Students' selection of courses and the implementation of different modules Schools and teachers should strengthen the guidance on students' selection of courses. Before students choose their courses, the content, nature and opening plan of different modules of the music course (including class schedule, class location, teaching materials and teachers, etc.) should be introduced to students in detail in a timely manner. When students are selecting courses, music teachers should work with class teachers*** to give specific guidance to students in selecting courses, so as to avoid students' blindness in selecting courses. Schools have the ability to offer modules, should be open to all students, so that students in accordance with their own wishes and through the guidance of teachers, choose to meet the interests of individual hobbies and development needs of the learning content. Judging from the current situation of teachers' qualifications and teaching equipment, not all districts and schools have the conditions to offer six modules at the same time. Districts and schools can implement different modules in stages according to the actual situation. The general principle is that priority should be given to the introduction of the basic module "Music Appreciation", which is beneficial to all students, so as to ensure that students can acquire the musical and cultural literacy they need to participate in the life of modern society. On this basis, curriculum resources will be vigorously developed, and other modules will be offered gradually, so as to actively provide more choices for students to learn music in senior secondary schools.
