Abstract

World percussion is becoming increasingly important as a major teaching course in American colleges and universities. The percussion chosen may come from Africa, Latin America, East Asia, and more. However, according to the study, no American colleges and universities have conducted Chinese ethnic percussion programs. There may be several reasons for this: first, it is geographically far away. Second, the existing papers on Chinese ethnic percussion, especially in English, are too broad in their choice of arguments. For example, these papers do not consider the possibility of implementation when choosing Chinese ethnic percussion instruments. On the contrary, the choice of instruments in this dissertation incorporates the requirements of today's Chinese higher education institutions for the selection of instruments for the discipline of Chinese ethnic percussion. Third, some research works are too specific. For example, they only talk about Peking Opera percussion or percussion from a certain place in China. These types of percussion serve as an important part of Chinese ethnic percussion but do not represent the whole of Chinese ethnic percussion. The starting point of this dissertation is mainly for Chinese ethnic percussion in Chinese higher education institutions. It is in a way more representative.
