The development of western music education in the second half of the 20th century can be summarized as "point" and "face". "Point" refers to the philosophical perspective on music education represented by Remer's claim of "aesthetic education as the center, while "face" denotes the "multi-cultural basis" represented by Elliot. To put it in another way, the philosophy of music education is composed of many "points" so as to form "face". This paper compares and develops the two views of music education from three aspects: background of time, case analysis and philosophical basis, in order to contribute to the study of music education.
