摘要:音乐是伴随着人类社会发展而来的一门艺术。而音乐教育，是以音乐为核心从而形成的一种教育实践的形式。音乐教育在我国的素质教育中，特别是在我国中小学的素质教育中处于重要的地位，它不同于素质教育中的其他教育方式，是因为它能比我们通常所表达的语言更直接地抒发情感，它通过教学及各类贴近生活情感的音乐实践，可以逐步培养起学生爱好音乐的兴趣，并提升音乐文化的素养，丰富对于情感的自我体验。以音乐教育为媒介，向中小学生渗透正确的道德理念和正确的审美取向，让他们能够更加健康的成长，并且在今后的人生道路中有一定的发展。在中小学里进行音乐教育，其目的在于对学生道德和审美的正确引导。与此同时，我们也该正视当今音乐教育在中、小学中所存在的一些客观问题和现状，并对中小学音乐教育今后的发展前景有一定的展望。
