The "Music Curriculum Standards" require that "cultivating students' good behavioral habits, tolerance, understanding, mutual respect, solidarity and cooperation and the spirit of collectivism in music teaching, so that students can learn truth, goodness, and In the beautiful world of music, we are inspired by noble sentiments. "As an important part of aesthetic education, music courses in primary schools have rich and profound moral education connotations. It takes patriotism education as its core. In addition, music teaching materials also educate students to love nature, love science, love learning, love labor, establish lofty ideals, inherit revolutionary traditions, respect teachers, be friendly to each other, etc., from all aspects through various forms Education cultivates students to develop noble moral qualities. As a music teacher, we should make use of the particularity of the music subject to deeply explore the inherent ideological and emotional educational factors in music songs, and use the "subtle" method to fully reveal these thoughts and emotions to students so that they can better feel and experience them. and performance, from which they can be cultivated emotionally, influenced morally, enlightened spiritually, and even edified and infected willfully, reaching the state of moral education of "moistening things silently".
1. Start with lesson preparation and penetrate moral education.
Some teaching materials have obvious ideological education purposes and are explicit teaching materials, such as: "How Happy We Are", "Labor is the Most Glorious", "Let's Be Polite from Childhood", etc. There are also some teaching materials, such as "Lovely Home", "Protect the Lamb", "Big Deer", and other songs, which are called hidden teaching materials. The rich moral connotation and profound philosophy of these textbooks require teachers to explore, discover and understand them when preparing lessons. For example: while learning to sing the song "Labor is the Most Glorious", students should be guided to analyze the lyrics and understand the profound meaning of "the joy of labor is endless, and the creation of labor is the most glorious".
2. Infiltrate moral education into various types of classes.
The content of primary school music teaching mainly includes singing teaching, music knowledge, appreciation teaching and comprehensive training. Teachers should analyze the characteristics of these classes and integrate moral education into various classes.
The songs selected for singing teaching in the teaching materials are rich in content, with a wide range of genres and diverse styles. The beautiful melodies and lively language of the songs make students love to listen and sing. The educational content is most easily understood and accepted by children. For example: when teaching and singing the "National Anthem", in addition to letting students understand the meaning of its lyrics, creative background, and life of the author, students should also listen first and feel the trumpet-like cry in the song, the repeated emphasis on "forward", and the second half The characteristics of the music itself, such as the urgent shouting and the use of triplet, not only accurately express the song, but also arouse the incomparable love for the motherland, thereby establishing the sense of responsibility of the young pioneers in the new era. When the students sing, they are serious, proud, and sincere in emotion. It can be said that they can't help themselves, combining reason with emotion, and blending emotion and reason. "All Good Friends", "Pumpkin and Winter Melon" and other songs, while students learn the songs, they also understand that people should care for each other, help each other, work together, and live in harmony. The entire teaching process is It is a process of ideologically educating students and cultivating their sentiments through songs and artistic images. When conducting sight-singing teaching with comprehensive training, attention should be paid to strengthening the cultivation of aesthetic ability while cultivating skills. For example, when sight-singing, students should be told to sing notes with emotion, to be soft and bright in the high notes, and to be deep and rich in the bass. This enables students to not only master the correct singing methods, but also stimulate their interest in music and cultivate their sentiments.
In the teaching of music knowledge, the transfer of knowledge and the students' psychological feelings are equally important. For example, when we introduce various musical notes, if we simply tell students the length of the note, it will not be easy for the students to understand. Instead, we guide the students to understand the duration of the notes, such as whole notes, half notes and quarter notes, and their durations. Longer will give people a stable and soothing feeling. The eighth note is lighter, while the sixteenth note gives a sense of urgency and so on. The combination of these notes forms the first element of music - rhythm. Then, various combinations of rhythm changes in music will bring about different psychological reactions. After a certain period of training, students' thinking reactions and adaptability can be improved to varying degrees to promote the healthy and effective growth of psychological quality.
Music appreciation teaching cultivates students' healthy taste, broadens their horizons, improves their appreciation ability, and cultivates noble sentiments through the appreciation of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign musical works. Especially through the appreciation of my country's folk songs and national music, students can love the motherland's national music culture and inspire patriotic enthusiasm and national pride. For example, when appreciating the national orchestral music "Spring River Flowers and Moonlight Night", I first let the students listen first. While fully feeling the elegance, tranquility, and warm artistic conception expressed in the music, they can also appreciate the magical and unique expressive power of my country's national musical instruments, and deepen the students' understanding of the music. Love of folk music. Then let students use their imagination, use their words and pictures to describe the rich connotation of the musical works, and dig deeper into the beauty. Through language induction, tell students the tangible aspects of intangible music: the motherland is so beautiful and the national music culture is so profound. As the masters of the new era, what should we do for the motherland? Someone among the students immediately answered: inherit and carry forward the national treasures; study hard and contribute to a more glorious future for the motherland? In this way, serious patriotism education penetrates into the hearts of the students in the quiet and elegant music.
Another example: When appreciating the song "Defend the Yellow River", you can conduct patriotic education for students in conjunction with the 60th anniversary of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War to arouse students' patriotism. When appreciating teaching, students should be immersed in the situation, enjoy joy, feel pain, express anger and sing passionately. Once students devote themselves wholeheartedly to the wonderful world of music, it can arouse their patriotism, make them feel the pride of the nation, the joy of learning and life, the admirability of heroic actions, and they will be baptized in the soul without knowing it.
3. Integrate moral education into teaching methods
Integrate music with related cultures, integrate biographies of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign musicians, celebrities and music, music and history, geography, and sports Telling students about the relationship in the form of stories or letting students tell it will leave a deep impression on the students' small minds and have an immeasurable impact. For example: During the study of "Young Pioneers Song", I gave the Young Pioneers a revolutionary tradition education based on the history of the growth and expansion of the Young Pioneers. The students became very interested when they heard about the history of their own organization. .
Having fun is a child’s nature, and games are one of the activities that children are most interested in. Make music games based on teaching materials. It enables children's personality to be fully expressed and helps to cultivate children's perseverance and the qualities of unity, friendship and mutual help. Games such as "Learn to be a little bee" and "Little frog looking for a home" not only make children feel the pleasant music atmosphere, but also receive hard-working and brave education and inspiration from the games.
Rhythm and song performances are a form of activity that children love to see, especially those in middle and lower grades. The ancients once said, "Singing is not enough for words, and dancing is not enough for singing." Music teaching provides students with good opportunities to creatively express their personal emotions. The value of this expression will have a huge effect on the development and improvement of personality. For example: "The Golden Peacock Jumps Gently" expresses the music and life of the Dai people through physical movements, bringing the usually unknown minority culture into the classroom and deepening students' understanding and love for national music. If it is a group dance performance by the students, it will also cultivate the collective spirit of unity and cooperation. The "New Curriculum Standards" require students to be able to "sing and perform confidently and expressively in public." In the process of free expression, students not only gain the joy of success, but also develop confidence, courage and a positive and optimistic attitude towards life.
In short, music teaching provides students with good opportunities to creatively express their personal emotions. It can cultivate students' noble sentiments of loving the motherland, loving life, loving all beautiful things, and working hard to make progress. As Beethoven said: "Music can make people morally noble." Therefore, in music teaching, we must deeply dig out the ideological and emotional educational factors inherent in music songs, give full play to the emotional role of music, and cultivate students' temperament. , improve aesthetic taste, and enable students to grow up healthily and happily one by one.
