This paper

based on the practical work in higher education institutions

systematically explores the inherent consistency in the conceptual core of aesthetic education and music education

as well as the practical necessity for their integration. It points out that current practices in university music education face prominent issues such as an overemphasis on technique over artistry

prioritizing knowledge acquisition over aesthetic cultivation

a fragmented curriculum system

and a simplistic evaluation mechanism. To address these challenges

this paper proposes constructing a four-in-one integrated goal system encompassing "aesthetic immersion

cultural understanding

innovative practice

and value guidance." Furthermore

it suggests specific practical pathways and strategic recommendations from five dimensions: curriculum system restructuring

teaching model innovation

faculty team optimization

campus environment cultivation

and evaluation mechanism reform. The aim is to provide theoretical reference and practical guidance for promoting the organic integration of aesthetic education and music education in universities

thereby fostering the cultivation of well-rounded individuals for the new era who are developed morally

intellectually

physically

aesthetically

and labor-wise.
