Public elective music courses in universities are an important component of aesthetic education and play a significant role in cultivating students’ aesthetic awareness.

It begins with the background of the identified problems and the significance of the study, and further analyzes existing problems and proposes corresponding improvements. The study aims to draw greater scholarly attention to the design of university public elective music courses and to contribute to improving the teaching quality of such courses in northern China.
