Some children are born without musical ability, their singing is difficult to listen to, and they are tone-deaf. More importantly, because their music is not good, it directly affects other subjects or their learning efficiency. This is the most fatal. How to learn music well? For children to learn music, listening and rhythm are abilities that children must have. Parents can try to train their children's hearing and sense of rhythm in normal times, so as to lay a good foundation for their children to learn music.

Listening and rhythm are abilities that children must have when learning music. Of course, some children may have talents in this area, but some children need training in these aspects. After all, There are only a few children with such talent. If parents want their children to have attainments in music, they should at least train their children in these two aspects.

1. Train children's keen hearing

(1) Listen and distinguish different timbres

Timbre refers to the color characteristics of sounds, and timbre is the difference between different voices, The acoustic characteristics of different musical instruments and their different combinations.

When listening to music, the ability to identify timbre is of very important significance and role for a person. When appreciating music, the listener first perceives the sound, which includes the ability to identify timbre. Therefore, timbre is also a means of directly touching children's senses in music. Since timbre is so important to a person studying music, how to guide children to find different timbres in life?

In normal times, parents can let their children knock on some objects around them, such as boards, cabinets, bowls, iron pieces, etc., to guide their children to listen and identify these sounds. In this way, children can initially explore the sense of color in addition to high and low sounds by tapping by themselves.

Then parents can further guide their children to compare the bright and dull sounds. For example, among musical instruments, the sound of a bass drum is relatively low and dull, while the sound of a bell is crisp and bright. Very different. In this way, children's listening ability will continue to improve as they explore and distinguish the timbres of various musical instruments.

Parents can also guide their children to use musical instruments with different timbres to accompany songs, poems, dances, etc. In the process, children can better understand the different timbres and effects of different musical instruments.

(2) Identify high and low sounds

First of all, parents should let their children know that sounds are divided into high and low sounds. Parents can let their children listen to the sounds made by hitting various objects, so that the children can discover this concept on their own during the listening process. Parents can do an experiment for their children: tap water bottles filled with different amounts of water, let the children listen to the pitch of the sound, and then ask them to look around for sounds of different pitches. For example, children can be guided to knock on the chair, the floor, the cupboard, the table, the door...so that the children can discover the difference between high and low sounds.

Secondly, let the children listen to the music on the piano. Every time you listen, you should guide your children to identify which pitch is high and which is low. Of course, this kind of training should be carried out frequently and repeatedly so that children can improve their ability to hear high and low notes while playing, singing and singing.

Finally, guide children to listen to the high notes in the music, such as listening to the high-pitched melody of the flute and the low melody of the cello, which can inspire children to identify which sound is high and which sound is low, what the high-pitched sound is like, and what the low-pitched sound is like. Doing so not only allows children to think actively and explore the pitch of sounds, but also allows them to further identify and imagine that high and low sounds represent birds flying and elephants walking. Frequent inductive inspiration will help children improve their listening skills and enrich their imagination.

(3) Feel the rhythm of music

Rhythm is the pulse of music, and any music has rhythm. To cultivate children's musical sensitivity, we must first pay special attention to the training of rhythm, which has an important role in children's future growth that cannot be underestimated. Children cannot learn to sing, dance, or play musical instruments without a sense of rhythm. So how to guide children to feel the rhythm of music?

First of all, children must be taught how to listen and the ability to explore rhythm. With this ability, children can learn actively. We live in a world of sound, full of different music and rhythms.

Secondly, you can let your children listen to music and play rhythm. Generally speaking, younger children will first shake objects to make noises, and then gradually learn to knock objects. In the process of shaking the object, the child's initial sense of rhythm has been generated. Parents can guide him to shake to the rhythm of the music by turning his hands and clapping his hands. The child practices hand movements, which in turn develops a sense of rhythm and auditory acuity.

For older children, let them tap to the music. You can also train them to stamp their feet and clap their hands. Then it progressed to stomping the feet and clapping the hands to beat the rhythm. Let children develop their hearing through listening and moving activities, and develop their thinking ability and coordination of hand and foot movements.

Finally, you can consider using various forms to let your children feel the rhythm. Children will gain psychological satisfaction and pleasure from using musical instruments to make rhythm. They can also use percussion instruments to express certain emotions, thereby developing their creative abilities. Parents can provide their children with some small instruments or homemade small instruments, and play rhythm with their children. This is a good encouragement and promotion for children to learn rhythm.

Parents can consciously guide their children to listen to the surrounding environment various sounds. Our lives are surrounded by various sounds, both in nature and in social life, including the honking of cars, the chirping of insects and birds, the ticking of rain, the roar of thunder and lightning, and the roars of animals. , these are natural rhythms. Parents can use these rhythms to naturally and consciously guide their children to listen and imitate, so that their children can grasp the pitch, pitch and rhythm during the imitation process.

Parents can carry out some listening games to let their children experience the varied rhythms. When children already have the initial ability to feel the speed of music, parents should listen to more fast-paced marches and some small music that expresses animal images, so that children can freely do some actions according to the rhythm changes of the music and their own imagination. , or play some rhythm games. Let children continue to improve their musical sensitivity in these relaxed and enjoyable games, and also make children more and more interested in activities.

(2) Rhythm training for children

Parents can train their children's rhythm by reciting children's songs. Parents can choose some children's songs with strong rhythm and rhythm to train their children's rhythm. You can start with simple rhythm patterns and then slowly transition to more complex rhythm patterns.

Parents can let their children use body movements to express rhythm. Choose a song with rhythm exercises and have your child practice along. During the practice, it is important not only for the children to sing accurately but also to hit the rhythm accurately. Although this makes rhythm training more difficult, it also cultivates children's attention. After the child is proficient, you can let the child change the clapping to leg slapping, shoulder slapping, stomping feet and other actions. In this way, due to the change of actions, children will still be interested in reviewing.

Parents should let their children experience various rhythms freely. Usually parents can let their children play some musical instruments at will so that they can feel the rhythm. Children will naturally master many rhythm types in the process of free and natural tapping and imitation exercises.
