摘要
This research attempts to uncover the influence of Western scholars’activities on music education in the Jingpo areas of Dehong Dai-Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture in western Yunnan,China,during the early 20th century.The differences exist in the cultures,languages,and beliefs of the various ethnic groups in Yunnan.As such,systematic basic education is difficult to carry out in order,especially music education.However,this phenomenon changed in the early 20th century with the arrival of Western scholars.This study will analyze existing literature and data collected in fieldwork to trace the origins of Western music education in the Jingpo areas.In addition,the study intends to explore the localized and modernized music education model used by Western scholars for Jingpo.Furthermore,this research may help broaden the understanding of minority communities to the development of music education policies that precede the implementation of regulations.Additionally,it seeks to raise awareness of the music of ethnic minority groups worldwide and to achieve equality of musical education resources in ethnic minority areas as much as possible.
