In general, the middle school music teacher qualification certificate is also divided into a written examination and an interview. The written examination tests comprehensive qualities, educational knowledge and abilities, and music subject knowledge and abilities. The inspection content includes: basic music theory, basic harmony, musical form analysis, basic polyphony, and song composition. The history of Chinese music, Chinese folk music; the history of Western music, Western folk music; and some famous teaching methods. The final major questions include: lesson plan design questions, lesson review questions, and case analysis questions. The written test for subjects one and two is similar to that of other majors. The written test for subject three is mainly about Chinese and foreign musicology-related knowledge, musical form analysis, composition, harmony, sight-singing, conducting gestures, and a small amount of orchestration knowledge. There are also teaching case analysis, lesson plan writing, teaching comments, etc.
During the interview, there was a trial lecture on the music subject, which was usually excerpted from music textbooks from various places. Please be careful and practice piano improvisation. The trial lectures draw questions from six courses: appreciation, singing, dance, drama, creation, and performance. The questions are not limited to the People's Education Edition. For example, during my interview, the trial lecture was a creative writing class, and the title was Schumann's "When the Warm Wind Blows Across the Sea." (I have never seen it before, and I was confused for several seconds) The question requires explaining how to make chords, the specific functions of I IV and V chords, and what kind of melody goes with what type of harmonic texture. So don't think that you will suffer big losses if you only base your questions on appreciation and singing.
Finally, good luck!
