On the afternoon of May 20, 2026, a delegation led by Huang Yongyi, Member of the Standing Committee of the CPC Committee and Vice President of Chongqing Normal University—together with our Conservatory (the Tchaikovsky Conservatory of Music at Chongqing Normal University) and senior staff of the university's Psychological Counseling Center—made a dedicated visit to the Shanghai Conservatory of Music for thematic research and learning exchange.
Feng Lei, Member of the Standing Committee of the CPC Committee and Vice President of the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, extended a warm welcome to the delegation, and the two sides held a symposium in Conference Room 102 of the Cooperation and Exchange Building. At the meeting, Li Xiaonuo, Party Branch Secretary of the conservatory's Key Laboratory of AI Music Therapy, and Liu Hao, Director of the laboratory, gave a detailed introduction to its structure, research progress, and signature research achievements; Zhang Yi of the Office of the Arts shared the school's overall approach and concrete measures for university–enterprise cooperation and market-oriented development.
Vice President Huang Yongyi of Chongqing Normal University shared the Conservatory's program layout, discipline development, and long-term planning experience; Associate Professor Mao Mei of the Shanghai Conservatory of Music delivered a thematic report comparing the mental health status of students at specialized music institutions and comprehensive universities. Participants held in-depth discussions around the core topics of AI + music interdisciplinary innovation, integrated education–creation–performance–research talent cultivation, and the deep fusion of mental health education with music therapy, drawing on each other's advanced experience in school governance, research, and talent development.
The delegation highly recognized the Shanghai Conservatory of Music's profound educational heritage, top-tier discipline development, and frontier exploration in the field of AI + music. After the symposium, the delegation visited the Key Laboratory of AI Music Therapy on site, focusing on the AI Music Therapy Space and the Music Aesthetic Psychology Experiment Center—learning at close range the laboratory's mature experience in theoretical research, technology development, achievement transformation, and practical application, and deeply appreciating the developmental momentum born of the deep fusion of musical art and modern technology.
This inter-university exchange was pragmatic, in-depth, and highly fruitful. Guided by the principles of building on foundations, complementary strengths, and win-win collaboration, the two sides have reached a preliminary intent to cooperate. Going forward, our Conservatory will take this study visit as an opportunity to fully absorb the Shanghai Conservatory of Music's quality experience in education and research, deepen interdisciplinary integration and innovation, improve the talent cultivation system, and strengthen external exchange and cooperation—sparing no effort to advance the establishment and substantive development of the Tchaikovsky Conservatory of Music at Chongqing Normal University, jointly exploring new pathways for high-quality music education in the new era, and contributing to the flourishing of literature and art.
