. Music is not the expression of a person's passion in a certain state, but the expression of passion itself. Every excellent piece of music has a noble soul. Plato, an ancient Greek philosopher, said: "Rhythm and melody are the forces that can penetrate the soul most deeply. If the way of education is appropriate, they will infiltrate the soul with beauty and beautify it ... ". Music can beautify people's soul and stimulate people's enthusiasm for unremitting pursuit of good wishes; Music can cultivate people's emotions, maintain and develop people's imagination, and stimulate people's love for life and strong desire for a better future. The realization of these aesthetic functions will improve the cultural connotation and self-cultivation level of mass groups, which has a wide range of practical utility and social significance. Therefore, it is of far-reaching social significance to strengthen and develop the theoretical and practical research of music aesthetic education.
