MUSIC EDUCATION IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS OF THE CHINA: EFFECTIVE WAYS OF PATRIOTIC EDUCATION AND PERSONAL SPIRITUAL ENRICHMENT

Abstract

The article considers some priorities of the modern system of music education in China, as well as factors that influenced its formation and development. On the basis of the study of issues related to philosophical and artistic-aesthetic load, we find sources for the successful solution of problematic issues of music-pedagogical education in China, because it was Eastern philosophy that influenced the worldview, culture and education of the country. Eastern culture, approaching world standards in the fields of science, art and education, continues to preserve its amazing originality. It has been proven that of all the countries of the East, the greatest "resistance" to direct European influence has been exerted by China for a long time - the first European-type music educational institutions appeared in the country only at the beginning of the 20th century. But, despite such a short path of formation and development, today the system of Chinese music education is one of the authorities in world music pedagogy.

On the basis of scientific studies of methodical and pedagogical literature, it was found that in the basis of the philosophy of the People's Republic of China, important importance was given to the issue of education, where extracurricular and school education of children and youth played the main role. The main goal of the educational program was to educate students' aesthetic and spiritual preferences in the process of personality formation. One of these factors was musical education, which included learning to sing and play musical instruments. Currently, almost every province of the Republic of China has its own management bodies for art education (both special and general aesthetic, within the program of secondary schools). Preservation of the national color, as well as saturation with singing and playing national instruments, is recognized as characteristic in the aspect of patriotic education. Prominent names of figures, thanks to which the cultural traditions of the People's Republic of China were clarified, were singled out. Based on the study of this issue, the processes of development of music education in China were revealed.
