青少年音乐教育的误区和偏向

当前国内的音乐教育,或走向追求知识与技能的实用性操作化训练,或沦为赶潮流开发智能的功利性工具,忽视了通过音乐体验激发青少年的情趣想象、活化他们的认知资源、强化其意志品格和锐化其好奇童心与诗意直觉等奠基性核心素质的关键作用。音乐教育应当注重强化对青少年音乐体验的深广引导,以激发他们的情景想象-角色移位-概象建构-时空超越-意象创新为根本目标;彻底纠正音乐教育的误区和偏向,真正使音乐教育回归人性化、感性化和诗意化的本来坐标。

The Pitfalls of Children''''s Music Education

Music education is closely related to aesthetic education, quality education, and character and emotional education. It plays a long-enduring, dynamic and directional role in the development of youngsters' perceptual understanding, intellectual construction and rational maturation. By reflecting on Chinese music education, we can discover that it takes a utilitarian position to focus on the practical operationality of musical knowledge and skills, and fails to perform the essential function of aspiring children's creative imagination, applying their cognitive resources, and strengthening their willpower and interests. Therefore, further measures should be taken to improve music education in China. This paper concludes that Chinese music education must promote youngsters' musical experience and stimulate their creativity through imagination, role transfer, conceptual construction, time-space compression and image creation, sticking to its humanistic, perceptual and poetic essence.
