Music is a link to convey the feelings between people, and it is a non-verbal art that exerts a subtle influence on people. Without music, human beings will become dull. Kodaly, a famous Hungarian music master, said: Music is irreplaceable spiritual food. Good music can cultivate people's will, national feelings and collectivism, and cultivate people's self-confidence. And unhealthy concerts corrode people's souls. Therefore, he advocated attaching importance to music education from an early age, and the cultivation of musical ability should start from kindergarten. In kindergartens, small classes are especially critical. If the education method is improper, it will bring obstacles to the future ability training.
I have been engaged in small class education for many years, and have done a series of concrete work on the cultivation of small class children's musical ability, and accumulated some experience and methods. Specifically, there are the following aspects:
1. Cultivate children's ability to feel the power of music
Children in small classes are young and have poor ability, and their mastery of music is even more superficial. It is even more difficult for children to understand and master the strength of sound in music. Therefore, I use the familiar sounds in children's daily life to let children understand and distinguish the strength of the sound from the obviously contrasted sounds.
Small animals are children's favorite, and they usually have more contact, so children love to imitate the sounds of small animals, and the crowing of chickens and dogs in daily life can arouse children's great interest. Let the children distinguish the sounds of small animals and experience the strength of the sound. You will get twice the result with half the effort. In the teaching singing activity "I love my little animals", many children can give many examples to sing under the guidance of their teachers. Like a puppy? Wang Wang? Loudest, Xiaohua Mall? Meow? A weak cry, a duckling's? Gaga？ Forced to cry, chicken? Gigi? The crying is weak, and at the same time, some children can say: the voice of mother putting her little brother to sleep is weak, while the voice of father losing his temper is strong.
The nature is ever-changing, beautiful, and has its own strengths and weaknesses. For example, thunder and rain are familiar to children, and the contrast between them is obvious. I will let the children listen to the difference between the two in the weather with thunder and rain, and then I will record the thunder and rain for the children to imitate while listening, and finally let the children imitate.
Name the different places. Some children say: loud thunder, little rain. Some people say: thunder is as loud as a drum, and rain is as small as playing the piano. In order to let children really understand the strong and the weak, let them compete to see who imitates thunder, and the sound of rain is the most similar. Sudden class? Boom? Thunder and soft voices? Whistle? The sound of rain became a mass.
Because we pay attention to let children distinguish the strength of the voice from the familiar voice, now the children in our class can basically express their thoughts and feelings with different strengths when singing.
2. Pay attention to the cultivation of children's rhythm and intonation.
Music education should improve and develop children in all aspects of music. There are many elements that make up music, among which rhythm and intonation are the most basic, so I choose materials to train rhythm, pitch and intonation according to the age characteristics of small class children.
First of all, using Orca theory, using rhythm reading method to understand rhythm types, combined with rhythm training of language and action, cultivate children's sense of rhythm. Before each music activity, I will write a few simple rhythms suitable for small class children to read and sing on the blackboard in advance. * * * * * * and other simple rhythms for children to practice and ask them to read and sing while playing the rhythm. Sometimes the teacher demonstrates first, and the children imitate, trying to get every child up and practice the rhythm. This not only trained the rhythm, but also learned to beat the time. At the same time, teachers also use gestures to help singing, and use body rhythm to carefully design exercises and games to create a lively atmosphere for learning music, so that children can develop their vision and hearing in planned activities or games and enhance their sense of rhythm. Second, the pitch. I try to avoid word-for-word teaching when my children sing, but create singing situations for them, and help them understand the lyrics and get familiar with the melody of the songs through situational performances or physical picture operations. And before the activity, let the children stand up and practice their voices with the piano, and start training their listening and intonation skills from Do Me Fa Sol La Xidou. In this way, children are familiar with the lyrics, master the rhythm, and naturally improve their intonation. Now the child can follow the piano? c？ -b practice high-pitched singing.
After a period of teaching, most children's sense of rhythm and intonation have been improved to varying degrees. For example, several children with slightly higher pitch in the song performance "Two Birds" can sing quite accurately.
3. Cultivate children's ability to appreciate music
Music appreciation is to let children appreciate and feel the beauty of music. However, children in small classes are young, poor in ability and low in understanding and understanding of music, which requires teachers to create a good environment for children to enjoy music when organizing them to enjoy it. At the beginning of the training, let the children listen to some small songs with obvious rhythm and cheerful tunes. The songs are short and easy to listen to, so that the children can appreciate and imagine. And ask questions for them to listen with tasks. How do you feel after listening to music? What will come to mind? Children will tell their feelings after listening. It's not perfect, but it's also interesting. Not once, but many times. After several times like this, the child can say something. At the same time, the teacher's language also plays a key role in this. When children are new to appreciation and can't hear why, the teacher inspires and guides them to imagine the theme. For example, in the teaching of music appreciation "Apple Harvest", I first let children enjoy songs quietly and attentively, and cultivate their interest in listening to music works. Children like music once or twice. When they enjoyed it for the third time, some children began to dance to the music. At this time, the music stops. Let the children imagine a scene of the music they just heard and express it in words or actions. Coupled with the teacher's appropriate and timely language guidance, many children think of the scene of farmers' uncles harvesting crops. Wang Pengjie also thought of the grape harvest in Xinjiang. When you enjoy it again, children can feel the cheerful atmosphere in the music.
I use this method to teach music appreciation, so that children can fully develop association and learn many beautiful things in music, thus improving their ability to appreciate music.
4. Cultivate children's musical imagination and creativity.
Professor jared, a doctor of American psychology, once said: Every child has a desire to feel and experience some kind of art, and young children have an imagination that ordinary people can't measure. Therefore, in music teaching, I will pay attention to let children fully develop their own associations.
When teaching songs to perform "Spring", I am not in a hurry to teach the lyrics first, but let the children imagine what spring is like by themselves. Children are free to discuss. Then, ask the children to describe their imaginary spring with existing knowledge and beautiful words, or they can express spring with actions. When the child has finished speaking, the lyrics will be displayed, so that the child can hear the difference between what he sang in the song and what he imagined in spring, let the child enjoy the happiness after imagination and cultivate the ability of bold imagination.
Children's imagination is rich, and their creativity increases with their imagination. The rhythmic activity "My Little Hands" has a cheerful tune and short content, which is suitable for children to write lyrics and compose music. I use language to prompt, so that children can use their imagination to create things that small hands can do besides patting on the basis of the original lyrics, and fully mobilize their initiative and enthusiasm for learning. Children have learned the movements that small hands can do: pulling, lifting, touching, rubbing, rubbing and so on. And happily performed these actions, so that children can fully experience the joy after creating success.
The above is my experience in cultivating children's musical ability in small classes. In fact, there are many musical abilities, and the musical potential of children themselves is endless. Only by using correct methods, theoretical guidance and practical training can teachers give full play to children's abilities and let them grow up healthily and happily in the created music environment and under the constant influence of music.
