Abstract:
The purpose of the study is to identify the rationales and notions for music education in Hong Kong and China. This study investigates the practice of music education in Hong Kong and China under the impacts of Westernisation and colonization particularly since the late 19th century. It also highlights the features of music education, and current issues in education in Hong Kong and China with regard to the two recently issued music curricula. The curricula reveal various resemblances and differences in the design of the music curricula, which bring to light recommendations that could be shared among other countries.
