The Absence of Traditional Music: The Issue of Westernization in Primary School Music Education in China

Abstract

Promoting Chinese culture has always been one of the indispensable goals in Chinese education. However, as multiculturalism becomes more integrated, the issue of Westernization in music education in Chinese primary schools becomes increasingly apparent. This article will take primary school music education as an entry point to deeply analyze the reasons for the lack of native culture. Through analysis, it is concluded that the reasons for the lack of national music culture can be summarized into four aspects of deficiencies: respectively the lack of teaching tools; the lack of teaching content; the lack of teaching system and the lack of teaching environment. In response to the above four problems, this article puts forward corresponding solutions and suggestions. This article is only based on the research at the primary education stage. Currently, junior high school, high school and other stages also have the same problems and are worthy of research and exploration.
