The fundamental way to cultivate and develop the ability to perceive music is to continuously practice, experience and appreciate its beauty in the field of music art; these are the primary prerequisites for appreciation teaching. At the same time, appreciation teaching can also cultivate music attention and memory. Music is the art of listening. Therefore, listening is naturally the main way to appreciate music. The essential laws of music art and appreciation teaching determine that the fundamental method of appreciation teaching is listening. Without a high degree of concentration during the appreciation process, the fleeting music will not leave a distinct impression on us. In the process of appreciation, people should remember the melody theme of the music and its development and changes. A good musical memory is extremely important. Excellent musical works can make people forget the passage of time and immerse themselves in the enjoyment of musical beauty. This is also the process of cultivating students' musical attention and memory. In addition, the ability to express music and the ability to feel are inseparable. Music performance requires in addition to musical perception, memory, and imagination. It also requires certain skills in performing music. In terms of the order of learning music, you must first absorb it and then perform it. Learning music through appreciation is the most direct and effective way. Broadly speaking, singing, performance and creation must be based on appreciation. Music appreciation teaching is a powerful means to develop students' music perception ability and music creation ability. 1. Cultivate students' correct aesthetics and develop aesthetic abilities. The so-called aesthetics is a concept formed by people in their long-term practical activities of feeling, appreciating and creating beauty. It has national, era and class characteristics. Therefore, people's aesthetic ideals are closely connected with their worldview, ethics, etc. Appreciation teaching provides students with the best opportunities for aesthetic practice, so that students can not only feel the beauty of music language, but also understand the beauty of music content, form, and philosophy from the subject matter, genre, and style of musical works. Emotional activities in the appreciation teaching process enable students to pursue true, good and beautiful things, and hate and spurn false, evil and ugly things. In the field of art, truth, goodness and beauty and falsehood, evil and ugliness always exist in comparison. Sometimes, it is difficult to distinguish true from false. Good and evil are difficult to analyze, beauty and ugliness are difficult to distinguish. However, in music aesthetic education, it is required that people must be able to distinguish between truth, goodness and beauty and falsehood, evil and ugliness, so that they can distinguish between truth, goodness and beauty, and abandon falsehood, evil and ugliness. Appreciation teaching can cultivate students' correct aesthetics and also encourage students to In the aesthetic process, they should remove the false and retain the true, promote the good and abandon the evil, praise the beautiful and belittle the ugly, thereby developing their musical aesthetic ability. Beethoven said: "Music is not on the score, but between the scores." Therefore, in music classroom teaching, students' singing and appreciation cannot be mechanically bound to the notes, but they must be inspired to learn based on various elements of music. Expand rich and reasonable imagination, understand and express the composer's creative intention. Teachers can guide students to feel the basic elements of music by analyzing melody and lyrics, that is, the role of rhythm, speed, pitch, intensity, etc. in expressing musical emotions, and fully understand the thoughts, feelings and musical images of the work, thereby stimulating students It helps the educated to experience and express music, and ultimately achieve the purpose of music aesthetic education. 2. Music appreciation can improve students' comprehensive quality. Because music art is highly comprehensive and has a wide range of knowledge, it can teach a wide range of literature, geography, history, folklore and other knowledge, and involves various aspects of society, life, culture and other aspects. The musical tradition of a country or a nation is always closely related to the history, culture and social form of the country and the nation. While studying music, one can experience the music flow and cultural orientation of a country and an era, and expand students' knowledge. When enjoying the long-melody song "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau", teachers can introduce the Tibetan people's living habits, clothing characteristics, living conditions, religious beliefs, national culture and geographical environment to students based on the song. Together with the students, I analyzed the profound humanity in the lyrics and used personification to directly express the feelings of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Carefully appreciate the long-lasting artistic conception, a deep calling and expectation for heaven, earth and Buddha. In this process, we not only provide students with beautiful education, but also combine music teaching with language, history, geography and other courses as well as ethnology and religious knowledge. The resulting multiple effects not only consolidate and enrich students' all-round The knowledge also improves the students' intellectual structure. 3. Music appreciation education also plays a certain role in developing people’s intelligence and inspiring people’s imagination and creativity. Hugo said: “There are three keys to open the door to knowledge, one is letters, one is mathematics, and one is mathematics. Musical notes." It can be seen that music is as important as letters and mathematics in developing people's intelligence. When appreciating musical works, memory, observation, analysis, judgment, thinking training, etc. are required. Therefore, music appreciation can cultivate people's concentration, imagination, reaction, expression, coordination and creativity, etc. 3.1 Music appreciation promotes the development of students’ imagination. The development of imagination is an important way to develop intelligence. The human brain is divided into two hemispheres: the left hemisphere is responsible for logical thinking, and the right hemisphere is responsible for image thinking. Appreciating music evokes people's associations with related visual impressions, auditory impressions and other related things through sound and musical images. The coordinated activities of various parts of the body and organs promote the excitement of the left and right brains, thereby promoting the development of the whole brain.

