The basic concept of contemporary children's music education is based on music aesthetics as the core, hobbies as the driving force, and emphasis on personality development.

1. Take music aesthetics as the core.

The basic concept with music aesthetics as the core should run through the entire process of music teaching, and cultivate students' beautiful sentiments and sound personality in a subtle way. The learning of basic music knowledge and basic skills should be organically infiltrated into the aesthetic experience of music art. Music teaching should be a process in which teachers and students jointly experience, discover, create, express and enjoy the beauty of music.

In teaching, we should emphasize the emotional experience of music, guide students to grasp the overall form of music expression and emotional connotation according to the aesthetic performance characteristics of music art, and understand the role of music elements in music performance.

2. Use hobbies as motivation.

Interest is the basic motivation for learning music and the prerequisite for students to maintain close contact with music, enjoy music, and use music to beautify their lives. Music classes should give full play to the unique charm of music art. At different teaching stages, according to the students' physical and mental development rules and aesthetic psychological characteristics, use rich and colorful teaching content and lively teaching forms to stimulate and cultivate students' interest in learning.

3. Pay attention to personality development.

Every student has the right to learn music in his or her own unique way, enjoy music, participate in various musical activities, and express personal emotions and intelligence. It is necessary to organically combine the universal participation of all students with teaching in accordance with their aptitude to develop different personalities, create lively, flexible and diverse teaching forms, and provide students with the possibility and space to develop their personalities.
