Abstract
This research objective was to survey on Teachers’ Perspectives of the Current Situation of Vocal Education at Three Music Universities in Guangxi province.
The research methodology was conducted by qualitative research，which was collected data by interviewing six vocal teaching experts and studying related literature.
The research finding was: According to the experts, the researcher learned that current situation of vocal education was not suitable to the students in Present. They gave some opinions about vocal teaching for the future which can be considered as following: (1) Teaching repertoire collection: appropriately expand the vocal repertoire. It should not be limited to professional bel canto songs and ethnic songs, but should appropriately include "Red songs" and "Internet popular songs" that were familiar and loved by the people. The choice of song styles could even be broadened. (2) Teaching concepts: Traditional vocal music education concepts and models can no longer adapt well to the requirements of the times. A single teaching method prevents future students from receiving professional music education. (3) Teaching methods: Some teachers rely on traditional teaching methods and do not accept new knowledge and concepts, making singing teaching methods outdated and difficult for students to understand. Teachers should regularly update teaching models and methods to better adapt to social needs. (4) Teaching content: "Vocal Music" can be added to the original course. (5) Art practice: students can go out of campus to practice art and strengthen their integration with society.
