Additionally, encourage students to appreciate music through various channels and communicate with each other through music to create music together.
Understand music context: Through music activities and training, students can understand the function of music and develop effective communication skills, as well as recognize Chinese and Western cultures.
First-grade customized music curriculum: Teachers will develop teaching materials that combine listening, playing, and creative music activities, which will be integrated with the themes of the "curriculum integration" course to provide a comprehensive and systematic music education.
