The Value Expansion of Collaborative Piano in College Education - Taking the Teaching Practice of “The Sea-Sky Book” As An Example

Abstract

This paper focuses on the functional evolution and value redefinition of collaborative piano within the context of holistic education in higher institutions. Using the teaching practice of the symphonic song The Sea-Sky Book as a case study, it argues that collaborative piano should not be confined to traditional accompaniment or technical performance guidance. Instead, it ought to integrate deeply with literary interpretation, historical contextualization, and cultural value elucidation, thereby serving as an interdisciplinary pedagogical nexus and central vehicle that connects musical practice, humanistic literacy, and value cultivation. Through detailed analysis of the musical translation of poetic imagery, the construction of emotional narrative, and the artistic expression of maritime sovereignty consciousness in The Sea-Sky Book, this study proposes a tripartite pedagogical model-”literature-music-critical thinking”-that collaborative piano can implement in university curricula. The research offers practical references and theoretical insights for the deeper integration of artistic specialty courses and ideological-political education within the aesthetic education framework of higher education.
