Abstract: This research aims to investigate the significance and background of the Chinese Music Education History course in normal universities in the People's Republic of China, develop the course curriculum for these universities, and implement and evaluate the developed curriculum within their academic context. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the study utilized field data collection and expert interviews to explore the current state and institutional context of the course. Based on these findings, a curriculum was designed and subsequently implemented, after which a questionnaire survey of 15 students was conducted to collect feedback and identify necessary revisions. Five experts were then invited to evaluate the curriculum's structure and content. Data collection instruments included interviews, the draft curriculum document, and evaluation questionnaires. The research confirmed the significance and background of the course through policy analysis, interviews, and surveys, highlighting its importance in music teacher education while identifying practical challenges and proposing solutions. In response to these issues, a structured curriculum was developed, incorporating key components such as course nature, credits, class hours, scheduling, description, objectives, content modules, assessment methods, learning outcome evaluation, and recommended teaching materials. After implementation and evaluation, data from the pilot phase were used to refine the final version, which now serves as a reference for offering the course as an elective in undergraduate music education programs at normal universities.
