Abstract

China has a long and influential musical tradition based on the philosophy and culture of ancient China. Chinese folk music is considerably different from western traditional music, paying more attention to the form expression as well. At present, the pedagogy and didactic materials used in Chinese college piano teaching are primarily from the western educational system, so that many students have produced a wrong idea that the West is always better, largely ignoring Chinese traditional culture and folk music in piano learning. Here, we highlight the importance of inheriting and integrating the traditional folk music culture of our country into the western piano educational system in colleges and universities. We also explore strategies, techniques and concepts involved in the integration, discuss the cultural difference and blending between the China and the West, and give a prospect in future Chinese college piano education.
