With the continuous development of the era, the inheritance of national culture has been paid more attention in the current education field. Therefore, as the main places of education, colleges and universities should also undertake the corresponding inheritance obligations and guide students to pay more attention to national culture. In this context, college music courses and other related content also need to be reformed and innovated from the aspects of educational philosophy, teaching content and teaching methods. At the same time, it is necessary to combine the actual teaching situation with the needs of national culture inheritance, so that it can be further developed in the new era. This paper mainly starts with the importance of college music education reform and the integration and development of national culture inheritance, and deeply analyzes the reform path of college music education based on the perspective of national culture inheritance, hoping to provide some new teaching ideas for relevant teachers to make contributions to the reform and practice of college music education.
