Research on the Application of Intangible Cultural Heritage Music Culture in Higher Education Music Teaching

Abstract

Intangible cultural heritage (ICH) music, as a core part of ethnic culture, contains rich historical, artistic, and social values. In the context of globalization and modernization, ICH music faces challenges in terms of survival and inheritance. This paper explores the definition, characteristics, historical development, and transmission paths of ICH music, analyzing its educational functions and practical value in higher education music teaching. The study finds that ICH music not only cultivates students' artistic literacy and innovative thinking but also enhances cultural identity and social responsibility. This paper proposes pathways for integrating ICH music into higher education music teaching, including curriculum system integration, teaching method innovation, and resource development and utilization. The challenges faced and future development directions are also discussed, with a call for new opportunities for the inheritance and innovation of ICH music through modern educational technology and interdisciplinary integration.
