ABSTRACT

The development of music therapy in China bean in the 1980s. In 1989, the Chinese Music Therapy Society was established. In the field of special education, the application research of music therapy has not stopped after nearly two decades of hard work. In fact, special education has received widespread attention, whether from research in educational theory or practical education. In this regard, this article focuses on the current development status of music therapy in special education. The most obvious and commonly used function of therapeutic music teaching is to regulate emotions - induce and construct positive emotional power, dissipate and release negative emotions, and the effectiveness of regulation directly depends on whether rhythm has been correctly applied and targeted. Through the learning, research, and teaching practice of music therapy, we would like to discuss with experts and teachers the feasibility of the development of music therapy in special education in China, and work together to promote the development of music therapy in special education.
