Music appreciation class is an art of "listening". What kind of music is inseparable from "listening". Listening is a musical work. We should not only make our senses happy in the process of listening, but also sublimate our spirit. The perfect combination of sensibility and rationality is the fundamental meaning of our "listening". Therefore, in order to truly enjoy music, we can't just stay on the surface and feel the music. But should go deep into the sound structure and various formal factors of music. Only in this way can we accurately grasp the "connotation" of music works and truly understand music. To do this, we must first listen to a piece of music repeatedly. Listening more is the key to cultivate the ability of music appreciation. Our ears not only play a role in the practice of understanding and transforming the world, but also have strong aesthetic ability. This ability is innate. Repeated listening will give our hearing a chance to get in touch with music, and our musical hearing will be developed. At the same time, music has a strong timeliness, and the sounds that make up music works are fleeting. These sounds are presented to our hearing in the form of single tone or multi-tone combination. Listening more, the memory in the brain will gradually synthesize the impression in hearing. The more times you listen, the deeper your impression, the deeper your impression, and the deeper your perceptual experience of music works. Therefore, the memory of music has been improved and the ability to appreciate music has been greatly improved.

Nowadays, music appreciation classes in senior high schools involve music of different countries, nationalities, styles, schools and levels. We improve in appreciation, make progress in comparison and realize in music. Its appreciation value and cultural value can not be ignored. It is an important aspect to improve and perfect our music appreciation ability to absorb nutrients from all the achievements of human music culture and constantly broaden our auditory experience field.

Music appreciation is a musical aesthetic practice in which students integrate psychological activities such as auditory perception, emotional experience, imagination and association, and creative thinking. Students' aesthetic ability is cultivated and edified in this unique artistic activity.

At present, the requirement of the new curriculum reform is to let students practice and gain true knowledge. Therefore, our teachers should let students practice more and give full play to their imagination and creativity. Be able to appreciate and evaluate works by yourself. Teachers only play a guiding role in it. I remember that a few years ago, the low-level music popular in the society, the pop music with strong low taste, even the vulgar music or some "crazy songs" and other music with low style and poor artistry made the growing students mistakenly think that this was the "era of music art", while those beautiful and artistic lyric songs were always dull to students. Then, the key to cultivate students' music appreciation ability is to let students draw a clear line between truth, goodness, beauty and falsehood, ugliness and ugliness, and master the standard of distinguishing right from wrong. If students want to evaluate and judge the social value and artistic value of a musical work, they must be able to distinguish what is beautiful and what is ugly from the theme, content, genre and style of the musical work. Because this is the basis for measuring the social value and artistic value of music works. Therefore, the only way to learn this is to take the study of theme, content, genre, style, artistic conception and form of music works as the key link to improve students' aesthetic ability through music appreciation class, so that students can master relevant knowledge and skills and deeply understand the beauty of content, form, emotion and expression of music works, thus improving students' musical appreciation ability and evaluation ability.
