Should the inheritance of folk music be academic or continue to be taught orally?

The inheritance of folk music should be a combination of academic schools and oral teaching.

Traditional folk music is mainly passed down by word of mouth, which contains a lot of skills and characteristics in traditional repertoire, singing, musical instrument performance and so on. This way of inheritance is regional and personal, but it also has some problems such as inaccurate information transmission and low inheritance efficiency, which is difficult to meet the requirements of modern society for music inheritance. ?

Compared with oral teaching, academic school has a more systematic and standardized teaching system and method in inheriting folk music, which can better protect and inherit the skills and cultural connotation of traditional music. Through academic research, we can have a deeper understanding of the singing style, repertoire and historical origin of folk music, and at the same time, we can better inherit and carry forward the traditional music culture.

Therefore, we should combine academic school with oral teaching, not only keep the traditional oral teaching methods, but also pay attention to introducing academic teaching system and methods to better protect and inherit the cultural connotation and skills of folk music. At the same time, we need to pay attention to innovation, combine traditional music with modern music elements, and create more innovative music works with the characteristics of the times, so as to better inherit and carry forward the national music culture.
