摘要

敏銳的聽覺以及音樂知識的認知是欣賞音樂不可或缺的要素。鑑於非音樂科系的學生，無論是相關知識的建構或聽覺辨識與判斷能力均有再加強之空間，因此充實音樂智能、拓展聆聽的廣度與寬度，為教師努力的方向。「音樂與生活」課程試圖從不同思維角度建構課程，以「生活」為核心思想設計教材內容、延伸作業、與討論活動，並以啟發思考、主動聆聽為教學導向。在內容上，以時間點滴的累積、不斷的嘗試與創新、觀察與關心周遭事物、與情緒的流轉等四個面向詮釋生活的意義與內涵，並擷選臺灣民謠、校園民歌、古典音樂、爵士、世界音樂、新世紀音樂等為搭配教材。在作業方面，強調與學生生活經驗結合為原則，除了引導他們能活用課堂所學外，也從不同角度思考本身所處之生活環境與時代脈動。在討論活動上，以音樂為觸媒引發對自身生活經驗的回想，並透過由助教帶領的小組討論方式，幫助學生探索自我。在教學方式上，以聽想訓練、視覺與聽覺經驗之感通、與議題導向等方式提升對音樂的感受力。在這門課程中，期許學生從生活的角度欣賞不同風格的音樂，學習領會音樂之美，並發掘自己的獨特性。

Music is the art of sound. If one wants to have deep understanding of music, he must possess acute sense of a hearing and certain degree of music knowledge such as history and theory. Non-music major students don't have sufficient capability for the above mentioned. Enriching the intelligence of music and expanding the scope and profundity of listening are the targets that teachers need to strive for. The music appreciation course, Music and Life, tries to construct the curriculum from different thoughts: taking ”life” as the core of planning teaching materials, assignment and discussion and encouraging students to think creatively and actively. There are four aspects to interpret the meaning of life: accumulation of time, innovation and attempt, changing of emotion and observation and concern of our surroundings. Taiwanese folksongs, the movement of campus folksongs, classical music, jazz, world music and new age are chosen for the teaching materials. The association of students' life experience is taken into account in their assignment. In addition to urging students to use what they have learned in the class, these assignments invite them to think about their environment and times. By the group discussion, students can introspect their own life experience stimulated by music. Discussion coordinated by teaching assistants leads students to explore themselves. Teaching methods, like audition, audio-visual correspondence and class discussion, boost students' musical sensitivity. Through the appreciation of different musical genres and styles and the discussion of various topics of life, students are expected to learn to treat the life from different aspects and cultivate the breadth of mind and the human nature of seeking beauty.
