Abstract

The arrival of the "Internet +" era has catalyzed significant changes in music education in China’s universities. Traditional teaching methods in university music education struggle to engage students effectively and fail to capitalize on the opportunities presented by contemporary technological advancements. In response to this challenge, this study aims to explore the strategies for music teaching using Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) for university music education in the era of "Internet +." Utilizing a methodological framework of library research, this paper examines current literature and educational practices to identify strategies for enhancing music teaching through the integration of (MOOCs). The study proposes eight key strategies including (i) transformation of teaching concepts, (ii) adaptation of music teaching content, (iii) reform of teaching modes, (iv) evolution of teaching methods, (v) enrichment of teaching content, (vi) innovation in teaching modes, (vii) strengthening of information system construction, and (viii) reinforcement of compound talent training. Through these strategies, educators can foster a more dynamic and engaging learning environment, thereby promoting the advancement of university music education in the contemporary digital age. The implications of these strategies are discussed in terms of their potential to enhance student interest, motivation, and learning outcomes. Additionally, suggestions are offered for educators to adapt and implement these strategies effectively within their teaching practices, ultimately contributing to the vibrant development of music education in higher education institutions.
