THE DEVELOPMENT AND CHALLENGES OF CELLO TEACHING IN CHINA: INTEGRATION OF TRADITIONAL CHINESE MUSIC AND PEDAGOGICAL INNOVATIONS

Cheng Wenting — 2025-08-31

This paper explores the development and challenges of cello teaching in China, with a particular focus on integrating traditional Chinese music and culture into the pedagogical process. As China’s economy and international cultural exchanges have flourished, there has been a growing interest in Western instruments, especially the cello. This development has led to the establishment of systematic cello education in Chinese music academies, though challenges such as technical limitations, lack of interpretative depth, and unfamiliarity with classical works persist among learners. The paper emphasizes the need to blend Western cello techniques with Chinese musical traditions, highlighting the importance of incorporating Chinese cultural elements into cello pedagogy. Strategies for achieving this integration are proposed, including adapting traditional Chinese music for the cello, utilizing Chinese performance techniques, and fostering an understanding of both Western and Chinese artistic expressions. This fusion not only enriches the technical and emotional depth of cello performance but also enhances the educational experience by connecting students with the profound cultural heritage of China. Ultimately, the paper aims to provide valuable insights into how cello teaching in China can evolve by embracing both global musical practices and local cultural traditions, fostering well-rounded musicians who are skilled in both technical execution and artistic expression.
