Secondly, in music education, dance can be used to promote auditory appreciation, such as letting students learn music while making beats. The purpose is to mobilize students' enthusiasm and let students learn music in a dynamic way. Maybe the students' dance movements are not standard, but students can gain a deeper experience through their own body movements, thereby gaining knowledge and confidence. Thirdly, when learning songs, simply listening to songs will make students feel boring. Drama performances can be used to let students play the roles in the song content, and students' curiosity and expressive mentality can be used for dynamic learning.
