The Role of the Church School in shaping the Music Education System in China
Abstract
The article is devoted to the musical education activities of Western Christian church schools in the modern history of China (1840–1949). In recent decades, there has been a significant increase in research interest in the Chinese music education system, but little attention has been paid to the influence of church schools on its formation. However, today, in the system of musical education in China, Western classical music is experiencing a colossal flourishing and occupies a dominant position. For the Chinese, the first introduction to Western music culture and education was in church schools. The purpose of the article is to identify the role of the church school in the development of the Chinese music education system. In this article, using the historical method of research, the features of church schools and the content of their music education system are analyzed. The establishment of a large number of church schools has had an invaluable impact on the development of the modern Chinese educational system. Drawing attention to the role of church schools in the creation of the Chinese music education system can help to understand the original trends in the development of Chinese music education, fill one of the gaps in domestic ideas about the history of world music education.