Therefore, while music brings pleasure and enjoyment to people, it also continuously develops people's abilities in association, memory, observation, reaction and creation. If a person is influenced by music for a long time and develops the habit of innovation and imagination, it will definitely promote his desire for knowledge and new exploration, making the person think broadly and think quickly. 3.2 Music appreciation cultivates students’ creative thinking Music is a very creative art. In music teaching, there are opportunities to develop students' creative thinking everywhere. Creative thinking is not only reflected in the improvisation of songs and the production of simple musical instruments, but also fully reflects the use of creative thinking in music appreciation teaching. 4. Music appreciation can promote national culture and cultivate the spirit of patriotism 4.1 Appreciating national music can cultivate national cultural awareness. Soviet educator Suhomlinsky once said: “Music education... is not about cultivating musicians, but first of all, cultivating people. "The outline points out: "We must enable students to have the spirit of patriotism and collectivism, love socialism, inherit and carry forward the fine traditions and revolutionary traditions of the Chinese nation..." To achieve this goal, we must highlight the status of national music culture education . The art of a nation is preserved after thousands of years of development. It directly represents the culture of that nation, so art has a strong national character. Taking the traditional music of all ethnic groups in my country as an important teaching content in music classes, through appreciating national music, students can understand and love the music culture of the motherland, and enhance national consciousness and patriotism. Therefore, ethnic music education is a vivid and effective way to strengthen students' national consciousness, understand the traditional culture of the motherland, and inspire the national spirit. 4.2 Music appreciation is an effective way to cultivate the spirit of patriotism. Cultivate students' patriotism by appreciating the praise and praise of the motherland, people, history, culture and social development expressed in musical works. During the Anti-Japanese War, revolutionary songs such as "March of the Volunteers" and "Go to the Enemy's Rear Lines" inspired a large number of progressive students and young people to patriotic enthusiasm that "everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world." Many patriots sang these revolutionary songs and rushed to fight against Japan and save the country. battlefield. Thousands of young children carried red-tasseled guns, sang "Japanese Children's League Song" and "Who Said We Were Young", and also joined the fighting ranks, fighting and capturing Japanese invaders, and contributed their share to the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. strength. The above is enough to prove that music appreciation is an effective way to cultivate students' patriotism. In short, music appreciation is an important way and means to cultivate students' interest in music, expand their musical horizons, improve their musical feelings and appreciation abilities, develop their imagination, enrich their emotions, and cultivate their sentiments. The ability to appreciate music is not only one of the important signs of a person's aesthetic accomplishment. First, it is also one of the signs of cultural quality level. Based on this, I believe that music appreciation is the central content of all music education. Paying attention to music appreciation is not only forced by the development of the discipline, but also the voice of the public and the needs of the times. We must follow the teaching rules, actively exert our subjective initiative, and improve the status of music appreciation teaching in school music education.
