As an aesthetic activity, music appreciation requires the aesthetic subject to have the ability to capture the aesthetic information contained in the aesthetic object. Only when a person's hearing organ rises from a purely physiological organ to the level of an aesthetic organ can he truly become a person who can feel and experience the beauty of music.

Most students only focus on the entertainment function of music, focusing on relaxing the spirit and entertainment. When choosing music to listen to, they only like music that suits their own taste.

Most high school students have a weak foundation in music and low musical literacy. They don’t even know the most common common sense about music. Some of them are not even musicians. They can't tell the difference from singers. They feel that the content of the teaching materials is outdated, unfashionable, and distant from real life. In addition, they have little daily contact, so they are passive in learning music.

2.3 The influence of the baton on the college entrance examination

Although music has been included in the college entrance examination subject "Basic Ability" in our province in recent years, due to the small number of points, it is naturally relatively As with other subjects, not enough attention is paid to it. Students' lack of attention to music learning has become a driving force for students to gradually stay away from music.

Music is the art form that is best at expressing emotions and the most able to tug at the heartstrings. In everyone's life, emotions are the richest, most inner, and most complex abstractions.

(2) Assisted teaching with the help of multimedia intuitive images

High school music appreciation classes have a wide range of contents, involving a variety of musical works from ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad. Although high school students have a certain degree of perceptual accumulation and rational understanding of music, and their understanding and logical thinking abilities are also increasing day by day, their understanding of music is still relatively superficial due to the constraints of experience and knowledge. The use of multimedia can greatly broaden students' musical horizons. Through vivid pictures, concise and concise explanations, and pleasant music, the learning content can be transformed into images, and the pictures, texts, audios, videos, and animations can be lifelike, as if they are immersed in the scene. Stimulate students' interest in music learning, enrich teaching content, broaden teaching horizons, and stimulate students' thinking.

When students develop a strong interest in music, they will generate lasting motivation for music learning.

The "comparative" learning method is more characterized by rational thinking. Comparison reflects people's positive thinking in the process of understanding things. Without comparison, there will be no identification, and without comparison, it is impossible to reveal the essence of things. People's aesthetic ability and artistic accomplishment are constantly improved through comparison and identification.
