title = "The Rise of Individualistic Values, Social Change, Popular Culture, and Depoliticization: Challenge to Music Education",
abstract = "In the face of rapid social, political, and economic changes since the 1978 Open Door Policy, popular culture, in the form of values and ideological struggles, has played a key role in China{\textquoteright}s experience of social transformation and market economy. This chapter will explore three major areas by providing an account of social change, value change, and modernization in the ever-changing learning society; an examination of China{\textquoteright}s youth and the rise of individualistic values toward modernization and economic reforms in the past three decades; and a study of popular culture in reconstructing the nation{\textquoteright}s approach to school music education. Through select song materials, this chapter will examine the challenges to realizing programmatic curricula in music classrooms through the integration of personal ideals into the school music curriculum in respect to the promotion of happiness and freedom, as well as the cultivation of personal dreams.",
