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.
