Learning experience of "Appreciation of Chinese Ethnic Folk Music"

This semester I took the course "Appreciation of Chinese Ethnic Folk Music". Under the guidance of Teacher Huang, I learned about various Chinese folk music. They have a preliminary understanding of the nation's traditional music, and their artistic literacy and art appreciation abilities have been improved to a certain extent. I have benefited a lot from this elective course. Let me talk about my experience.

In fact, when I choose elective courses, I just want to earn the credits I need, and I don’t really care about what I study. I am a so-called person without musical ability. My understanding of music is limited to my interest in music. I listen to it if I think it sounds good, but I cannot have a deep understanding of it, such as the emotions contained in the music and what it shows. We cannot understand the artistic conception and the meaning it contains.

The reason why I chose Chinese folk music appreciation is probably a coincidence. Unexpectedly, I went from being stubborn to come to class at the beginning to looking forward to coming to class every Wednesday night. Finally, when the class was about to end, I felt so happy that I had a new understanding of music, and it seemed that I could try it. Understand music, touch music.

The most indispensable thing in the world is sound, and the most beautiful thing among sounds is music. Music is the interpretation of all sounds in the world and the spice of social life. Without music, the world would be dull and boring, and life would be lifeless and lifeless. Therefore, music enriches our lives and cultivates our sentiments. After this semester of study, my perspective on music has changed. After studying music appreciation class for one semester, I have a new understanding of music, and my music appreciation ability has also been improved to a certain extent. Before taking the Chinese folk music appreciation class, I thought music was just for listening. In fact, it is not the case. The functions of music are not just these. The so-called music, in a broad sense, is any kind of artistic, pleasant, sacred or other sounds arranged in any other way. It is a symbol, a sound symbol, which expresses people's thoughts and is one of the carriers of people's thoughts; it has a purpose and connotation, and it contains the author's life experience, thoughts and feelings; it can be used Organized melody and rhythm to express people's thoughts and feelings and reflect real social life.

Because it is an appreciation class, in addition to the music played by the teacher in class, I also downloaded some more traditional ethnic music from the Internet to enjoy. For example, "Mountains and Flowing Waters", "Birds Paying Attention to the Phoenix", "Spring River with Flowers and Moonlight Night" and so on. After listening to it myself and what the teacher said in class, I began to have a better understanding of national music. Chinese ethnic folk music is a unified concept, which includes the folk music arts of the Han and various ethnic minorities, such as Zhuang folk songs, Mongolian pastoral songs, Han dialect songs, etc. We don't necessarily have to have a lot of music knowledge or a high level of appreciation, we just need to open our ears and listen to music. When listening to music, we will feel that the melody is beautiful or catchy, and intuitively choose songs or pieces of music that we personally find pleasant to listen to. At the same time, we can also experience the emotions in songs and pieces of music at a deeper level. and connotation. We can appreciate the same song or piece of music repeatedly, through association, and through thinking, to get the feelings that the song or piece of music conveys. Furthermore, we can understand the background, style, genre of the musical work, the characteristics of its musical language and the life of the author, etc., and gain a deeper understanding of the connotation of the musical work. In this process, we need to have an understanding of the basic knowledge of music and a certain ability to appreciate it. When we appreciate music works more deeply, we can not only gain the pleasure of the appreciation process, but also cultivate our musical aesthetic ability and cultivate our sentiments.

I think that studying "Appreciation of Chinese Ethnic Folk Music" will help cultivate your ability to pay attention to life and love life. Folk music, as the name suggests, of course comes from the folk. The so-called practice is the source of knowledge, and folk music in its nature reflects the historical process, reality and people's daily life of the nation. Only by listening carefully can we truly understand the ideological connotations expressed by folk artists and understand the splendor of the world. For example, by listening to the song "My Home in the Beautiful Grassland", we can appreciate the vastness and magnificence of the prairie and the happy life of the herdsmen. By appreciating "In That Distant Place", "Lift Your Hijab", etc., we can understand the customs and customs of the northwest region and broaden our horizons. The list goes on and on. Such appreciation classes are more enlightening than boring books.

Secondly, studying "Appreciation of Chinese Ethnic Folk Music" is conducive to promoting national culture. Faced with the increasing decline of national and folk music today, carrying out folk music education in colleges and universities can expand the popularity of folk music, increase its influence, and promote the revival of folk music.

Studying "Appreciation of Chinese Ethnic Folk Music" will help enrich the spiritual and cultural life of our college students and improve our spiritual taste and artistic quality.

The "Appreciation of Chinese Ethnic and Folk Music" class has ended. I would like to thank the teacher for imparting his professional knowledge, which enabled me to go from a simple superficial understanding of "listening to songs" to a basic appreciation method of appreciating music elements. transformation.

As soon as I started studying this course, I felt the charm of music. Maybe it’s true: we don’t all have to be musicians, but knowing how to appreciate music is the most direct expression of our love for music. Through a semester of study, I gained aesthetic pleasure by listening in this way and reading and analyzing the background and materials about the music.

Now, through the course of music knowledge, I have learned the basic knowledge about music. Under the guidance of the teacher, I understand how to appreciate music and how to appreciate music, and I deeply understand that Music can not only produce the effect of praising and praising people or things, but also people's joy, anger, sorrow, and joy; narration of things; stimulating our passion; satire of people or things, etc., can all be perfected in music. To show it, this also requires a certain level of music appreciation and appreciation. Now that I have learned how to appreciate and appreciate music, I want to live a more colorful life among the notes of music in my future life. .

In my future study and work, I will apply what I have learned and further improve my music appreciation ability.
