ABSTRACT

Vocal music is an art form. Its emergence and development cannot be separated from social environment and historical factors. As a unique cultural phenomenon, Chinese folk music has different styles in different regions, so it is of great significance to study it. In the process of vocal music learning, rhythm is a crucial part. Therefore, this paper has conducted an in-depth study on the mastery of music rhythm. This paper mainly used the methods of questionnaire and interview to investigate the methods of mastering the rhythm of national vocal music. According to the survey data, 49% of people believed that developing a sharp sense of rhythm is the ultimate goal of rhythm training. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the training method of vocal music rhythm from the aspect of rhythm and motion.
