American music education: improving students' quality in an all-round way. American students learn more than music and culture. American primary and secondary education pays more attention to all-round development, and trains students in music and art. For example, from the sixth grade, students must choose an instrument or sing as a compulsory course. American primary and secondary schools require students to learn musical instruments and sing, which is not only a rigid requirement of schools, but also gives students freedom of choice. On the one hand, through the study of musical instruments and singing, all students can learn basic knowledge of music theory; On the other hand, students can choose musical instruments or sing according to their hobbies and make adjustments in their studies. In the singing course, students should not learn to sing pop songs, but should learn classical opera, jazz and so on. The school has also set up singing groups at different levels, and recruits new members every year. In fact, judging from the setting and teaching of music courses in American middle schools, the teaching of music courses not only cultivates students' musical literacy and helps them understand traditional culture, but also plays a role in improving students' quality in an all-round way. Music education in American middle schools should achieve the following goals: first, cultivate students' perseverance through daily musical instruments and vocal music practice; The second is to cultivate students' personal competitiveness and team spirit through the practice, performance and competition of bands and singing groups; Third, symphonies, operas and other performances and competitions help to cultivate students' organizational ability, leadership ability and even entrepreneurial spirit. 2.
