Quality education in contemporary universities is different from the narrow, one-sided and utilitarian professional education in the past. It pays more attention to the comprehensive, harmonious and sustainable development of the educated. It is an educational category aimed at strengthening vocational quality education, taking into account the existing professional training objectives, training specifications, curriculum and teaching plans. Tourism management major in colleges and universities is a comprehensive, applied and practical major. In terms of personnel training, we should not only pay attention to the cultivation of students' "talents", that is, the cultivation of professional knowledge and skills, but also emphasize the cultivation of "people", that is, the cultivation of people's morality, cultivation and connotation. Tasting music in the course of tourism management is conducive to improving the aesthetic ability of talents, and offering music courses further increases the comprehensive artistic ability of college students to combine tourism knowledge.

First, music appreciation course information

In the teaching of all courses, you need to choose 1 or 2 art-limited elective courses and pass the exam; Or at least 2 credits, students who have completed the required credits can graduate. Music art is a multi-functional subject, an education that affects feelings, spirit, morality and soul, and the key to open the door to natural science, social science and various fields. In order to cultivate high-quality talents in modern international construction, the limited elective course of music appreciation plays an undeniable role in improving college students' comprehensive aesthetic ability, practical ability and innovation ability, and cultivating all-round talents.

In the course teaching practice, students can learn the basic music art theory, taste and appreciate famous music art works at home and abroad, exchange their own artistic experience, hold art exhibitions, music programs and other artistic activities, and cultivate their correct aesthetic thinking, innovative thinking and artistic self-restraint.

Second, the necessity of offering music appreciation courses for tourism majors.

Throughout the ages, many scholars at home and abroad have made many incisive expositions on the educational function of music. Plato advocated: "Take sports as the body and music as the heart." Confucius emphasized that "it is not good to like changing customs." Therefore, music plays a unique role in cultivating people's inner quality. With the rapid development of tourism, the requirements for talents' quality are constantly improving. Professionals are required to have a solid foundation, master professional knowledge and operational skills, and have both ability and political integrity, good quality, strong adaptability, moral cultivation, personality cultivation, cultural cultivation and artistic cultivation, and can internalize their own behaviors in personal speech and behavior to truly realize the beauty of harmony. Art education is an important part of quality education, and offering music appreciation courses in tourism management major in colleges and universities is an indispensable way to cater to all-round quality education.

(A) Music culture is closely related to tourism. Music culture is inextricably linked with tourism, and music occupies an extremely important position in many cultural landscapes. Whether as a tourist attraction or as an additional tourist product, music can endow the tourist landscape with unique aesthetic connotation and unique cultural charm, and bring endless fun and unique experience to tourists. Today, with the highly developed informationization, music cultural resources have become the cultural carrier for many scenic spots to expand their popularity. The traditional music culture of all ethnic groups in China is one of the important tourist attractions that attract tourists from all over the world to visit and experience. For example, China's Kunqu Opera, Guqin Art, Mongolian Long-tune Folk Songs, Guizhou Dong Folk Songs, Guangdong Cantonese Opera, Angu Music, Peking Opera, etc. have all been selected into UNESCO's World Intangible Cultural Heritage List, and they are constantly known by the world with tourism, leaving their native land and going to the world.

(2) Enrich students' artistic and humanistic knowledge. Rich and interesting courses allow students to absorb more knowledge from different directions and fill their shortcomings; The teaching of music appreciation course can tell different backgrounds and stories of different music and musical instruments in different countries, which contains rich humanistic knowledge. Music, as one of the important carriers of human cultural inheritance, is a precious cultural heritage and wisdom crystallization in the process of human development. In the teaching of music appreciation class, teachers can appropriately increase the knowledge from different perspectives, such as what is the difference between music produced by different cultures in different periods; In times of peace and war, in modern and modern times, in China and abroad, how to distinguish the characteristics of music culture, so that students can understand the differences between eastern and western music cultures.

(3) Improve artistic accomplishment and cultivate noble sentiments. Music is an emotional art as well as an aesthetic subject. Good music is the soul of the soul and a high sublimation of human emotions. Music art is rich in national culture and artistic accomplishment, and also embodies the artist's thoughts, attitudes and value orientation. When we appreciate works of art, it will inevitably affect the national culture. Moreover, through the influence of the artist's outlook on life, world outlook and values, we are fascinated by the beauty of artistic conception depicted in artistic works, intoxicated by aesthetics, sublimated by emotions, and inspired by thoughts, and noble moral sentiments and civilized habits will naturally develop.

(D) Open students' innovative thinking and improve their aesthetic ability. Ye Lang, a famous scholar in China, said: "Tourism is an aesthetic activity. There is no aesthetics, let alone tourism. Tourism involves aesthetics and forms in various fields, and tourism activities are aesthetic activities. " No matter what kind of travel, it is to seek the enjoyment of beauty in constant travel activities, so as to please the body and mind, cultivate sentiment and increase the fun of life. With the pace of social development and the improvement of people's spiritual living standards, the demand for enjoying music is becoming more and more urgent. Although the music appreciation course offered by tourism majors can't develop students' musical cultural literacy with overly professional music art teaching methods, it can also cultivate students' innovative thinking through appropriate contact and guidance. The famous educator Suhomlinski said: "The perception and understanding of beauty is the core of aesthetic education and the main point of aesthetics." Music interprets everything in the form of notes, and people will be greatly mobilized, exercised and improved in the aesthetic experience of music. Specifically, the aesthetic ability of music includes the ability to feel beauty, comprehend beauty, create beauty and appreciate beauty. Through music education, students' aesthetic ability can be improved.

Third, summary.

Offering music appreciation courses for students majoring in tourism management in colleges and universities can promote the all-round development of students' physical and mental freedom, perfection and harmony, improve students' music appreciation ability, enhance their aesthetic ability, and cultivate excellent personality with positive and distinctive personality until their personality is perfect.
