Research on the Practice of Music Theater Teaching in Secondary Schools and the Cultivation of Core Competencies from the Perspective of Aesthetic Education

This study explores the innovative pathways and educational value of music theater teaching within the framework of aesthetic education reform in secondary schools. It systematically examines the multidimensional aesthetic functions of music theater across four domains—aesthetic perception, artistic expression, cultural understanding, and creative practice—and constructs a tripartite model integrating “technology, culture, and education” alongside an aesthetic immersion framework centered on “artistic practice empowering cultural heritage”. The research demonstrates that intelligent technologies and interdisciplinary integration significantly expand the boundaries of music theater education, transforming it from a mere artistic performance into a multidimensional educational platform encompassing cultural transmission, psychological healing, and social communication. Accordingly, a differentiated three-tier promotion system tailored to metropolitan, county-level, and rural schools is proposed, providing a replicable theoretical framework and practical paradigm for aesthetic education reform.
