Keywords:
Non-music college students, participation in music, music educationAbstract
Students' development cannot be separated from music, and music education plays an important role in the overall development of students, while music participation in music has an important impact on the mental health of non-music majors college students, which is more helpful to the overall development and provides emotional support. After affirming the importance of music participation, this paper combines relevant theories to explore the influencing factors of music participation in music for non-music majors, including college students, involving social support, enjoyment and love of music, past music experiences, and basic psychological needs. These factors interact with each other to promote students' participation in music.
