With the development of music education, its educational function has become increasingly perfect, which can be summarized in the following four points:

1. Cultivation of sentiment

Music is the rain and dew that nourishes the soul. , is the milk that nurtures emotions, and naturally plays an irreplaceable role in cultivating people's noble emotions and aesthetic tastes that cannot be replaced by other arts. School music education should grasp the three basic characteristics of music's image, emotion, and pleasure, so that Students fully enjoy all beautiful music, and let students appreciate some excellent works. Teachers explain to students from time to time, allowing students to further understand the connotation of music. For example, when appreciating the famous song "Two Springs Reflect the Moon", students will experience different emotional changes such as pain, sadness, and longing, and appreciate the author A Bing's valuable spirit of pursuing light and optimism in the dark old society. Another example is when appreciating the folk legend "Butterfly Lovers", which is well-known to women and children in my country, students will be deeply attracted and moved by the beautiful melody and strong artistic appeal. These healthy musical works can touch the depths of students' souls, cultivate their sentiments, and improve their quality more comprehensively.

2. Education through entertainment

Any ideological and moral education without emotional foundation can only become empty preaching. Music does not rely on coercion when realizing its role in ideological education. Method, it relies on the distinctive rhythm, beautiful melody, rich harmony and wonderful timbre of music to express feelings, so it can directly touch the emotional center of students, shock their hearts, and have an impact on students' emotional world, ideological sentiments and moral concepts. The penetration and impact are huge. Therefore, school music education can supplement morality with music. For example, teaching and singing the song "One Penny" allows students to embody the virtue of picking up gold without being ignorant through the lively and childish melody that day. Teaching and singing the revolutionary songs "March of the Volunteers" and "Defend the Yellow River" can inspire students' patriotic enthusiasm, enhance students' learning and fighting habits, and arouse students' hatred of the enemy and love for the people of the motherland.

3. Enlightening Wisdom

Some people think that if you learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, you will not be afraid of traveling all over the world. Music is dispensable and learning it will be a waste of time. This view is wrong. On the contrary, music is the key to enlightening wisdom and can promote the development of intellectual education. A large number of facts show that correct music education does have a positive role in promoting the development of children's intelligence. Many highly intelligent celebrities at home and abroad, such as Confucius, Einstein, and Lenin, all love music. It can be said that music has a certain impact on their career achievements. influence. Einstein said, "Real science and real music require the same thought process. If I had not received a musical education in my early years, I would have accomplished nothing in any career." In modern times, more and more families are investing heavily in music education for the development of their children. This has become a development trend. For example, newborn babies listening to some beautiful and pleasant music during breastfeeding or sleeping can make the baby speak in advance. School music education can help students understand the objective world vividly and expand their knowledge. When music classes allow students to appreciate and sing, their attention, memory, and imagination will be developed, and their thinking will become active. Let students play musical instruments so that students can use their hands, brains, eyes, and ears simultaneously to exercise their creative abilities. The above facts show that correct music education can promote the intellectual development of students and can comprehensively improve students' quality.

4. Strengthen the body

Beautiful music can promote the healthy development of people's physical and mental health and can also cure diseases. Zhu Zhenheng, a famous doctor in ancient my country, said: "Pleasure is also medicine." Marx also said: "A good mood can relieve physical fatigue and pain better than ten pairs of good medicines." Some singers and conductors appear younger than their peers in other professions. This is because music has a relaxing and fitness effect on them. Music education in schools is combined with students’ physical movements, such as floor exercises and radio exercises. It not only develops students' music perception ability, but also exercises students' physical fitness, making them full of heavy expression. Dance performance can cultivate students' understanding ability, express abstract music through the body, and make students' minds become flexible and their bodies coordinated.

In short, school music education should interpenetrate and promote the development of morality, intelligence, body, beauty and labor. It is hoped that the majority of educators will tap into the resources of quality education in the music subject, give full play to the function of quality education in the music subject, and promote the all-round development of students.
