Abstract：Primary school music as the foundation of music education is important as a means of promoting aesthetic education. It is therefore one of the required courses in elementary schools in China.Music education enhances intellectual enlightenment and creativity and cultivates the imagination. Hence, it has a unique role in the elementary school curriculum.  Research has concluded that music education in rural schools has historically not received the attention it deserved and the result is a lack of development as a major part of the elementary school curriculum. 

    China’s rural population accounts for 80% of the total population and consequently a very large number of students are affected by this situation. The new philosophy of education promotes a curriculum that encourages and supports an appreciation of the complex talents required to function in a modern and ever changing global society. The unique features of music education can not be substituted by other disciplines. In view of the identified problems in rural primary and secondary music education, the author of this study attempts to provide some practical recommendations to promote the development of music education and ultimately result in positive outcomes for the elementary school curriculum.
