In view of this, the focus of this paper has focused mainly on the nature and functions of School Music Education. From the view of history, the development of school music education in our country is constantly moving forward in the thought of music education. Whether it is before the 1950s, after the nation founding or at the period of reform and opening up, the early idea of the school music education as a historical consciousness has impact on school music education of our country. From the view of thought resources , there has been a history of more than a century since the introduction of the aesthetic concept to our country, Until today, China's new round reform of school music education's core concept is still the "aesthetic at the core". So we can see that the early 20th century's school music education has a direct correlation with today's music education in our country. What are the similarities between today's music "aesthetic educations" with the "aesthetic" since the beginning of the 20th century? What kind of inheritance and development they have? I think that the study of the concept of school music education in the early 20th century in our country has a positive significance for our understanding of the development of China's music education. At the same time, they are also some thought resources that can not be forgotten and avoided for today's music education and the future development.
