作为一门独立学科,中国的音乐教育专业起步较晚,各音乐院校设立该专业大多是在二十世纪八十年代后期。发展至今,能够学贯中西在学术上有建树并具有国际影响力的音乐教育理论家可谓屈指可数。现任中国音乐学院音乐研究所所长的谢嘉幸教授,正是这样一位颇有成就的中国音乐教育理论家。 As an independent discipline, China’s music education started relatively late. Most of the music colleges set up their major in the late 1980s. To date, there are only a handful of music education theorists who can learn both Chinese and western academic achievements and have international influence. Professor Xie Jiaxing, now director of the Institute of Chinese Conservatory of Music, is such a successful Chinese music education theorist.
