Application of Situational Teaching in General Education Courses of Aesthetic Education in Universities: Taking the Course of “Appreciation of Music”

In recent years, universities have paid more and more attention to aesthetic education. Many universities offer a variety of music aesthetic education courses, covering music theory, music history, vocal music, instrumental music, music technology, and so on. Students can choose the appropriate courses according to their interests and learning goals. The college music aesthetic education class emphasizes practical teaching and pays attention to the cultivation of students' actual performance and creative ability. In class, students are often arranged to conduct practical activities such as chorus, musical instrument playing, and musical rehearsal to enhance their musical skills and performance. With the development of science and technology, many music aesthetic education classes begin to introduce digital technology and innovative tools, such as music production software and recording equipment to help students create, arrange, and record music and expand the ways and forms of music expression. At the same time, aesthetic education in colleges has encountered many problems in the process of development that need to be improved urgently.
