| Abstract: | This study aims to analyse the possibility of digitizing the music heritage of the Yellow River basin. The digitization of the musical heritage of the Yellow River basin facilitates the preservation and advancement of the cultural legacy of the region, as well as ensuring accessibility to it for researchers, educators, and the public. This process is executed through online platforms and databases, thereby providing inclusive access to the cultural heritage. The investigation engaged a cohort of 50 experts specializing in archiving and digitization. Throughout the study, a comprehensive examination of the technical facets of the conversion of analogue recordings into digital formats was undertaken. Furthermore, the research encompassed an analysis of the experiential integration of digital music archives of the Yellow River basin into the educational processes of the China Conservatory of Music, achieved through a survey administered to the faculty members. The research identified technical challenges associated with the digital processing of analogue music recordings, encompassing issues related to noise (64 per cent) and distortions (44 per cent). Seventy percent of the respondents underscored the significant role of digital archives in research and educational projects. However, 44 per cent highlighted difficulties in integrating them into educational curricula. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
