Music as a practical and spiritual value
The article implements a cultural understanding of some of the paradoxes of the entry of Chinese children into the modern musical and performing culture. In connection with this, the authors consider the social and cultural factors leading to a negative trend in the musical sphere. The work notes that the process of music education is increasingly becoming utilitarian and excessively rational, and its artistic value is being pushed to the periphery of understanding music as a spiritual and practical value of the nation. At the same time, the essence of music education is transformed. These problem areas constitute the subject field of the authors’ research.
