Babies of different ages appreciate different music

★When babies reach the age of two, they can not only focus on listening to music, but also experience simple musical works. Such as:

1. Chinese and foreign children’s art songs: "I Love My Little Animal", "Pug", "Ants Moving Beans", "Little Kitten", "Painter", "Little Star" , "Jingle Bells" and so on.

2. Visual children's instrumental music: For example: "Piano", this is a piano ditty by Gu Jialin, with a beautiful melody, showing the vivid scene of children sliding down the slide from bottom to top and rapidly going down. "Bird's Song" and "Duck's Dance" express the image characteristics of birds and ducks.

3. Appreciate Chinese and foreign (classical, modern) dance music, marches, and lullabies of various natures and styles.

★Three-year-old children are more motivated to appreciate music. Music can cause emotional excitement. Happy and lively music makes children happy, and quiet music makes children calm. However, it is not easy for them to understand the emotional nature of musical works. When they listen to music, what they pay most attention to is often the characteristic factors of the theme. Such as simulated intro, outro, vivid accompaniment patterns, etc. However, when listening to marching music, rocking blues or happy dance music, they can walk along with the music, hold a baby, and dance excitedly, etc.

★Three-year-old children can already identify the speed changes in musical works, and their movements can change with the changes in music speed.

Three-year-old children still have difficulty perceiving changes in intensity and pitch. For example, when the music melody is in the high-pitched area and the low-pitched area, they must understand that the bird flies briskly and the bird sings loudly under the guidance of an adult. , while the elephant’s voice is thick and thick. The memory of three-year-old children is gradually formed. They can remember songs mainly by lyrics that are closely integrated with the tunes. The easiest to remember are onomatopoeic words such as: "Boom", "Meow", "Meow", followed by Image specific lyrics.

The instrumental music has corresponding titles and the music has a vivid image, which can also help children remember. For example: "Small Drum Band" simulates the sound of drums and trumpets... Four- and five-year-old children can already appreciate works with a wide range of content and diverse nature and styles, and can distinguish music with obvious changes in intensity and speed, especially music with sharp contrasts. However, subtle changes in intensity and speed cannot be sensed yet.

★By the age of six, children have understood that musical works express certain ideological content, and can correctly identify the emotions of musical works and perceive their subtleties.

Six-year-old children can initially grasp the means of musical expression and can identify changes in speed, intensity and register. Their ability to identify the structure of music has been strengthened, and they can now perceive the two-part and three-part structures without any difficulty. The memory ability of six-year-old children has improved, and their aesthetic ability has also improved. They can clearly express whether they like or dislike musical works, and can say: "I like" and "I don't like".

The above-mentioned levels of music appreciation development of children of different ages refer to the levels that can only be achieved under the correct guidance of parents and teachers.
