The Present Situation of China's National Music

First, the status quo and reasons of national music education

There are some problems that can't be ignored in the development of music education in China, and the development status of traditional folk music is not optimistic. Just like our mother river is cut off every year, many kinds of folk music are cut off and are on the verge of extinction. Music classes in primary and secondary schools are full of pop music, while national music education is neglected. In the enrollment of professional art colleges and amateur instrumental music examinations, the number of people applying for western musical instruments and national musical instruments is amazing. What is even more distressing is that most students will not appreciate the beauty of national music, and even hold an exclusive attitude towards national music in textbooks. There are many reasons for these phenomena, and it is not difficult to find these phenomena through historical tracing:

(1) In recent twenty years, influenced by foreign culture and market economy, the proportion of national music played by various media is relatively small, and the proportion of pop music is relatively large. Coupled with the promotion of pop music in Hong Kong and Taiwan, a large number of students flock to it. There are more and more young fans and fans who let us grow up, but fewer and fewer fans of Chinese music. Young students only know the Four Heavenly Kings and Super Girls, but little about national music. They can't name several national musical instruments and China national musicians.

(2) Examination-oriented education has neglected music education for a long time, and music lessons are left unattended, unsupervised and unsupervised. As a result, music education cannot implement the syllabus, let alone complete the prescribed content. The lack of scientific research, outdated teaching concept and unchanged teaching mode in music teaching have led to students losing interest in music lessons.

Second, the specific measures to develop national music education

In the long run, without teenagers' love and development of national music, national music will lose its foundation for existence and development. Therefore, "developing national music education and improving national music literacy" is particularly important. The school is duty-bound to become the main position to promote national music culture and revitalize national music. Giving full play to the advantages of national music education, cultivating students' sentiment, enhancing national consciousness and making splendid national music stand on its own feet in the world are the main tasks of current music education. I think how to implement it should mainly start with the following points:

(A) with emotional education as the main line, cultivate students' deep feelings for national music. By learning some songs with typical national flavor, while mastering and instilling the knowledge of national music, students can understand that music cannot be separated from folk songs, which are the source of all music creation, so that students can worship national music psychologically and improve their feelings for national music. China's folk songs are vast, Inner Mongolia's folk songs are bold and unrestrained, Jiangnan's folk songs are euphemistic and beautiful, northern Shaanxi's folk songs are loud and unrestrained, Yunnan's folk songs are lively and fresh, and Xinjiang's folk songs are lively and cheerful, all of which give people a beautiful enjoyment, from which they gain rich experience and appreciate the customs and distinctive regional colors of all ethnic groups. Students will have a sincere love for folk music if they trace back to the roots of these folk songs. With such a good mood, I will have a strong interest in learning folk music and lay a solid emotional foundation for the school to further implement folk music education.

(2) Take folk music appreciation as an opportunity to enhance students' experience ability, experience the artistic conception created by folk music, broaden students' artistic horizons, improve students' artistic sensibility, appreciation and creativity, inspire students to spread their image wings based on their own feelings, make students constantly coordinate folk music with their own emotional understanding, make folk music appreciation an activity of students' emotional experience, and make students excited and moved by this activity. Teachers consciously choose to enjoy songs, so as to educate students from the superficial to the deep, from the outside to the inside. Only in this way can students absorb the nutrition of national music and accept the influence of national music culture with sincere joy.

China's folk music has a bright market prospect in the world, and the key is to have good works and market operation. In my opinion, there are two problems in the development of China folk music at present: creation and market, which need to be solved with great efforts. "China folk music works are not rich enough, which restricts its own development. Because of the musical instruments and arrangement characteristics of national orchestral music, you can't write China's folk music works with western orchestration, but many works of contemporary composers are transplanted from western orchestration, which is not suitable for national orchestral music. The market development of national music is also very obvious. Judging from our performances in Europe and America, there is actually a market for national music, but there is no mechanism to promote national music in China, and there are no specialized talents and brokerage companies to promote China national music all over the world.
