Training of "Set" Thinking Mode in Traditional Theory Composition Teaching

The most important thing in music creation is the cultivation of thinking mode and personal consciousness, that is, how to use rational techniques to properly express the perceptual "motives". The author believes that the accumulation of these emotional "motives" should be slightly quantized. In this paper, the author calls this mode of thinking "set" mode of thinking. This paper attempts to take different music works as examples, from three aspects, from the whole to the part, to explore the methods for training of "set" thinking mode in traditional theoretical composition teaching. In the first part, the author puts forward to train it from the analysis of musical works; in the second part, proposes to train it from the composing process; and in the third part, suggests training it from the sight singing and ear training course. The discussion process of the three parts is all combined with spectral examples and illustrations.
