隨著近年來「生活美學運動」的政策推展與對「美感教育」的重視，美感意識之培養以及美學如何落實於日常生活中便成為重要的社會議題。北美著名音樂教育專家B. Reimer的「美學論」（Aestheticism）主張音樂教育的主要價值為提高聽眾的敏感性，並讓聽眾培養出一種對於音樂的主觀性，而這需要為大眾建立一種可以與音樂藝術溝通的辨識力。基於此一觀點，研究者從Reimer的美感教育論點出發，並藉由E. Boardman的「衍生教學法」（The Generative Approach），希望將Reimer的美感教育學說實際應用於生活中，藉以深化社會大眾的美學素養與倫理觀念，也期望由此可使台灣成為一個更具生活力與競爭力的美麗島國。

With the pushing of the ＂Movement of Life Aesthetics＂ policy and putting emphasis on the ＂aesthetic education＂ during recent years in Taiwan, how the aesthetic consciousness can be cultivated and how aesthetics can be carried out in everyday life have become important social issues so far. According to the Aestheticism of Reimer, the value of music education is to enhance the sensitivity and cultivate the subjectivity of all listeners, so music educators have the responsibility to help people to cultivate the ability of discrimination to communicate with music art. Base on the ＂aesthetic education＂ of Reimer, the study intended to apply ＂The Generative Approach＂ of Boardman to cultivate the aesthetic literacy and ethical concept of the public in Taiwan.
