Abstract
Outstanding elementary school music teachers are outstanding representatives of the elementary school music teacher community, and they are the objects of study and emulation for general elementary school music teachers. Their professional growth experiences can provide inspiration for teacher education institutions to train elementary school music teachers and for general elementary school music teachers to grow professionally on their own. The narrative study of the outstanding elementary school music teachers revealed that the factors affecting their professional growth were from four aspects: personal, family, school and society, and the basic ways of their professional growth were professional learning, teaching and research activities and reflective summaries. It is pointed out that social opinion and encouragement are the key prerequisites for the professional growth of elementary school music teachers, government support and guidance are the important conditions for the professional growth of elementary school music teachers, and school service and management are the basic guarantees for the professional growth of elementary school music teachers, and independent learning and reflection are the inexhaustible motivation for the professional growth of elementary school music teachers.
