Abstract:

With the expansion of cultural globalization in modern times, some Western countries, under their strong military and economic strength, have implemented cultural hegemony employing cultural export and cultural penetration. For example, music education in Chinese universities has been influenced by the hegemonic culture; even more, the music education model in China has been totally Westernized which has caused a huge impact on the ideology, music culture view, and music knowledge system of music majors in universities, and directly led to the students’ misjudgment of the value of Chinese traditional music. This paper discusses and analyzes the macro policy, management mode, curriculum, and selection of teaching materials of the existing music education system in Chinese universities to point out the shortcomings of this system and the consequences of allowing the shortcomings to develop; discusses the relationship between professional music education in Chinese universities and social music culture, the role of education in the transmission of traditional music culture, and how to deal with issues such as the relationship between multiculturalism and traditional music culture. This paper will also explore how to integrate traditional music culture into existing music education from the theoretical level, explain the theoretical and practical foundation for constructing a new teaching management model, propose curriculum standards, course nature, ideas, and thoughts for building a traditional music education system in universities, and make practical suggestions for teaching and inheriting traditional music culture based on practice and theory.
