Guided by the curriculum development theory of OBE (Outcome-Based Education), using the educational concept of Constructivism and Feynman skills, with the mode of Understanding by Design (UbD)). According to the principles of UbD unit course design, each unit follows the expected outcome-assessment evidence-course designed as sequence. Feynman techniques will be the core of the course, promoting learning through teaching and using output instead of input. At the same time, the Constructivist teaching mode (situational teaching, scaffold teaching, cooperative learning) is used to arrange teaching activities to improve students' ability to interpret music. In this process, students will independently construct their own knowledge system, and constantly strengthen their understanding and expression skills of music. While realizing the migration and internalization of professional knowledge, they will exercise their advanced thinking, enhance their communication skills, and enhance their employment competitiveness.-
