Educationalists believe that music is the source of thinking. Without music education, it is impossible to have the required intellectual development. "Many scientists and artists also regard music as an important means to improve self-cultivation, inspire inspiration and creativity. How to cultivate children's interest in music! This issue is something we are discussing in the teaching of any subject, and it is also In order to achieve this goal - to cultivate people, the following are some of my immature thoughts and opinions in music teaching:
1. Give more initiative in learning. Children.
When teachers teach music activities, teachers should respect children and treat each child equally. During the interaction between teachers and students, children should be happy, relaxed and active, forming a good and warm atmosphere. Only by changing their concepts can teachers achieve mutual understanding, mutual respect, and mutual love. In order to listen to children's wishes in music teaching, and secondly, meet their requirements where feasible, teachers must be good at supporting children's discoveries and creations in music activities. Encourage, let each child have the opportunity to fully express himself, let the child become the real master of the activity, allow the child to put forward opinions, and discuss solutions together, care for the child's curiosity, cultivate the child's self-confidence, and truly develop the child's self-confidence. The identity of "supporter, collaborator, and guide" grows together with the children. For example: a child sang "Caterpillar" during free activities. Seeing that she was very engaged in singing, the teacher can give her timely support. I made a suggestion: "You sing really well. It would be even better if you sing and dance at the same time." She seemed very happy and immediately started singing and dancing. Sometimes the teacher also joined in after discovering the child's spontaneous musical behavior. Or be an enthusiastic audience, which can encourage children, increase their enthusiasm for activities, extend the activity time, and enrich the activity content. Of course, we should also keep abreast of and deepen the content of children's spontaneous music activities and their current needs. Life experience is closely related. We should go deep into children's lives in a timely manner to understand and master the things that children are interested in. Only in this way can we be aware of children's spontaneous musical behavior, so as to trigger children's spontaneous musical behavior in a targeted manner. .
2. It is very important to cultivate children’s aesthetic ability.
Music teaching is to allow children to gain aesthetic experience and cultivate their temperament in beautiful music. The best way to educate aesthetics is through experience. Among the topics discussed, without exception, children are allowed to participate in music activities, allowing them to see, listen, think, speak, and move in various activities. In practice, they can naturally I am thinking that this is true not only in music teaching, but also in other subjects. Let children practice it boldly and experience it for themselves. So what if they are wrong? At least they know that this is not feasible, and they should find the following method. For example: When organizing the rhythm activity "Bump", I repeatedly asked the children to listen to the music, so that the children could spontaneously create and perform movements with the music on the basis of being familiar with the melody, rhythm of the music, and understanding the content and meaning of the lyrics. They will take the initiative to find friends along with the music and interact with them naturally, without the need for teachers to remind and order them over and over again. In this way, under the teacher's timely and appropriate guidance on the children's performance and skills, the children will be able to interact with them naturally. Being able to freely put one's own aesthetic feelings and experiences into aesthetic expression and creation will achieve the ultimate goal of rhythmic activities.
3. Provide materials for children to create an environment
Provide materials for children to create an environment, starting from "problem situations" and "problem materials", and children's exploratory and creative learning under the leadership of teachers. Of course, there will also be lectures or demonstrations and imitation teaching when necessary. Music itself is an expressive art. First, children should have their own feelings about music. Encourage children to explore concepts on their own during singing, conducting, playing, and expressing, and improve their musical quality through activities such as jumping, listening, tapping, thinking, drawing, editing, and speaking, exercise their abilities in all aspects, and stimulate their initiative in learning. Positivity, creativity. For example, I guide the children to explore the Canon music form and organize the whole class of children to participate in the game. The 36 children are divided into two groups to explore the Canon music form by walking in circles while chanting children's songs. This kind of game activity not only trains children to keep a clear mind, but also cultivates children's coordinated movements and allows them to understand themselves in group activities. They are eager for everyone to cooperate successfully and are all full of interest. The children drew various drawings on the paper to seek their understanding of the canon music form. On this basis, the children were guided to sing in groups of two or one group or to perform rotation on the six-note instrument. It's difficult. During the activities, each child has many opportunities to explore and create, knowledge is constantly accumulated, and creative thinking continues to develop.
Music class is different from language and mathematics. It is a process of feeling beauty, discovering beauty, and creating beauty. It first requires learning to appreciate beauty and learn to discover beauty. How to take these classes well? Use various audio-visual equipment to cultivate children's interests. "Interest is the best teacher." If children are not interested and learn passively, it will directly affect the educational effect. Nowadays, a major problem in music classes is related teaching materials tapes and VCD discs. Inadequate, especially in appreciation classes, some only introduce the first and second sides of the works in the book, which is difficult to induce children to have a sense of beauty in music. Therefore, it is very necessary to use modern teaching methods. By finding some materials on your own, you can free your children from boring singing in class. Only through a large number of materials and music appreciation can children increase their perceptual understanding and stimulate their interest.
The ancients said: If you read three hundred Tang poems by heart, you can recite them even if you don't know how to compose them. Only when children see more can they become more knowledgeable and improve their creative and aesthetic abilities!
4. Teacher encouragement is like a spring breeze.
During the process of commenting on children's activities, teachers allow children to experience pleasant emotions, help children build self-confidence, gain a sense of success, and discover and affirm children's shining points. For example, in a series of game activities in which children recite, sing, and play children's songs, in the practice activities again and again, the children truly feel that I am a member of the group. If I make a mistake, the sound will not sound good. I try my best to use the following comments to encourage children to develop self-control. When the game is not successful, I ask questions or make suggestions, let the children think, practice, and encourage the children to finally succeed through hard work and cooperation. Therefore, in this arousing activity, those naughty and inattentive children can enhance their self-control ability and promote the development of children's interests. Secondly, the evaluation attaches great importance to children's exploration and creation. I allow children to have different answers, encourage them to learn from independent problem solving and practice, and create an atmosphere of mutual discussion. This kind of teaching focuses on young children's future. In teaching, you may feel that the start is slow, but the bits of knowledge that children gain in the process are not "instilled" by teachers, but discovered by themselves, and this is precisely the most important thing.
Therefore, we should not only treat music teaching as a task to complete seriously, but also treat it as a pleasure to savor and enjoy. Letting children achieve the goals of kindergarten music teaching in interesting music activities is the direction of our efforts. We must bring every child into the beautiful realm of music, purify their hearts and cultivate them in the process of feeling and expressing beauty. Their temperament promotes the harmonious development of their body and mind.
