THE DEVELOPMENT OF A MUSICAL AESTHETIC TEACHING MODEL FOR NON-ARTS UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS IN WUHAN, HUBEI, CHINA

Abstract

This research focuses on the study and development of a musical aesthetic education system for non-arts undergraduate students at Wuhan Business University. The objective is to address the challenges in existing pedagogy, such as outdated teaching methods, fragmented curricula, and low student engagement, by introducing the ADDIEI model. This enhanced version of the ADDIE framework incorporates an additional "Improve" phase to facilitate continuous feedback and refinement. The curriculum includes five modules: music theory, body rhythm, instrumental appreciation, choral rehearsal, and immersive experiences, following a four-phase teaching process: Perception, Understanding, Creation, and Expression. Utilizing mixed methods such as surveys, interviews, and teaching experiments, the study demonstrates the model’s effectiveness in enhancing student motivation, musical literacy, and aesthetic sensitivity. The findings provide valuable insights for reforming aesthetic education in Chinese higher education and suggest pathways for future interdisciplinary and digital integration.
