THE GENESIS AND EVOLUTION OF JAZZ ART AND POP-JAZZ EDUCATION IN CHINA

Abstract

The article examines the genesis and evolution of pop-jazz art and education in modern China through the prism of cultural and historical analysis. The author identifies and characterizes the main stages of the formation of jazz, the forms of its existence and examples of the active participation of individual representatives of this art form. Special attention is paid to the modern principles of teaching pop and jazz art on the example of one of the leading educational institutions in Beijing – “Beijing Midi School of Music”. One of the imperatives of this educational institution is the thesis that modern music has reached the peak of its development, which means that the accumulated material can and should be structured and systematized for further analysis and search for effective ways of mastering and transmitting to the next generations of musicians.
