The situation of ethnomusicology in my country’s universities is that students lack interest and universities do not pay attention to it.

Ethnic music education in colleges and universities can help improve the overall quality of college students and cultivate students' sentiments. However, the current ethnic music education in colleges and universities has deficiencies in many aspects, which makes the effect of music teaching in colleges and universities not up to the educational level. Target.

1. College students lack interest in Chinese folk music.

Since my country’s reform and opening up, many Western elements have been introduced in many fields and significant progress has been made in economy, science and technology. However, at the same time, our people have ignored the national interests of our country. The essence of culture has instead given rise to the concept of "worshiping foreigners". Many students said that online pop music signifies fashion, foreign pop music signifies foreignness, and Chinese ethnic music signifies tackiness. Many college students ignore ethnic music, showing their ignorance of ethnic music.

2. National music is not taken seriously in college teaching.

The teaching of music courses in colleges and universities is based on Western music concepts, and Chinese ethnic music can only be used as embellishment. The main content of the teaching materials is to introduce European music culture, and foreign music occupies most of the space in the teaching materials. Chinese ethnic music There is little music content, and the arrangement of teaching materials such as songs, vocal music, and music is basically dominated by Western music

There are few Chinese ethnic music courses and a lack of teaching materials. Most of the music courses are national and ethnic. Music appreciation mostly introduces famous musicians and their works, and there are few courses on national music techniques. Even though the music teachers in colleges and universities are mainly piano, violin, and vocal teachers, with ethnic music teachers as assistants, the teaching staff in ethnic music is weak. Many schools only have one or two or even no professional ethnic music teachers, which directly affects colleges and universities. The quality of folk music teaching.

Chinese folk music does not account for a proportion in the curriculum of colleges and universities. Most of them are now "focused on the West, emphasizing the West and neglecting the Chinese". There are still many gaps in the Chinese folk music courses and learning methods.

Ethnic music:

Ethnic music refers to music forms with unique styles produced and performed in different regions, ethnic groups and cultural backgrounds. It reflects the culture and religion of various ethnic groups. , customs and historical background. There are 56 ethnic groups in our country, and each ethnic group has its own unique music culture.

Compared with common music, national music pays more attention to the combination of music, meaning and emotion. The musical elements it uses are more unique, such as the Mongolian Morin Khuur, Xinjiang Cuoqin, etc. There are many different music forms in ethnic music, such as singing, instrumental music, dance music, etc.

These musical forms inherit the characteristics and culture of their own nation. With the changes of society and culture, national music is also constantly developing, but it has always been a unique art form that embodies the essence of national culture and historical memory, and is deeply loved and respected by people.
