Abstract

This study aims to identify the demographic factors affecting Chinese music teachers’ attitudes toward world music teaching in China. Through electronic questionnaires issued online, a total of 1,368 participants completed A Survey of Music Teachers’ Attitudes Toward World Music Teaching, which includes demographic information and twenty Likert-type items. The results showed that two independent variables of “gender” and “whether teachers had received training in world music after entry” did not influence Chinese music teachers’ attitudes and practices in world music teaching. Furthermore, it could be speculated that the teachers, especially those who were 20-34 years old with a master’s degree/Ph.D. and 1-10 years of teaching experience, as well as good at Western instruments, studied world music courses, graduated from a comprehensive university, and with teaching places located in the provincial capital cities, leaned more toward ethnomusicological and multicultural consciousness in world music teaching.
