First, the meaning of music literacy
The understanding of musical literacy should be interpreted separately. Su refers to music literacy, and cultivation refers to music literacy, which requires contemporary college students not only to have basic knowledge of music, but also to have certain cognitive ability of music. The cultivation of music literacy plays an important role in the cultivation of college students' comprehensive quality. Through the cultivation of music, people can feel relaxed and happy, and their nervousness can be alleviated. The introduction of different music works can improve people's cultivation taste and help to establish a correct outlook on life and values. In order to realize the great rejuvenation of the nation, it is necessary to strengthen the cultivation of music literacy of ordinary people.
Second, the important position of music literacy training
Under the background of quality education reform, contemporary social education is required to take social needs and people's actual development as the main goals, cultivate students' comprehensive quality ability and ensure students' dominant position in curriculum teaching. Quality education requires contemporary education to face the society and the future. Music education in colleges and universities is not only the cultivation of students' music literacy, but also an important way to transition from exam-oriented education to quality education. It plays an important role in cultivating contemporary college students' aesthetic ability and perfecting their personality, and can effectively promote the cultivation of contemporary college students' all-round quality.
Third, the role of music general education in colleges and universities
1. Music general education in universities can stimulate students' creative thinking. Imagination is a unique talent of human beings, guiding people's social activities, and the creation of everything in the world is the embodiment of human imagination. Einstein once said that imagination is higher than knowledge, and its role in human development is far greater than knowledge. Music education has aesthetic education function. Music general courses are offered in colleges and universities, so that students can have a basic understanding of music rhythm, melody, musical structure and expression techniques. Music creators can interact with the audience through music works, let the audience imagine the content and pictures of music works, and let students develop their creative thinking through their understanding of music works, which is helpful to cultivate their creativity.
2. Music general education can improve students' personality. There is a subtle relationship between music and people, and people can be educated through music, so music has certain educational functions. Music is the response of music creators to real life, expressing their actual understanding of life and conveying positive emotions. Through the transmission of music works to the audience, people can form a positive and healthy outlook on life, have the correct ability to distinguish things, and face the future life with a positive attitude. Contemporary college students are a special group, who like to pursue novelty, sensitivity and impetuousness. Therefore, they need to be educated by music, influenced by artistic charm, get spiritual enjoyment, improve their personality and make them a great driving force for social development.
3. Music general education can adjust the mentality. Today's society is a fast-paced society. The rapid development of all walks of life has formed fierce social competition, and people's pressure has gradually increased. As a special group, college students have weak adaptability to society, and social competition can easily exert great mental pressure on them, thus affecting their psychological development. Different students have different psychological maturity and stress resistance due to different growth environment and education level. Music general education can use music to promote the coordinated development of human brain hemisphere, stimulate students' creative thinking and have a positive impact on people's psychological development. Research shows that people who have received good music education have better psychological quality than those who have not received music education. Therefore, in order to make contemporary college students develop healthily, it is necessary to offer music general courses, edify them with music, improve their musical literacy, form a healthy psychology and help them grow up healthily.
Fourth, the current problems in music general education in colleges and universities
1, the teaching course is single. Although most colleges and universities have set up music general courses one after another, they are rather casual in curriculum setting, without paying attention to the scientific nature of curriculum setting. In the course setting, the course setting, which focuses on the appreciation of western symphony music, is single, lacking attention to China's national characteristics and world-class music, and focusing only on a single music form, which is not conducive to cultivating students' interest in music learning.
2. Unreasonable allocation of human resources. At present, most of the employees engaged in music general education in colleges and universities have graduated from professional music colleges or come from excellent music performance groups. They have a solid foundation in music major, but their educational knowledge is particularly lacking. Because I haven't received systematic study of modern educational theory, I lack certain practical ability in actual teaching and can't achieve the teaching effect. Most music teachers graduated from professional music colleges, and their comprehensive cultural quality is not high, so they can't impart knowledge simply and directly, which is not conducive to students' learning and understanding of music knowledge.
3. Lack of extracurricular practice. Classroom is the study of theoretical knowledge, which can only be sublimated and developed in practice. Contemporary music education focuses on classroom knowledge education, rather than extracurricular practice education. The teaching system is not perfect, and students do not give full play to their special skills, which has dampened their enthusiasm for learning music.
Fifth, how to improve college students' musical literacy through music general education.
1. Introduce new teaching methods. The traditional music teaching mode is outdated, which has dampened students' enthusiasm for learning music. In the new development period, introducing new teaching methods for classroom teaching, using multimedia software to assist teaching, changing the original static teaching mode into dynamic, and vividly displaying the teaching content through the coordination of pictures and sounds will help deepen students' understanding of knowledge and improve their enthusiasm for learning, thus cultivating students' interest in learning music, providing motivation for later music learning, and improving students' musical literacy and promotion.
2. Vigorously promote elegant music. Through the promotion of elegant music, contemporary college students can be influenced by elegant art and improve their aesthetic quality. With the development of social economy, people's demand for material and spiritual aspects is constantly improving, and the original backward music can no longer meet people's demand for music. Therefore, we should vigorously promote elegant music, cultivate students' noble pursuit of life, and adapt to the needs of socialist spiritual civilization construction.
3. Give full play to the positive role of college music teachers. In the current music education in colleges and universities, some teachers lack a sense of responsibility, do not pay attention to the quality of classroom teaching, and appreciate music works as the main content of classroom teaching. The unchangeable teaching mode has seriously hit students' enthusiasm for learning, and students have not paid enough attention to music general courses, which has hindered the cultivation of students' music literacy. This requires teachers to reform the teaching mode, constantly improve their professional ability, improve their artistic accomplishment, learn to discover beauty, and pass this beauty on to students, guide their development, gradually enhance their enthusiasm for music general education, stimulate their creative thinking, and enhance their artistic accomplishment, which is conducive to the development of their comprehensive quality.
conclusion
The development of music general education in colleges and universities plays an important role in improving students' artistic accomplishment and cultivating their comprehensive quality. Therefore, we should pay more attention to music general education in colleges and universities, constantly reform the teaching mode, improve the teaching quality, and let contemporary college students form a complete and sound personality under the influence of excellent artistic atmosphere, which will help promote the personality development of college students, train a group of outstanding university talents and provide high-quality talents for China's economic development.
