DESCRIPTION:Since the 1990s\, the digital wave has brought tremendous chan
 ge to music education\, not only in the world at large but also in mainlan
 d China in particular. In mainland China\, this change is not only one of 
 technical means\, but also of educational perspectives and paradigms. This
  article highlights three kinds of changes that have occurred in music edu
 cation reform\, under the impact of multimedia teaching technology in cont
 emporary China\, and the problems that have resulted from these changes:\n
 First\, the transformation of the teacher’s role – how music teachers 
 shift from being the providers of musical resources to being music instruc
 tors for musical life\;\nSecond\, the alternation of teaching patterns - h
 ow educational patterns alternate from cramming and teacher-centered appro
 aches to conversational and interactive styles of education\;\nThird\, a h
 eavy emphasis on the awareness of teaching resources - how the content of 
 music education achieves the fundamental change from a “teaching” focu
 s to a “learning” focus through the construction of resource pools and
  networks\;\nFourth\, the construction of interactive long distance learni
 ng – long distance education developed with the emergence of multimedia 
 and internet technology. The interactive technology of media and the inter
 net promoted the formation of a global music education network\;\nThis pap
 er argues that multimedia teaching technology has contributed greatly to t
 he reform of music education in mainland China\, motivating a foundational
  reconstruction of concepts\, methods\, and teaching content\, and transfo
 rming the music education tradition from a “teaching”-centered to a 
 “learning”-focused pattern. With the further development of multimedia
  technology and its application in the music field\, the far-reaching infl
 uence generated by this motivation will become increasingly apparent.\n\nK
 ey words: “teaching” and “learning”\, E-learning\, musical life in
 structor\, interactive education\, music network\n\n\nBiography\nXie Jiaxi
 ng (PhD) is Professor and Director of the Music Research Institute of the 
 China Conservatory. He is a board member of IMC and ISME\, Director-Genera
 l of the Chinese Music Education Society\, and Standing Director of the So
 ciety for Music Aesthetics of China. He has published 7 monographs and ove
 r 100 papers.\n
