Public Course Of The Engineering Colleges Music Teaching And Research

In the era of globalization and information, quality education in music needs to be improved in the college.Establishing College Music as an elective course has become an important factor in conducting quality education in the university and is playing a major role in improving the quality of college students. But on the other hand, due to some historical reasons and the limitation of cognitive ability music education in our country is still at primary stage. Currently College Music has not drawn enough concern in the colleges of science and engineering and the students have only a superficial understanding of the music. Solely sticking to western music system, many youths are ignorant of other music styles of their own country and know little about eastern music and that of the neighboring countries. The situation has become a barrier to fostering high quality personnel with the sense of globalization to face up to the world and the future. Through analyzing the current situation and the latest trend in music education, and a survey report of the college students' knowledge in music, this dissertation proposes the future of College Music education in the colleges of science and engineering and the aims of this course.Music education in colleges should have the quality of popularity, humanism and democracy. Instead of showing students music pieces, teachers are supposed to enable the students to appreciate the culture implied by the music, in other words, music should be taught as a kind of culture. Therefore also included in the curriculum should be the Chinese traditional music culture and world music based on multi-culture. Creating a musical atmosphere to arouse the students' interest in music will result in improving their comprehensive cultivation and attaining our goal of fostering the high quality personnel for the 21^st century.
