For music, dance is an important means to improve the influence and expressive force of music, and it is one of the indispensable elements of music.

In the rapidly developing society, the prevalence of music is getting stronger and stronger, and people's love for music is getting higher and higher. In order to meet the needs of contemporary social development, strengthening music education is helpful to cultivate professional music talents. As an indispensable part of music, dance teaching in colleges and universities in China is influenced by many factors, which is not conducive to the cultivation of professional music talents. As a place to train talents in contemporary society in China, colleges and universities must attach great importance to music and dance teaching and do a good job in teaching reform, so as to continuously stimulate students' interest and initiative in learning, let students actively participate in teaching and improve their professional level.

First, the constraints of college music and dance teaching

1. Limitations of traditional teaching mode

As far as music and dance teaching in colleges and universities in China is concerned, teachers still adopt the traditional teaching mode in the teaching process, mechanically instilling theoretical knowledge into students, ignoring students' dominant position in the classroom. Under the influence of traditional teaching mode, students' learning enthusiasm is not high, and the classroom teaching effect is not good, which is not conducive to students mastering professional skills.

2. Students' own factors

For music and dance majors in colleges and universities, dance is expressed through actions, and students' own conditions directly affect the teaching effect of music and dance. As far as college students are concerned, most of them have not received professional dance training, their own conditions and physical coordination ability are poor, and their limbs are stiff, so it is difficult to show the artistry of dance. At the same time, because students' ligaments are not opened, they are easy to get hurt in the process of dance teaching, which makes students gradually lose interest in learning.

3. School factors

At present, colleges and universities pay insufficient attention to music and dance teaching. They only offer music courses without corresponding dance courses, which gives students good opportunities for dance training. Secondly, dance is expressed by actions, but at present, the teaching environment of music and dance in colleges and universities is very insufficient. The teaching content of music and dance mainly revolves around the teaching materials and explains the contents in the teaching materials. The school did not allocate corresponding facilities and places for music and dance teaching, which further affected the effect of music and dance teaching.

4. Teacher factor

As a guide for students, professional teachers play an irreplaceable role. However, at present, there is a shortage of professional music and dance teachers. In the teaching process, the existing teachers still stay in the traditional teaching concept, paying more attention to teaching than learning, and failing to combine music and dance majors to teach, thus affecting the improvement of students' professional ability.

Second, measures to improve the effectiveness of music and dance teaching in colleges and universities

1. the change of teaching concept

With the development of educational system reform, the traditional teaching mode has been difficult to meet the needs of modern education. In order to improve the effectiveness of music and dance teaching in colleges and universities, we must change the teaching mode, actively change the teaching concept in the teaching process, and combine music and dance courses to give full play to students' main role in the classroom, so that students can become the main body of teaching, and then continuously stimulate students' learning initiative and enthusiasm.

2. Strengthen students' exercise.

Students are not only the subject but also the object of music and dance teaching in colleges and universities. The quality of one's own conditions will directly affect the effect of music and dance teaching. Therefore, we should attach importance to students' dance training in music and dance teaching in colleges and universities. We should attach importance to students' daily training, carry out some basic training, such as physical training, teach students some basic movements, make students love that kind of daily training, gradually open their own ligaments and enhance the flexibility of their bodies. At the same time, in the teaching process, we should step by step, adhere to the principle of easy before difficult, constantly stimulate students' interest in music and dance, and master professional music and dance skills.

Step 3 increase investment

The purpose of running a university is to teach and educate people, and music and dance in colleges and universities play an important role in cultivating talents needed for the development of contemporary society. In order to better cultivate compound music talents, colleges and universities must increase investment. First of all, it is necessary to provide teaching places for music and dance teaching in colleges and universities, such as dance rooms and musical instrument rooms, so as to provide guarantee for music and dance teaching in colleges and universities; Secondly, we should increase investment and equip ourselves with advanced equipment.

4. Strengthen the construction of teachers.

Teachers play an irreplaceable role in music and dance teaching in colleges and universities, and professional teachers can better guide students' learning; On the other hand, it will affect students' learning, which is not conducive to the improvement of students' professional ability in music and dance. In order to better improve the students' level of music and dance, we must attach importance to the training of teachers majoring in music and dance teaching in colleges and universities, and cultivate a professional team of teachers. Internally, schools must strengthen the cultivation of teachers' professional ability and improve their professional level, and at the same time strengthen the cultivation of teachers' professional quality and improve their sense of responsibility and responsibility. Externally, colleges and universities must introduce professional music and dance teachers to provide guarantee for music and dance teaching. As a teacher, we should constantly improve our cultural level, keep learning, and then serve teaching. In addition, schools should take effective incentive measures to stimulate teachers' work enthusiasm.

5. Multimedia teaching

In the information age, the application of multimedia is becoming more and more common. Multimedia integrates many functions such as image, text, sound and animation. The application of multimedia technology in modern education in China can promote the development of teaching, improve the effectiveness of teaching and stimulate students' interest in learning. For music and dance teaching in colleges and universities, it is difficult for students to digest professional knowledge simply by relying on knowledge explanation. The emergence of multimedia technology makes the teaching content more intuitive and concrete. Through multimedia, students can watch professional music and dance performances. At the same time, through multimedia, teachers can differentiate dance movements, and show them to students through multimedia, so that students can have professional knowledge and skills in music and dance, thus constantly stimulating students' interest in learning, allowing students to participate in teaching and improving the effectiveness of teaching.

6. Enrich the teaching content

For a long time, teachers have been teaching around textbooks, and teachers should teach according to what the textbooks say. In such a teaching environment, it is difficult for students to improve their interest. For music and dance, the sense of musical rhythm is very important. In order to cultivate professional music talents, in the teaching process, teachers should extract music materials from all directions and angles before class and teach them to students. They should start from three aspects: dance music, dance accompaniment and dance movements. Only by constantly enriching the teaching content can they meet the students' demand for more rhythmic modern dance.

Third, the conclusion

Music and dance teaching in colleges and universities plays an irreplaceable role in cultivating music talents in contemporary society. For music, dance is an important means to improve the influence and expressive force of music, and it is one of the indispensable elements of music. In order to train more professional music talents for our modern society, colleges and universities must attach importance to music and dance teaching, actively change their concepts, start with basic teaching and gradually reduce it, so as to lay a good foundation for students' dance. At the same time, we should be good at using multimedia-assisted teaching in the teaching process, so as to better stimulate students' interest in learning, let students master professional skills and improve their professional level.
