高校音乐教育的宗旨与途径

高校音乐教育是塑造大学生健全人格的重要资源，是对大学生德育、智育、体育等教育的审美提升与功能整合，其宗旨只能是以人为本及人的全面发展。我国古代的音乐教育思想值得借鉴，孔子的“兴于诗，立于礼，成于乐”教育理念及途径有益于当代且启示未来。高校开设音乐选修课，培养学生的音乐兴趣、激发其音乐情感、启发其音乐理解，不仅是课程得以成功的保证，而且是落实音乐教育宗旨的有效途径。

On The Purposes and Approaches of University Music Education

Music is indispensable to one’s spiritual life. As an important resource in constructing college students’ personality, university music education consolidates and promotes the moral, intellectual and physical education for young people. People-orientation and all-round development are the major principles of university music education. Ancient Chinese music education thoughts can provide useful inspiration. Confucius’ approach to one’s education advocates that poetry makes a man, courtesy develops a man, while music fully matures a man. Much can be learned from this idea and practice. In order to popularize music education in university, music lessons are offered to college students. Music can be used to foster the students’ musical interest, inspire their talent, waken their emotion and promote their understanding of music. Not only do all of these guarantee the success of music education, but constitute effective ways to fulfil its purposes.
