The so-called music appreciation is that the appreciator perceives and evaluates musical works through listening, thereby gaining enjoyment of musical beauty, spiritual pleasure and cognitive satisfaction.

To appreciate music, you must first understand the musical language. This is actually just like appreciating literary works requires understanding the literary language. So, how is the language of music expressed? Melody, rhythm, speed, intensity, timbre, etc. are all its performance elements. The ideological content and artistic beauty of musical works can be expressed through various elements. Only by mastering and understanding the performance elements of music can we appreciate the works better and more deeply. Therefore, to appreciate good music, we must first have music knowledge as a foundation.
Music is an art of hearing, and listening is the key to appreciating works.
