I. Training objectives of creative education
(1) Cultivating students' creative interest
Interest does not come out of thin air, which requires us to provide students with creative content, create an environment conducive to cultivating creativity, and arouse students' interest through creative activities. Music curriculum standards regard creation as one of the important content standards, and require that a large number of creative music activities be designed in teaching materials to stimulate students' interest and gain the joy of success in the process of exploring music.
(2) Cultivating students' creative thinking
Creative thinking is a complex thinking process that combines image thinking and abstract thinking, especially focusing on cultivating students' divergent thinking. Different thinking, convergent thinking, intuitive thinking, etc. The traditional teaching mode and indoctrination teaching method of teachers are not conducive to the development of creative thinking. Therefore, we should vigorously advocate subjective education, cultivate and develop students' personalities and specialties, and promote the development of creativity.
(3) Cultivating students' creative expression ability
Music curriculum standards list "expression" as an important content standard, which is to cultivate students' creative expression ability and give play to students' creativity in the process of music expression. Among them, it includes positive creative consciousness, certain knowledge base, unique personality and coordinated cooperation ability. Basic knowledge and skills are the basis of creative expression ability, so while vigorously promoting creative education, we cannot ignore the learning of knowledge and skills.
Second, the content of music creative education
(1) Exploring the composition of music
Music is a complex art composed of many elements. In the past, teachers told students what it was. Now students should be guided to explore by themselves, and the process of exploration is the process of cultivating students' creative thinking.
(2) Cultivate association and imagination
Imagination is an important symbol of creativity. In music teaching, we should attach importance to the role of music appreciation, constantly reform the teaching methods of music appreciation, liberate ourselves from the professional appreciation mode, and start with our understanding of music to promote the development of imagination.
(3) Cultivating the ability to organize information
The 21st century is an era of information. It is also a creative process to learn not only to collect information, but also to organize information as needed.
Third, creative teaching methods
(1) Open teaching methods
Modern education calls for open teaching methods because it is conducive to cultivating students' creativity, exploration spirit and cooperation ability. Open teaching methods can take the following forms:
① Group learning: we can give full play to our specialties, produce leaders, exercise organizational skills, and communicate and cooperate.
② autonomous learning: ask questions, explore by yourself, draw conclusions and attach importance to the process.
③ Discussion: Questions should be deep rather than superficial, so as to cultivate students' expressive ability.
④ Performance: The performance here refers to a special performance meeting, which needs to be organized, rehearsed, designed and implemented before class, and plays an important role in cultivating students' comprehensive ability.
(2) Inquiry teaching method
Inquiry teaching method refers to a method in which teachers create problem situations (put forward research questions, provide research materials and experimental means), students conduct independent research (use existing knowledge to find problems and answer questions), and obtain conclusions of problems (new knowledge). In this process, we should vigorously develop students' creative thinking, at the same time, we should rely on internal motivation to stimulate students' enthusiasm for learning and attach importance to the cultivation of students' interest. Modern educational concept holds that music education is not only the study of knowledge and skills, but also has rich and profound connotations, so that students can acquire comprehensive quality through exploring music.
(3) Participation in teaching method
Active participation is to give full play to students' main role and guide them to explore problems actively and actively. Full participation is to give every student the opportunity to participate. For example, we can design activities to celebrate Children's Day on June 1st, including singing, dancing, reading, writing, drawing and performing, and give full play to each student's specialties. The forms of participation should be diversified, besides listening, speaking, moving, singing, playing, writing and drawing, we should also open up new fields. There should be not only dynamic participation, but also static participation, but inner participation needs to be expressed in an explicit way, otherwise, it is not conducive to the examination of students' participation results.
Fourth, the methods of music aesthetic education
(1) Feeling and experience are one of the main methods of music aesthetic education
Because music learning is mainly about the feeling of sound, and it is also characterized by uncertainty, the main method of learning music is feeling and experience. Everyone has different feelings or experiences about music. In order to express their inner feelings about music, there must be externalized means of expression.
(2) Music aesthetic education through acoustics.
Music is the art of hearing, and any non-auditory means can't correctly reflect the aesthetics of music. Therefore, in music teaching, we should put the cultivation of students' musical hearing in the first place, and learn music through the sound of music.
(3) Music aesthetic education through the practical activities of appreciation, performance and creation
Music creation, performance and appreciation are the main practical activities of music, and the aesthetic feeling of music is also reflected through these three activities. For example, composers express the beauty of music through the basic elements of music, music performance (singing) expresses music through timbre, and appreciators experience the beauty of music through the feeling of sound. Therefore, music aesthetics.
(4) Music aesthetic education through subject integration
Music aesthetic education should get rid of the misunderstanding of subject-centered, and cultivate students' aesthetic quality through comprehensive study of subjects. For example, music and poetry have similar artistic conception. Some scholars believe that Mozart's music is a melodic, harmonious and rhythmic Tang poem. The rich pastoral atmosphere brought by his Piano Trio in Major can also remind people of the works of the British watercolor painter Winter, The Traveler Resting Outside the Hotel and The Harvest Scene of Coming Rain, and feel the quiet realm of the ancient poem "The trees in the lonely village are faint and the bells in the distant temple bring the sunset". The combination of music and poetry deepens the aesthetic experience of music.
in order to implement the new concept of music education, we must accept psychological reform of teaching methods according to children's music, get out of the misunderstanding centered on music discipline, implement comprehensive and comprehensive music education, provide students with rich teaching contents, improve their comprehensive quality, cultivate their healthy personality and promote their all-round development with flexible and diverse forms and rich and interesting teaching methods.
