How to Improve Music Literacy in Music Teaching
Music makes us full, happy and relaxed. Music has its unique function, that is, to adjust people's mood, cultivate people's sentiment, temper people's will, cultivate people's personality, and form a correct outlook on life, values and aesthetics on this basis. Music is one of the important means of aesthetic education, and the essence of music education is aesthetic education, which is a project to shape people and has the function of integrating personality.

First, strengthen music literacy education.

The so-called musical literacy, including musical literacy and musical literacy, requires not only basic and general musical knowledge and practical ability, but also higher cognitive ability and aesthetic ability to music. Improving music literacy can strengthen students' comprehensive quality and deeper perception of external things.

First of all, art plays an important role in aesthetic education, and music, as a kind of art, also has its special position. Music is the art of sound and plays a very important role in people's lives. Good music can purify the soul, beautify sentiment and promote people's health and progress. What kind of music to listen to and what kind of emotional songs to sing not only shape a person's emotional infection and temperament, but also have an important subtle influence on the spirit and fashion of the whole society. March of the Volunteers played an active role and influence in the extraordinary period. Confucius was a great educator in ancient China, and also the earliest and most influential music educator. Among Confucius' "six arts" in cultivating his disciples (ritual, music, shooting, imperial, calligraphy and mathematics), "music" is the second. In his educational philosophy, morality and music complement each other. "Governing the people with equality, not good at etiquette, changing customs, not good at music", in which "music" means achieving harmony, and he advocates improving moral character through music. Plato, an ancient Greek philosopher, emphasized the purifying effect of music on people's thoughts. He said, "Music education is much more important than other education". He believes that music education not only pays attention to moral and social education, but also undertakes to educate people into beautiful people and perfect people.

Secondly, pay attention to improving the creative thinking of music. The process of creating music is the process of experiencing the beauty of music, and music is the art of emotion. People can improve their self-cultivation, correct their conduct and become a noble person through music activities. At the same time, to express your feelings in music, you need to adopt an important way of expression, that is, singing (playing), but music creation often exists at the same time as singing (playing). It can be said that singing (playing) is a direct expression of musical emotion, and musical works are an important carrier of musical emotion. Music education plays a unique role in cultivating students' creative ability, so how to cultivate students' creative thinking in music class? I think it should be based on a certain accumulation of knowledge, creatively solve problems and generate new thinking activities. Creative thinking in music is often easily associated with music creation. Of course, the outstanding performance of creative thinking in music is music creation, but in the process of music teaching, we can't train professional composers, but should stimulate students' creative consciousness, develop students' creative thinking ability, explore students' intelligence and cultivate creative thinking people through creative thinking activities in music.

The cultivation of students' music creative ability can start with creative music learning activities. In music teaching, music creation can be said to be one of the most concrete and effective experience and learning methods. In music learning, students not only need to learn and experience other people's works, but also need to train them to use the basic elements of music to fully express their own musical ideas, which is also one of the purposes of music teaching. Music creation is a meaningful learning activity. In this activity, students can experience the process of music creation by operating the basic elements of music. We say that musical creativity is an important subject to develop people's creative thinking and ability. It will run through the whole music teaching process, based on students' existing experience of the basic elements of music, so that students can experience and appreciate the process of music creation. The process of making music is actually a creative process, which we call three-time creation: composition, performance and appreciation. I think performance and appreciation are also a kind of creation. The earliest is the combination of performance and creation. Therefore, the process of creating music is the process of experiencing the beauty of music, which is conducive to understanding one's own progress and promoting the perception, expression and creation of music. Making full use of the unique charm of music in music teaching, activating students' desire for expression and creative impulse, and developing students' imagination and creative potential will undoubtedly provide a good way for students to improve their personality.

Thirdly, how to perform music plays an important role in music education. Music performance is a practical activity and an important way to cultivate students' musical performance ability and aesthetic ability. The so-called "performance": "Cultivate students' self-confident singing, playing ability and comprehensive artistic expression ability, develop students' performance potential and creative potential, so that students can express their personal feelings in the form of music, communicate with others, and have harmonious feelings, so that students can enjoy good pleasure in music practice and be influenced by emotions". At the same time, music performance can cultivate students' self-confidence, which is an affirmation of self, a positive attitude and a display of students' good personality.

1, strengthen the teaching of music theory

It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish. If we want to do anything well and do our work well, we must combine theory with practice. The theory divorced from practice is not feasible; However, if there is no correct theory to guide classroom teaching, understanding will stagnate and work will be passive or blind.

Theory is a key to guide practice. Mastering theoretical knowledge is conducive to accurately grasping things, and the cognition of things should be understood and studied in essence, so as to improve to a higher level. To learn music well, music theory is the key to open the door to music, and it is true to attach importance to and require students to learn music theory knowledge well. In teaching, the study of music theory knowledge is often ignored, which is a fatal deficiency in music teaching. Therefore, the teaching of music theory bears the brunt for students to understand and learn music at a deeper level. If students' understanding of music is limited to singing, dancing and playing notes in daily life, it is not enough. They should study, create and develop music on the basis of theory, tap the truth and charm of music and cultivate the ability of lifelong learning.

2. Teaching method is an important way to get music education.

Teaching is an activity to guide students' learning, and teaching methods are an important part of teaching. Since there has been human teaching activities, there has been the creation and application of teaching methods. Various methods used in teaching are "means" to achieve teaching objectives. Teachers should not only use appropriate methods to guide students' thinking and active learning, but also decide appropriate methods according to students' learning interests, abilities, teaching materials and even teaching atmosphere. With the acceleration of the times, education has reached a new height. In music teaching, teachers should use multimedia and other modern teaching methods to improve students' interest in learning music. Multimedia teaching is vivid and three-dimensional, which strengthens the introduction of situations, interests and emotions, vivid pictures, vivid rhythm and dynamic texture, detailed and pleasant explanations and exercises. This modern teaching method is vivid, vivid and impressive, which is conducive to promoting students' development, improving the quality of mastering knowledge and improving the quality and efficiency of education and teaching. Modern teaching methods play a very important role in consolidating all aspects of knowledge and intelligence development. This music teaching reform is a good means to promote students' strong interest in learning music.

3. Promote the learning and appreciation of healthy music.

Music is no stranger to people. As an art and a social ideology, it reflects human social life and thoughts and feelings. It infects the viewer through the perfect combination of rhythm, melody, harmony and timbre. People often say that music can cultivate sentiment and purify the soul, which is of course inseparable from the characteristics of music and people's psychological perception of music. People's perception, understanding and appreciation of music are accomplished through a series of psychological activities, and the social function of music is mainly exerted imperceptibly through the psychological activities of the appreciators.
