A Typological Study of Music Listening Behaviors in the Digital Age

Based on music theory, this study focuses on the representation of “auditory culture” and “auditory diversity” in the typology of music listening behaviors, and explores the practical paths of music education for Korean students studying in China under the background of digitalization. By using the Songle digital music analysis tool, it helps Korean students in China to deeply understand the differences in auditory culture between China and Korea, such as the unique acoustic phenomena of “breath-sound expression of emotions” in China and “shouting resonance” in Korea, and systematically examines the application value of the above-mentioned scheme in music creation, precise digital strategy dissemination, and personal auditory culture.
