Discuss from the perspective of music whether it is important or not to cultivate the understanding and appreciation of beauty as follows:

1. The essence of education is aesthetic education. The main task of aesthetic education is to influence people's ability to obtain aesthetic experience. As an important way to implement aesthetic education, music education is an important field of humanities and the main way for schools to implement aesthetic education. Therefore, school music classes should focus on aesthetics in their education and teaching forms and processes.

2. It is obviously different from other subjects. As a required course in the school’s basic education system, music class runs through the entire process of music teaching. Embodying aesthetics as the core requires that through classroom music education, the educated can establish a healthy aesthetic concept and aesthetic taste, and understand the beauty of nature, social life, science and art.

3. Cultivate students’ sensitivity, appreciation, creativity and expression of beauty, and learn to appreciate beauty. Embodying aesthetics as the core means that in classroom music teaching, students should be infected and edified by the beauty of music, improve their ability to feel, experience, appreciate and evaluate the beauty of music, and cultivate their soundness in the connection and subtle influence of truth, goodness and beauty. Personality and conduct serve quality education.

4. Embodying aesthetics as the core means emphasizing the emotional significance of music in teaching. According to the aesthetic expression characteristics of music art, students are guided to feel, understand, and grasp the overall expression form and emotional connotation of music, and reveal the role of musical elements and their relationship with the art as a whole.

5. That is to say, the teaching process in classroom teaching that focuses on straightforward lectures and imparting knowledge and skills is downplayed, and replaced by democratic equality between teachers and students, and joint participation in experience activities. And regard this activity as one of the purposes of music teaching. Music is the art of hearing, and auditory experience is the basis of music learning.

6. Teachers sing with great emotion, students sing in unison, duet, lead singing, group singing, listening to choruses with different treatments of songs on the tape recorder, etc., all revolve around "listening". In appreciation classes, appreciating beautiful music can not only bring students sensory stimulation, but also enable them to gain spiritual pleasure and fun.

7. At the same time, appreciating excellent musical works can also allow students' emotions to be influenced by beauty and spiritual satisfaction through the association of appreciating music, thereby achieving the purpose of cultivating sentiment and sublimating personality. Therefore, we must adhere to the aesthetic experience of music as the core in music teaching.

8. And throughout the entire process of music teaching, this is also a process in which teachers and students jointly experience, discover, express and enjoy the beauty of music. In teaching, teachers should focus on cultivating students' interest in music, follow the perception rules of auditory art, actively participate in aesthetic experience, and better implement music curriculum standards.
