About brass bands at pedagogical universities of China in the formation of students' musical culture

the importance of brass bands as a way of forming the musical culture of students studying at pedagogical universities is considered, and the features characteristic of both professional and amateur groups are considered. One of the significant problems inherent in both professional student brass bands, in which professional and amateur musicians participate, is the insufficient level of musical culture of the orchestra members. An approach is proposed and the stages of further research and pedagogical work are outlined that can optimize the musical, creative and educational process for both categories of participants in brass bands, taking into account the peculiarities of modern Chinese musical culture and further development trends. The analysis of modern scientific, primarily Chinese, literature on the research topic indicates a clear lack of theoretical understanding of the problems of brass band development in China. Based on the existing literature and our own research, strategies for further research and development of student brass bands in Chinese pedagogical universities have been identified. The research has practical significance for the development of the musical culture of students participating in brass bands in pedagogical universities of the People's Republic of China. The basic principles can also be used to optimize the activities of other orchestras (symphonic, folk) in Chinese universities. When discussing the main points expressed by the author at educational and methodological conferences and at specialized sections of music departments, the general direction of research was adopted and further ways of scientific work were determined.
