新中国成立后,在国家及有关部门的支持下,我国民族音乐有了较大的发展,但一些音乐院校,虽为发展民族音乐做了不少努力,进行了探索与研究,但作为整个民族音乐教育事业,却没有得到应有的地位与发展。为了适应社会主义民族新音乐发展的需要,在周恩来总理的倡议和决策下,1964年3月,中国音乐学院应运而生。 After the founding of New China, with the support of the state and relevant departments, there has been a great development of our national music. However, although some music colleges and universities have done a lot of efforts in the development of national music and conducted exploration and research, as a whole National music education, but did not get its due status and development. In order to meet the needs of the development of new music for socialist nationalities, under the initiative and decision of Premier Zhou Enlai, in March 1964, the China Conservatory of Music came into being.
