Abstract

This study examines the student arts ensemble at Yibin University through field research and case analysis, systematically reviewing the current state of arts ensemble development in higher vocational institutions. It identifies core issues, including inadequate management systems, insufficient teaching resources, and students’ lack of a professional foundation. Drawing upon organisational behaviour and arts education theory, it proposes improvement pathways including refining management systems, strengthening faculty development, cultivating artistic leaders, and optimising facility allocation. The effectiveness of these approaches is validated through Yibin University’s reform practices, offering theoretical reference and practical insights for arts ensemble management in mainstream higher education institutions.
