Preface

Vocal teaching is an important part of vocal music pedagogy. In the process of vocal teaching practice and theoretical research, it can also be an independent subject. The course of vocal music is an important compulsory course for vocal music schools (departments) in colleges and universities. Its basic tasks are:

1. To enable students to master the basic knowledge and theory of vocal music education, understand the objectives and requirements of vocal music education in colleges and universities, love vocal music education, and establish professional ethics and sense of responsibility for vocal music education.

2. To make students master the basic principles and methods of vocal music teaching in colleges and universities, understand the basic process and teaching content of vocal music teaching, and lay a solid foundation for educational practice and vocal music education in the future.
      3. Let students learn and understand the famous foreign vocal music teaching system and teaching methods, and broaden the vision of vocal music education.
    4. Let students integrate their professional knowledge and skills, and make them become a comprehensive ability, that is, the ability to engage in vocal music education in colleges and universities.
    Music pedagogy is an interdisciplinary subject of musicology and pedagogy. This subject not only follows general laws of pedagogy, but also has some characteristics of music itself. No matter how the connotation and extension of music education change, the fundamental purpose of music education is to make music education practice well developed. And a good music education must have teachers who carry out the education, students who have the purpose of learning and the media, music, which connects teachers and students, which are the three parts of music education activities. Music education will not exist with any of teachers, students and music. China’s professional music education has a certain scale, and music pedagogy is an inevitable subject when the era develops to a certain stage. It is more specific than general pedagogy, and more emphasis on discipline.
    Compared with music teaching method and music teaching theory, the problems it studies are more universal, wider in scope and higher in theoretical level. Music pedagogy plays an irreplaceable role in training talents who can adapt to the future social development and have forward-looking music education thoughts.

前 言

声乐教学是声乐学科教育学中的一个重要组成部分，在声乐教学实践和声乐教学理论研究过程中，它又可以是一个独立的学科。高校声乐课程是高等院校声乐院（系）的重要必修课。其基本任务是：
  1. 使学生掌握声乐教育的基础知识和基本理论，了解高校声乐教育的目标和要求，热爱声乐教育事业，树立起从事声乐教育的职业道德观和责任感。
  2. 使学生掌握高校声乐教学的基本原则和基本方法，了解高校声乐教学的基本过程和教学内容，为进行教育实习和今后从事声乐教育工作打下扎实的基础。
  3. 让学生学习、了解国外著名声乐教学体系和教学方法，拓宽声乐教育视野。
  4. 让学生将所学的专业知识和专业技能技巧融会贯通，使其成为一种综合能力，即从事高校声乐教育的能力。
  音乐教育学是音乐学和教育学的交叉学科。这一学科既遵循教育学的普通规律，又具有音乐艺术本身的一些特点。无论音乐教育的内涵和外延怎么改变，音乐教育的根本目的是使音乐教育实践能够得到良好的开展。而良好的音乐教育必须有实施教育的教师、有学习目的的学生和联系教师和学生之间的媒介——音乐，这是音乐教育活动的三个部分，缺一不可。教师、学生、音乐三个要素缺了其中任何一个要素，音乐教育都不能存在。我国的专业音乐教育已具有一定的规模，音乐教育学是时代发展到一定阶段时必然产生的学科。它比普通教育学更加具体化，更加注重和强调学科性。它所研究的问题比音乐教学法和音乐教学论更具有普遍性，范围更广，理论层次更高。音乐教育学对培养能够适应未来社会发展的、全面的、具有前瞻性音乐教育思想的人才发挥着不可替代的作用。
