DESIGN OF MUSIC CURRICULUM AND TEACHING THEORY BASED ON COGNITIVE PSYCHOLOGY
Abstract
Music education can enhance the aesthetic ability and creativity of students, making them all-round talents. This paper firstly reviews the cognitive psychology theories related to music education. Next, the author conducted a questionnaire survey on the current situation of classroom teaching of music from the perspective of cognitive learning theory. The survey results show that the existing mode of music classroom teaching fails to enhance the cognitive abilities of students, and more students prefer music skills to theories. To solve the problem, several countermeasures were presented for music teaching based on cognitive psychology: adjust the focus of college music education, enrich the teaching modes of public music courses, improve the management of music education, and create a campus atmosphere that encourages students to engage in music practices. This research provides a new perspective for classroom teaching of music and promotes the reform of music teaching.
