The Significance and Strategies of Integrating Ethnic Music into Music Education

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the significance and strategies of integrating ethnic music into music education, and explore the practical dilemma of the gradual marginalization of traditional culture in contemporary music education. The study finds that integrating ethnic music into music education is conducive to strengthening cultural identity, enriching the connotation of aesthetic education, and expanding teaching resources. However, there are also prominent problems in the current process of promoting teaching development, including insufficient supply of curriculum content, an obvious gap in teachers' competence, and outdated teaching methods. Based on the problems encountered in the implementation process, this paper proposes a systematic integration path relying on the reconstruction of the curriculum system, supported by teacher training, and empowered by digital technology, so as to provide a theoretical reference for promoting the in-depth integration of ethnic music and music education.
