The New Media Environment Presents Challenges and Opportunities for Music Education in Higher Education

Abstract

Educational reform is essential. The revolution of multimedia technology and network technology is having a profound impact on the traditional teaching system, teaching methods, and training content. The learner-centered online learning model is rapidly developing. Research shows that, based on new media concepts and technology applications, music teaching platforms can be created and researched through limited forms of music teaching in colleges and universities and new media platforms. The survey results of the practice and role of new media in the process of assisting music teaching in colleges and universities show that most students have a positive attitude towards the new media teaching assistant method in public music courses in colleges and universities and are very interested in this method. Students’ aesthetic, analytical, expressive, and collaborative abilities are also enhanced at all levels. The average score of the test class was 8.8 points higher than that of the control class, and the average score was 10.78% higher. The results show that the application of new media in college music teaching is effective.
