Abstract:The exchange and dissemination of music education between China and Germany constitute a crucial component of the international communications in China’s modern educational landscape. In this context, Germany primarily sent missionaries and musicians to China to facilitate music exchange, while China engaged in this exchange by sending students to Germany to study music education of Germany and to disseminate Chinese music. Moreover, the students, upon their return, disseminated German music education and drew on German experiences to enhance China’s music education. Sino-German exchanges in the field of music education have had a significant impact on the development of China’s music education. Firstly, the importance of Sino-Western music education exchanges had been recognized, and music education is incorporated into educational objectives in China. Secondly, the Chinese have gradually embraced Western concepts of music aesthetics, which leads to the widespread development of music education. Lastly, these exchanges laid a foundational framework for the advancement of professional music education in China, and a systematic modern music education structure and institutions were established. As a result, the standardization of music education in China had embarked on the fast track.
